Are James and Lachlan Murdoch the Jared and Ivanka of Fox News?
American Thinker ^ | 05/02/2017 | Ed Straker

An older, somewhat conservative man is in charge. He takes on his children as his advisors. They drag him to the left.

Sound familiar?

But it's not Jared and Ivanka we're talking about now, it's James and Lachlan Murdoch. They kicked out Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly, allegedly because they liked girls a little too much. And now they have removed Bill Shine, one of the co-presidents of Fox News. On his show Monday, Mark Levin said he was convinced this is part of an effort to make the network more liberal, to reflect the liberal views of James and Lachlan.

In my research on James, I came across this very well written column which revealed the fact that James is a big believer in global warming.

“I’ve gotten to know Al [Gore] in a number of different contexts in the last number of years,” James Murdoch told the Financial Times in an interview. We “think the same way about the necessity of being realistic concerning the climate crisis,” Gore piped in during the same interview.

James is also a big Hillary Clinton supporter.

....he supported many Democrats in the 2016 election, including giving $2,700 (the maximum donation) to Hillary Clinton and over $35,000 to other Democratic candidates.

When President Trump announced his temporary ban on visitors from dangerous places like Somalia and Syria, James and Lachlan came out against it:

21st Century Fox chiefs James and Lachlan Murdoch—CEO and chairman, respectively—are the latest corporate leaders to come out against Donald Trump's executive order banning citizens of seven predominately Muslim nations from coming into the United States for 90 days and halting the Syrian refugee program for 120 days.

Questions for discussion

1) If James and Lachlan are Jared and Ivanka, which one is Jared and which one is Ivanka? Jared looks a little like a young John Malkovich, while Lachlan looks more like Lieb Shriver.
2) If Fox News gave me my own television show (I expect it to happen someday), do you think viewers would be turned off by my big beard and strong Norwegian accent? (I have a tendency to pronounce O's like the number zero with a slash through it.)

The Left-Wing Takeover of Fox News

http://www.aim.org/aim-column/the-left-wing-takeover-of-fox-news/

".....Rupert Murdoch’s sons, James, and his very liberal wife, Kathryn.

Her bio says, “Between 2007-2011, Ms. Murdoch served as Director of Strategy & Communications for the Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI) where she also managed CCI ‘s partnership with Microsoft in the development of a global greenhouse gas emissions tracking software.”

In short, she is a globalist insider who sees the green hysteria as a viable way to control people and their lifestyles.

James and Lachlan Murdoch—---Fox CEO and chairman, respectively--- came out against Pres Trump's E/O:<><> halting citizens of seven predominately Muslim nations from coming to the US for 90 days, and, <><> halting Syrian refugee programs for 120 days.

REALITY CHECK---Pres Trump responded to ex-Pres Obamba’s infamous surveillance uncovering foreign plots to get on the gravy train, then infiltrate and overthrow the US govt, to cause havoc, and kill Christians.

<><>Pres Trump responded to Obamba's launching a major “refugee project” to foist foreign rabid Christian-hating terrorists, criminals, torturers, beheaders on unsuspecting US citizens.

<><> Pres Trump responded to the dangers of a steady stream of Somali, Syrian, Afghan, Iraqi and Burmese Muslims, refugees who committed crimes in their homelands: Afghanistan, Algeria, Burundi, Cape Verde, China, Cuba, Eritrea, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, India, Iran, Iraq, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, and Zimbabwe.

==================================================

More startling, Obama resettled refugees in the US from Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sudan......these are listed among the ‘Top 10 Countries of Origin’ where female genital mutilation is practiced....usually on little girls.

Verified by US based pediatrician and fellow at the American Academy of Pediatrics, Dr. Hatem Al Haj Elhagaly, listed as a member of the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America (AMJA). This ‘Islamic scholar’ issued a 2006 ‘fatwa’ (an authoritative Islamic law ruling), saying that Islam sanctioned genital mutilation b/c sexual enjoyment is ‘better for the husband' when performed on a mutilated female.

Dr Elgahaly acknowledged that the majority of the scholars regard it allowable and some consider it wajib (obligatory).

FGM was being conducted at Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit for 12 years. Horrendous accounts surfaced of little girls genital body parts being savagely sliced off.

================================================

Then again, maybe the Murdoch boys are in favor of Female genital mutilation?

Concurring bump...at least one.

The upcoming sale of Tribune Media could be very interesting in this regard.

I gave up on Faux News a long time ago. Occasionally I’ll watch OANN, but for the most part, I get my national and international news off the internet.
