Is Murdock cited by Ghislaine or listed on the flight logs?

Asking for a friend.

But Paul Ryan is still on the Board?

I don’t know what to make of this.

Yep.

I was just about to post....likely disagreements over Tucker’s programming.

Tucker has only become more emboldened, thankfully, over the months.

Keep at ‘em, Tucker...and, good riddance you lib hack, James.

Actually, I think I am in error. News Corp IIRC holds the “print” interests of Fox, not Fox News.

If just one of the 3 other networks put a non TDS person on late night, it would be the #1 late night show by a mile.

If someone at FOX was trying to make them go woke, that guy needs to be fired, even if he’s the owner’s kid.

These people are letting their liberal beliefs come before making money.

Back when the world was sane, those people were known as “idiots”.

That was my first thought, but, as much as I am sure he has a problem with Tucker, I am not so sure that's it.

See post #9 above.

Watched an interesting interview of John Solomon and he said that Paul Ryan told him he was surprised that the FBI, DOJ were up to no good. Maybe he really thought POTUS was colluding with Russia?

If anyone wants to watch the video it’s here - I might watch again - interesting info!

Maybe his wife ordered him to do it, so he could ‘make a statement’ to his father.

James Murdoch had been on News Corp.’s board of directors since 2013.

News Corp. is one of two media companies controlled by James’ father Rupert Murdoch and the Murdoch family. The other is Fox Corp., the parent company of Fox News and the Fox broadcast network, which was created after 21st Century Fox sold its entertainment assets to The Walt Disney Company.

It seems the recent letter from the young WSJ staffers to the editorial board demanding that it take a knee to cancel culture and the unequivocal rebuke by the board was the last straw. James is a young liberal who wants to go his own way with Lupa and its association with Vice.

This is actually good news in terms of the independence of the WSJ editorial board and a microcosm of the national battle against the illiterate woke culture that is driving the news cycle.
