After Tuesday’s elections, entities owned and managed by Rupert Murdoch and his son Lachlan have lined up against President Donald J. Trump. There is now a “coordinated effort” across the New York Post, Fox News, and the Wall Street Journal against Trump.
The Post is running columns by longtime Trump hater John Podhoretz and gun grabber Piers Morgan bashing the 45th President. Podhoretz’s piece also lashes out at Blake Masters as an “election-denier,” and ludicrously asserts that we shouldn’t support candidates Mitch McConnell doesn’t like. Morgan, meanwhile, is urging Republicans to “dump Trump.” Unfortunately for him, Americans conservatives don’t tend to listen to foreigners that want to eradicate our Second Amendment.
The Sun Wot Won It.
Rupert Murdoch has long tried to use his media empire to swing elections. In 1992, his Sun tabloid infamously took credit for the Conservative Party victory in the election with the headline ‘It’s The Sun Wot Won It‘. They relentlessly tried, during the 2016 Republican primary, to prop up any Republican not named Donald Trump. It didn’t work.
Conservatives have more options than one tabloid, a Wall Street newspaper, and a television channel. The strength of independent conservative media means unelected globalist billionaires won’t decide who represents the Republican Party. It’s a blessing. Rupert Murdoch supports giving citizenship to over 10 million illegal immigrants. He does not share our values.
Ryan’s Revenge.
The list of people lining up against Trump right now is simply an indicator of how large of a threat he remains to the globalist elite. Fox Corporation board member Paul Ryan, for example, has been actively agitating against Trump.
He attacked Trump before the mid terms, saying he wouldn’t be the 2024 nominee. He was able to make this “prediction” because a long-standing plan involving key establishment figures has been well underway for over a year. In Fox’s “coverage” of Ryan’s attack, they failed to disclose to their audience that he is a board member of their parent company. Fox has a bad habit of hiding their employees’ and even guests’ conflicts of interest. For example, Karl Rove was a panelist on Fox’s Election Night coverage commenting against Trump-endorsed candidates without disclosing his super PAC spent millions opposing them. It’s corrupt.
Before the results were even in, Ryan tried to blame Trump for Republican underperformance. Think about it – the RINO establishment runs bad campaigns, throws money against their own candidates, fails to gear up for any election fraud challenges, and immediately has a strategy ready to blame Trump? It almost all seems intentional. It’s high time someone asked the question as to whether the GOP intentionally threw some of these races, just so they could have this fight.
It’s also strange how the former president gets the blame for defeats when he’s not the one in charge of the Republican Party’s apparatuses for election senators and congressmen. Where is the talk of the poor “candidate quality” of Mitch McConnell’s favorites? Just look at RINO Joe O’Dea in Colorado. He lost his senate election by nearly 12 percent. A week before the election, a longtime McConnell adviser Josh Holmes wrote that O’Dea is running a campaign that is “hall of fame material.”
A Fox in the Hen House. McConnell declined to support Blake Masters in Arizona. His Senate Leadership Fund spent zero dollars supporting Masters race. Instead, McConnell spent $9 million against Republican Kelly Tshibaka in Alaska.
Any blame on Trump for Republican underperformance also runs against the facts. Analysis revealed that in 2018 “without Donald Trump at the head of the ticket, Republican voters were much less enthusiastic, and the total House vote for Republican candidates fell by nearly 20% from 2016.” Two years later, with Trump on the ballot “Republican turnout for House races was bound to increase significantly over the depressed levels of 2018… Republicans did better, gaining an estimated 21.9 million.”
We saw this again on Tuesday with Mehmet Oz underperforming Trump in parts of Pennsylvania. They want to blame disappointing results on Tuesday on Trump as simply a means to preemptively crush a 2024 bid, without mentioning people like Murdoch, McConnell, and Karl Rove. And that’s because those people control much of the flow of information on the political right.
If Rupert Murdoch got his say, the Republican Party will go back to the days of his board member Paul Ryan. They don’t want “Trumpism without Trump.” They want a Republican Party without any of the populist reforms brought by President Trump. We should be wary of any other candidate the establishment wants to prop up.
They are also purposefully stoking the flames of war between allegiances to Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. Every ounce of energy directed between the two is a gallon of fuel not going into the long overdue war against McConnell and Murdoch. Getting the America First base to kill off each other is communist strategy 101.
If this News Corp/Fox Corp collusion is an indicator of what the 2024 primary will look like, then Donald Trump is back to being the outsider candidate. Donald Trump needs to seize this opportunity as the outsider to recapture the energy of the 2016 campaign. The system is aligned against him and his voters.
We don’t accept foreign interference in our elections. The Murdochs will regret sticking their Aussie thumbs on the scale.
Rupert is probably as out of it as Biden by now.
If you look at Murdoch’s Sky News Australia (clips available on youtube), they really don’t like or respect Biden. You won’t find anything less pro-Biden anywhere.
Bu maybe Newsom or Harris is the heir apparent.
Yeah? Just like we had that big “red tsunami” on Tuesday?
Because of fraud the next GOPer to run for President is going to need about 80 million votes. ONLY TRUMP HAS A DECENT CHANCE TO GET 80 MILLION VOTES.
Trump HAD the chance to get 80 million votes before he started going on bizarre, paranoid rants against everyone else in the GOP. You may not have noticed, but a lot of people are turning their backs on him. My Dad went to high school with him. I voted for him, Dad voted for him. I won’t again. And Dad is gone, so I can’t inquire as to his opinion, but I’m pretty sure he would concur. He was already pained by a lot of stupid crap Donald said in his first term. Now Trump has cranked it up to 11.
You will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.
Get used to the idea.
Where else are you going to go?
that latest of scores of attacks on Murdoch from the far left in Australia.
The Successor: The High-Stakes Life of Lachlan Murdoch by Paddy Manning
This is a book about the good, the bad and the ugly of the global media world, and about America in the age of Trump and Murdoch. It is a book about power, apprenticeship and succession...
https://www.bigw.com.au/product/the-successor-the-high-stakes-life-of-lachlan-murdoch-by-paddy-manning/p/235384
heard author Paddy Manning on taxpayer-funded ABC Radio Brisbane (Steve Austin’s Drive program) on Fri 4 Nov, but it is not archived on the show’s website, which is unusual. talk of Lachlan being good friends with Tucker, & how NYT says Tucker is the most racist presenter on cable tv or whatever.
Manning suggested Fox didn’t broadcast the important Jan 6 insurrection hearings during Tucker’s show, presumably as a favour from Lachlan! no mention the public wasn’t interested and the hearings weren’t shown during other Fox shows either.
similar stuff can be heard here on far, far left ABC show. excerpt at 26m50s begins with good socialist Lachlan following Uni days, changing to bad conservative Lachlan after 9/11!
26m50s to 37m - Fox/Trump/Charlottesville/friendship with Tucker,etc:
AUDIO: 39m: 31 Oct: ABC Australia: Late Night Live: How Lachlan Murdoch became the successor
Presenter: Phillip Adams
After Trump drove a wedge between Lachlan and his brother James, Lachlan is now the most likely successor. But could Lachlan’s siblings push him out after their father Rupert dies?...
Guest: Paddy Manning, author of The Successor: The high-stakes life of Lachlan Murdoch, published by Black Inc.

more proof of the Murdoch media’s attack on Trump, and how it’s bipartisan (for example, Sinodinos):
scroll down for audio:
on news.com.au homepage, podcast is titled “Aussie ambassador reveals what Biden’s really like”. (Arthur Sinodinos is the Ambassador - a Conservative politician, who remains in the position as a left-over from the previous Australian govt. a left-wing Govt has been in power since May 2022. Sinodinos can’t believe Biden’s energy, vigor, how he’s on top of his game, etc. Sinodinos has worked for Murdoch media.)
Scaramucci says Trump is a complete idiot, unfit to be President, couldn’t concentrate, a baby, etc etc. doesn’t think he’ll run in 2024 but, if he does, Scaramucci will do everything he can to stop him winning.)
AUDIO: 17m53s: 12 Nov: news.com.au: I’ve Got News For You Podcast

And we will get another 4 years of Communist rule. Read the writing on the wall. Look at the youth vote. Not only are they stupid, not only are they thoroughly-indoctrinated Communists, but they’re also turning out in record numbers now. The Red Guards are on the loose, and they’re going to be the ones in the driving seat in another decade or so. God help us all. There’s no helping this country. And Donald is self destructing right in front of anyone with eyes to see. It’s pretty pointless even trying to fight it anymore. We are toast.
No we won’t. After this failed attempt to blame Trump I am more dedicated than ever to see him re-elected. How’s that for plan. For you I have plan, STFU loser.
Ya know, I carried a rifle for 8 years to defend the rights of ALL Americans to speak freely. Including MYSELF. Why don’t you STFU, unhinged zealot? I don’t know about you, but I was raised to swear fealty to no man, but only to the Constitution. Trump is just a man. A flawed man. And his flaws are catching up to him. Get over it. LOSER.
Trump is running in '24. Desantis will get crushed if he tries to go against Trump.
You will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.
Get used to the idea.
Where else are you going to go?
And if Trump loses the nomination, you will be sitting in a corner with your thumb in your mouth pouting that Trump didn’t get the nomination. I’m not getting used to any idea. And if you want my rifle stuffed, I’d like to see you try, pally.
Many on FR need to read your post. So many on here dont seem to understand how great a president Trump was. It’s like they all got blue pilled with the elction.
They kinda did in 2020.
Well somebody’s picking these and it isn’t the voters!
The majority of them aren't having kids because they think the earth is about to end due to climate change or they're getting surgery that will disable their ability to procreate. They won't have any kids turning out in record numbers.
The anti-Trump bias in the NY Post is so blatant, it will leave bruises on your eyes. I am about ready to give up reading the NY Post, even online. Can't stand the Baltimore Sun libtard rag, so was reading the Post, but it is approaching that unbearably biased line, too.
Same people who said the jab is good and the people of Ukraine are angels and more important than our own border. Probably just swapped out their Ukraine flag for a pic of Ron god on their facebook profile.
Nobody wants to have kids these days. I’m glad I didn’t have any, to be cursed to live through what is to come. A very dear female friend of mine is not at all enthused about having children. Her boyfriend is black. Does she wanna deal with her kid coming home from kindergarten saying “Mommy is an oppressor”? Does anyone want to have children to be put through the Marxist meat grinder of public education? No thanks. If I had a kid in school these days, I’d already be in prison for assault on a Communist teacher or administrator.
Whoever these NeoCon nation destroyers (ours & others) support, I oppose.
Plenty of Hispanics everywhere having kids. Plenty of white folk out here in flyover country having kids and they never took a year long break from school so they’re ahead now.
