James Murdoch, the CEO of 21st Century Fox and son of conservative media magnate Rupert Murdoch, ripped President Trump's response to violence in Charlottesville, Va., last weekend, also pledging a $1 million donation to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
The Hollywood Reporter reported Thursday that it had obtained the email memo Murdoch sent to friends. In the email, Murdoch says he was concerned with Trump's comments on the violence that broke out after a white supremacist rally last Saturday.
"What we watched this last week in Charlottesville and the reaction to it by the President of the United States concern all of us as Americans and free people," Murdoch wrote in the email.
"These events remind us all why vigilance against hate and bigotry is an eternal obligation a necessary discipline for the preservation of our way of life and our ideals. The presence of hate in our society was appallingly laid bare as we watched swastikas brandished on the streets of Charlottesville and acts of brutal terrorism and violence perpetrated by a racist mob," the email continued.
"I cant even believe I have to write this: standing up to Nazis is essential; there are no good Nazis. Or Klansmen, or terrorists. Democrats, Republicans, and others must all agree on this, and it compromises nothing for them to do so."
Later in the email, Murdoch announced that he would be donating to the ADL, and encouraged his friends to do so as well.
Heather Heyer, 32, was killed and more than a dozen people were injured when a driver, who allegedly had connections to white supremacists, plowed his vehicle into a crowd of counterprotesters on Saturday, according to police.
In a wild impromptu press conference Tuesday, Trump doubled down on his claims that "both sides" deserved blame for violence by white nationalists in Charlottesville.
The comment has resulted in backlash from politicians and political observers from both political parties.
ANYONE who has cable TV with fox is funding this dickweed. you are therefore, PART OF THE PROBLEM.
I can’t think of a media overplay that has reeked of this much desperation.
They already ran the network into the ground.
This reminds me of the Billy Bush tapes, all hands on deck. It’s worrisome that they are unafraid to take the side of tyranny, are they that confident?
I mean they are up against the President of the United States, that must count for something even in today’s world.
They already tried the sexual harassment thing. Fox is purging conservatives. It’s clear. They’re an enemy.
Drop cable and get OANN via Roku or another service. There is a company that provides annual access to Internet devices, too (Klowd-something).
I have blocked Fox, CNN and MSNBC. They are all the same. FAKE NEWS.
If Shawn and Laura Ingram went to OAN that would be the end of Faux.
I only watch Fox Business. Apparently the boys don’t realize they own it yet....
If any of us really cared about what the media is doing we would do something about it.
How about we all turn off our television sets when the Fall 2017 starts.

If you can’t turn off your television for one week - you don’t care!
PING!!!

I don’t know how to post a picture on here so here’s a link to a picture I wanted to post.
The liberal media is the biggest hate group in America.
When the idiots fired the man who made the network, Bill O’Reilly, the handwriting was on the wall. They’re almost 100% liberal now, After Hannity, Judge Pirro and Watters are fired, the network will not last 6 months. Liberalism will do that.
aaaaand just like that, BAMMO..!
I’ll never watch Fox News again.
The headline as always is #FakeNews. Jr actually did no “ripping” of the President and pretty much repeated what the President had said.
But what was infinitely more interesting was how sophomoric and awkward his writing style and diction was. What is he, a 17 year old writing his college entrance essay? LOL! These Murdoch party boys are gonna take daddy’s legacy and flush it right down the toilet.
not watching is not enough as they still receive fees from you paying your cable provider. Need to cut the chord and go with live streaming...
