There may be no media figure more important in preparing Republicans and President Trump himself for a post-Trump period than magnate Rupert Murdoch.
Among his properties, the top-rated Fox News Channel stands out, its role in shaping conservative thought and Republican Party politics unrivaled, at least within media.

Faux News. I have liked some of them from time to time, but their inconsistency rubs me wrong. Stick to your guns, don’t compromise! Several I have never liked. They are oddballs and they always have their finger up to judge the way the wind is blowing!
To defund FOX, you will have to cut your cable/satellite service.
FOX NEWS, and ALL other cable/satellite companies get paid by AT&T, COX CABLE, etc. etc.
Granted, ad rates are based on viewers, but IIRC, the bulk of TV network revenues comes FRom cable/satellite subscriptions. That is how CNN, with the lowest viewer ratings in history, can stay in business.
If I could retain my DVR capability, I’d drop AT&T U-Verse like a hot potato!
IMO, if you need the media to tell you how to think, then you have a big, big problem.
No arguments from me. I hate that slimeball. He is as scuzzy as anyone alive. He is a typical liberal socialist communist lying cheating scum-bucket liberal dimocrat. Pure puke on the ground by a drunken druggie. Sorry for being so, so vague!!! I simply don’t like this guy. Never have.
