Rupert Murdoch: Everything You Didn't Know About His Sh*tty Past
#Hysteria #HysteriaPodcast
On episode 17 of "This F*cking Guy," Hysteria podcast hosts Erin Ryan and Alyssa Mastromonaco dive deep into Rupert Murdoch’s unscrupulous past. From building a fake news media empire, to backstabbing his kids better than Logan Roy, to a relationship history to rival Henry VII, this guy is the grandpappy of evil meets ick.

“ I won't be gaslit over Trump. If you suck up to him, you will get more bullying — Malcolm Turnbull(The Sydney Morning Herald): I was not surprised to see the News Corp publications gleefully adopting Trump's abuse and claiming that I had “torpedoed” any hopes of securing an exemption from steel and aluminium tariffs. It has always been most unlikely that Australia will secure an exemption this time. It was hard enough in 2018 and all the signals from the administration are that the tariffs will be applied across the board.

And it perhaps never occurred to the team at News Corp's Holt Street HQ in Sydney that it is utterly bizarre that the unremarkable comments of a former prime minister would cause the US to decide not to exempt Australia from tariffs. Not a word of criticism of Trump, of course!

I was amused to reflect on the mental stress this episode was causing our friends at News Corp. Such a target-rich environment! They can blame me for the tariffs, or Kevin Rudd, or Anthony Albanese. Surely they can work out a formula where it's the fault of all three — but never, ever the fault of Donald Trump!”

Another example that Murdoch press is just #unethical and #evil. 😡

"News Corp staff tried to provoke workers at a Middle Eastern restaurant into making prejudicial comments.

The confrontation in the #Newtown restaurant was described this week by Asio’s director general, Mike Burgess, as “mind-blowingly stupid”.

News Corp tracked down the source of the leak to Crikey that the operation was known internally as “#undercoverjew” and he was asked to resign"

News Corporation has misled the Australian Parliament. In a Senate submission, they claimed Foxtel pays “millions of dollars” in income tax, GST, and payroll tax—unlike their international competitors. However, Foxtel was actually paying zero income tax at the time. Lying to the Senate can result in imprisonment, but ‘contempt of Parliament’ laws are rarely enforced.

The boss of #Foxtel - a majority #NewsCorp-owned cable television company in #Australia - has "unreservedly" apologised after an image surfaced of him performing a #Nazi salute.
#PatrickDelaney said he believed he was showing "the similarity" between the gesture and one used by some fans of a #WesternSydney #soccer club when the photo was taken a decade ago.
