Who's afraid of Rupert Murdoch? The end of an era.

[Pessimistic]

The worlds most influential person in my lifetime. I hope the world has a big party when he croaks.

Even better I hope he’s fully aware beforehand the world is going to party on his passing

So glad they have a paywall as I am not tempted to read (head hurt) and certainly wouldn't pay for it.

One would have to wonder what is anything is going on in politics in Australia if they relied solely on these rags/or on line sites for information.

Thanks goodness for The Guardian, Conversation, smaller independent news sites and my ABC.

We should keep sending him videos of the Thatcher Death Parties subtitled "You're Next!"

Excellent article. Much cause for hope that Murdoch’s pestilential influence has done its dash.

The award for the least graceful resignation speech has to go to Chrissy. The mincing little closet case just needs to f*** off.

He should be paying us for having to put up with this repulsive tax bludgers dribble

What'd he say ?

He admitted he's a secret port fan

Any sensible person can agree that the Daily Tele is the worst of the lot.

From trashy sports journalism (the NRL commentators are heavily despised by most of the sports fans) to silly conservative tribalism which extends to defending friends of the cause for being found guilty of serious crimes in court.

It's somewhat amusing they employ Hildebrand to save face.

Just saw a new global scientific study, that shows alarming and potentially catastrophic consequences , hardly given a mention in the Murdoch papers.Front page has 4 articles on Labor,one on the Greens and it's mostly a fear campaign in border security.The Daily Mail was recentlty taken off the reliable news source list by wikipedia. Is it time for the rest of the science denying papers to be added to the list? Four out if five climate change articles in The Australian recomnend no reduction in carbon emmissions.The Herald Sun is similar.Should we cop this from our newspapers and what can be done about it?

I'm surprised you require external validation.

"But the report, a potentially huge scandal that could have damaged Trump at the polls, never saw the light of day. The Fox News executive Ken LaCorte reportedly told Falzone: “Good reporting, kiddo. But Rupert wants Donald Trump to win. So just let it go,” the New Yorker article says."

It’s not a free media when controlled by the gubmint

Hierarchy of Australian gubmint

Top - The actual Australian Gubmint (unaccountable)
-key stakeholders like Rupert Murdoch

Bottom - the elected dickheads (the facade)
-paid by the taxpayer to represent the actual gubmint and their interests


Operating within Australia is Australia’s media conglomerate, which includes Rupert Murdoch’s news media, therefore owned and controlled by our actual government.

A tax bludging propganda front run by the unofficial supreme ruler paid for by the tax payers

Yeah, I was wondering why the ATO were having all those ads on TV stating how great they are, for going after the big multinationals, so us plebs can enjoy... whatever benefit they're pretending to give us... this must have been a reward from our un-elected supreme overlord

If the ATO really wanted to show how good they are, they would be giving the ATO whistleblower "Employee of the year" rather than consecutive life sentences (funny if it wasn't true).

If you want tax bludging look no further than the ABC.

Fleecing taxpayers.

Imposing a carbon tax in Oz IS NOT doing anything about it. There are those with the intelligence to realise this and those who are not. You clearly are in the latter camp

I can see two clear problems with the former camp. The fact that they think they’re intelligent is one.

Australia accounts for circa 2% of global emissions. Cutting that by 30% still wont have a statistically meaningful affect on global temperatures.

If several countries with similar rates are all cut by 30% wouldn’t it have a significance?

I've heard that the son is less competent than his old man; is that true?
