Rupert defamed! Outrageous charicature of Lord Rupert as just the puppeteer. HE OWNS ALL THE PUPPETS!
Dear Rupert. We are shocked at some of the commentary coming out of the bleeding hearts, the lefties, the do-gooders. They are defaming you. And it’s just sour grapes cos we know though you’re fabulously wealthy, you’re sticking up for ordinary Australians. That’s why we read the Australian AVIDLY. It offers sensible and simple solutions to quite tricky problems. It’s a source of constant reassurance, to those of us who are deeply worried about CHANGE!.
Your critics suggest you are a dictator, and the community is sick of your ‘winner take all fascism’. How dumb can they be?
One of your former knights has gone full out in trying to discredit you. That’s just ungrateful. We know you’ve worked hard. And it was your own dad you had to kill in order to become the most powerful Jedi Knight in the Universe. And why? Because Sir Keith failed to DESTROY the evil ABC. It is your destiny Lord Rupert. See the job is DONE!
Lord Rupert as a young man with Sir Keith who failed to kill the ABC when he had the chance.
Sir Menadue is a bit like Sir Tone of the Santamaria. He called News Corp a ‘rogue organisation”. He claimed you’re trying to get the Australian government to change media laws so that you can own Channel Ten. That’ll leave just the tiny outpost of Fairfax and castle ABC. Fairfax is weak, and the ABC you have in your thrall. Reliable reports from inside castle ABC suggest there’s more Murdoch knights in it than journalists. Keep at it, and the ABC will fall. It’ll be 1453 again. Cleansed of the ABC you can get onto more important things and steer away from dangerous leftist politics. It’s all in keeping Mitch Fifield’s “two policy strategy”.
‘Beer and Circuses’. Good beer is getting harder to find and when the family has had enough of cooking shows and reality tv, (Sky News) they can all enjoy the fun of the circus.
Menadue must be tried. He is a Quisling. He said this (with minor editing) within the ramparts of Castle ABC;
Lord Rupert in communion with his father, before the fateful decision that in order to destroy the ABC he had to kill HIM!
“The Australian government should resist any attempt to expand the media power of the news organisation which already controls 60 or 70% of the metropolitan media in Australia. It is a disgraceful organisation. Step after step [Murdoch] seeks favours from government to promote his rent seeking. Channel Ten is in voluntary administration and one of its billionaire backers, Murdoch’s son Lachlan, is in the box seat to buy the network if the media laws are changed to allow it.
In recent decades his organisation has become a disgrace. It’s trampled on democracy in three continents, it’s damaged the media enormously in three countries.
A Great Admirer of Lord Rupert.
It’s an unfortunate and tragic pattern, the damage that Murdoch is doing around the world. I think it’s a tragedy that a person who looked as if he would be an important contributor to a new, open style of media has turned out to produce such a dreadful rogue organisation such as News Ltd.
He is recently, of course, a supporter of Trump, a supporter of Theresa May, a supporter of Brexit; he supported the Iraq invasion and still justifies it. He’s a climate sceptic; his organisation has been accused and convicted of phone hacking and there is serial sexism at Fox News in the US.
It’s an appalling record for an organisation but of of great concern for me is the way he uses governments. Murdoch is; the great rent seeker, using his influence to change media laws in Australia now, just as he did in the 1980s when he used “political persuasion” to get the Hawke Labor government to “gift him” him the Herald and Weekly Times in Melbourne.
He is now seeking in the UK amendments to complete his $20bn takeover of Sky TV. It’s interesting to me that his papers in Australia and elsewhere are always attacking what they call welfare bludgers and single mothers yet he uses governments more than anyone else I’ve ever known.
News Corp publications liked to “rip apart” activists and organisations who might be critical of them, including GetUp, the Australian Press Council and the ABC. They are not content to dominate mainstream media; they just want to silence organisations that might be critical of them.”
What rot. We’re with you Rupert. Your cause is above politics. It’s doing what’s right for ordinary Australians. And judging by the level of political debate. Very ordinary indeed.
