Rupert Murdoch The Most Evil Human In History

[DanieRains]

In my opinion.

His media empire's brainwashing has caused more damage planetwide than Hitler or Stalin could dream of.

Conservatism = death / near extinction.

Ask an Aussie.

Someone should be calling out his cult creating propaganda before we all burn / drown.

Please rec.

[Botany]

1. more damage than Hitler or Stalin

please

[DanieRains]

5. Has Your Home Burned Yet?

Has a nut shot your kids?

Poison?

1/3 of America are brainwashed zombies.

MURDOCH.

[Botany]

7. People starved to death by Stalin in Kharkiv in the 1930s

The elimination of the fairness doctrine by Reagan and the rise of the right wing
propaganda networks has been a hammer to America's democracy and her collective
intelligence but they don't come close to the level of the holocaust, WW II, and or
Stalin's starvation of millions of people.

[DanieRains]

10. Yet

[smirkymonkey]

11. Exactly.

If he had it his way, that would be his ideal goal. Get rid of all those "useless eaters".

I can't wait until the old man buys the farm. Disgusting excuse of a human being.

[KPN]

15. Agreed. We are on the path. That's plain to see.

Like global warming, we know where this is going if Trump is not removed.

[JonLP24]

56. Fox News cheerleaded us in the Iraq war

They cause so much destruction indirectly. Look at the Caravan fearmongering. They're setting off mass shooters with their rhetoric and they don't care about the damage they cause.

I also blame the Telecommunications Act for deregulating the industry leading to channels like Fox News.

Study links U.S. polarization to TV news deregulation

PULLMAN, Wash. – Increasing American political polarization is linked to television news deregulation following the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, according to a Washington State University study.

“After 1996, we see changes in polarization based on how much television people are using,” said researcher Jay Hmielowski, assistant professor in WSU’s Edward R. Murrow College of Communication. He conducted the study with Murrow colleague Myiah Hutchens and former colleague Michael Beam, now at Kent State University.

Their work was recently published online in the International Journal of Public Opinion Research (http://ijpor.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2015/07/02/ijpor.edv012.short).

The telecommunications act sought to open markets to competition, but the result was consolidation. This included large companies like FOX and NBC buying smaller, independent TV stations and cable news channels.

Scholars and pundits have voiced concern that the U.S. government has become increasingly inept at solving important problems. Many point to political polarization as the culprit, with evidence of increasing attitude divergence among party elites, interest groups and activists.

[Democrats Ascendant]

2. Not sure MOST evil...

He's got some pretty scary company...

[Dem4Life1102]

3. Most evil???

[soldierant]

43. There really is so much competition right now

for the title of "most evil human being" that it has become very difficult to judge. Rupert Murdoch is definitely a contender. Even if it turns out someone else is worse, that's no excuse for Rupert.

[Dem4Life1102]

49. But did he go to evil medical school?

[C_U_L8R]

4. He's more PT Barnum without a care for the consequences

Playing the rightwing suckers and stooges for everything they got.

[DanieRains]

6. The Planet Hasn't Even Begin To Burn

Yet.

[DanieRains]

8. Our Brains Can't Process 5 Degrees Celcius Warming

Murdoch is the point man for climate change denial.

Wanna save the human race / planet?

Murdoch attacks you.

Reality.

[Ferryboat]

9. He has competition

I nominate Roy Cohn

After watching Where's my Roy Cohn i learned that it was Roy who managed to get Regan elected. Did so by encouraging Andersen to run as a independent, splitting the vote. There is more to the Cohn story.

Truly a evil man.

[MineralMan]

12. Only someone with a minimal knowledge of history would say such a thing.

Rupert Murdoch is an asshole. But, that's all. He never wielded any real power, and so did not order the deaths of millions of people. He was just an asshole.

[hay rick]

14. The previous assholes did not promote climate denial.

The death toll attributable to climate denial could easily run into the hundreds of millions.

[Mickju]

45. You are correct.

[KPN]

16. Ink! The power of the pen! Indirect effects

can exceed direct under the right circumstances.

History is a stretch — but it isn’t over yet. Who knows? Indirectly, Murdoch’s effect may prove cataclysmic.

[DanieRains]

23. Thank You For Making My Point

Billions die from collapse?

Children?

[mountain grammy]

27. Exactly!

[EX500rider]

24. It's like they never heard of Pol Pot or Mao or Genghis Khan etc.. nt

[DanieRains]

25. There Are Many Types Of Evil

Pol Pot isn't promoting extinction policies.

[EX500rider]

29. The Cambodia people might beg to differ. nt

[Haggis for Breakfast]

44. Never heard of the Killing Fields ?

Through many different methods - execution, starvation, brutality, abuse (I could go on.) - Pol Pot murdered 1.5 to 2 million Cambodians.

[DBoon]

51. The evil of the Khmer Rouge extended to Cambodia

and ended once the regime collapsed.

Global warning is causing death, misery, and destruction across the planet, and will continue for centuries after Murdoch's death.

The Khmer Rouge destroyed a country - Murdoch is destroying a global ecosystem.

[Demovictory9]

34. But promoted a political party that fights against health care

..
Contributes to deaths.. But agreed not as evil as hitler

[essme]

54. Well, my undergrad is history and I agree

with this post.

[lambchopp59]

13. Agreed, but only in our period of history. Craven asshole, for certain.

If there is a hell for evil souls to burn for eternity, I wouldn't be able to name a redeeming virtue of that greedy propagandist to spare him his fate. Metaphorical hell for him will likely be a sealed a fate of living all the lives he's actively impoverished.

[bitterross]

17. Maybe a bit more Gobbels than Hitler. Don't leave out Big Fossil Fuels CEOs.

I can't sign on for him being THE most evil man ever. We must give him his due, though. Just as we give Goebbels his due with respect to the Holocaust.

I'm afraid our rankings may have to change in the not-too-distant decades though. As climate change continues to reshape our environment we will have plenty of people to blame. Not the least of which will be the fossil fuel company CEOs and boards who knew, way back in the 50s, 60s & 70s where we were headed. I'm sure some talked themselves into believing the scientists were being too alarmist. That what they predicted could never happen. Others simply didn't give a shit since they'd be dead by the time it happened.

[sandensea]

18. Ted Turner said the very same thing about him

And he knows the slimy lizard better than most.

[Pepsidog]

19. In the show Secession which is basically, about Murdoch and family,

Brian Cox plays the Murdoch character and is confronted by his brother at an event honoring Murdoch and accuses him of the same thing you said comparing him to Hitler. Murdoch is single-handedly destroying Western democracy.

[tavernier]

39. Best show on tv.

I believe if I remember, the brother calls the family a nest of vipers.

I’ve read that Murdoch’s daughter said that she liked the show but wished that they would make her character (Siobhan) a bit kinder in coming episodes. Interesting if true.

[Pepsidog]

46. Very interesting

[turbinetree]

20. I think we deserve the The Fairness Doctrine.........................end of story...................

[Mc Mike]

21. He's up there, no doubt.

[PatrickforO]

22. Well, I do like hyperbole. Several people have commented on yours, so I won't belabor

that you might have overdone it a bit.

What I will say is this: Murdoch was a white supremacist. He and others laid the groundwork for the Trump presidency, particularly after Obama was elected. The right wing, led by Fox, hammered on Obama day and night.

You all know the slurs Barack and Michelle had to endure day after day so I won't reiterate them. They are sickening. Basically we had a whole network with millions of viewers denigrating Obama so completely that if you talk to a right winger about anything good Obama did, the propaganda onslaught was so pervasive you'll get nothing but a blank stare.

Then, remember when the media covered Donald Trump's rallies from beginning to end, day after day? That wasn't just Fox.

And look at the asshole Roger Ailes. Telling female talking heads at Fox that if they wanted to play with the big boys, they needed to lay with the big boys.

This whole right wing thing is a hate-fest. They hate everything. And they have played to the sense of victimhood of poor white people.

Yes, there were some economic conditions that they spoke to that our party will need to address (trade agreements unfair to American workers, the disconnect between workforce and economic development), but everything Trump has done, and I mean EVERYTHING, is straight out of Storm Front's playbook. And Fox, Breitbart, Storm Front and AM hate-talk radio helped make this happen.

But, Danie, if there is another Holocaust - one against brown-skinned people, Muslims and Jewish people this time - it will be the Trump administration and the Trumpist party (formerly the Republican party) that perpetrates it. We already have the concentration camps in place, with their filthy cages crammed full of lost, frightened children ripped from the arms of their mothers.

Murdoch was a total asshole, but if someone is going to be as bad as Stalin or Hitler, look to Trump and Stephen Miller, who went to school with Richard Spencer by the way, and organized white supremacist events at their college.

[DanieRains]

26. Murdoch Fertilized The Evil That Created Trump

And waters that evil today.

While a billion animals are cooked in one place.

A BILLION.

And counting.

[TheRickles]

28. Check out the movie "Bombshell" - it's a very disturbing look at the Fox culture. n/t

[AJT]

30. There was dancing in the streets of Oz when Murdoch became an American citizen.

[DAngelo136]

31. Conservatism Is Toxic To Modern Life

What you have written has been known for a long time. Here's a sample:
From the Conceptual Guerilla's "Defeat the Right In Three Minutes"

"It's really that simple. First, you have to beat their ideology, which really isn't that difficult. At bottom, conservatives believe in a social hierarchy of "haves" and "have nots" that I call "corporate feudalism". They have taken this corrosive social vision and dressed it up with a "respectable" sounding ideology. That ideology is pure hogwash, and you can prove it."

https://www.filmsforaction.org/articles/defeat-the-right-in-three-minutes/

Then, there's Phillip Agre's "What is Conservatism And What Is Wrong With It"

Q: What is conservatism?
A: Conservatism is the domination of society by an aristocracy.
Q: What is wrong with conservatism?
A: Conservatism is incompatible with democracy, prosperity, and civilization in general. It is a destructive system of inequality and prejudice that is founded on deception and has no place in the modern world.

Read the essays in these two links and you will know what the aims of Conservatives are. Know thy enemy.

[Polybius]

32. Stop

There is way worse.

[Jedi Guy]

33. LOL, no. Just no. Murdoch is, beyond a doubt, a prick.

But more evil than Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il, Kim Jong-un, Saddam Hussein, Hideki Tojo, Josef Mengele, Shiro Ishii? Not even close. Get back to me when Murdoch orchestrates a genocide, starves millions, executes people who disagree with him, uses chemical/biological weapons on civilians, or conducts sadistic "medical" experiments on people/children.

Your assertion is the kind of hysterical hyperbole that makes the left look ridiculous. Please stop.

[DanieRains]

35. Murdoch's Poison Is Worldwide

When the bodies are done being counted, Murdoch will win by a mile.

He had help though.

Corporate ran governments and "media" as well as fossil fuel promoters are to blame too.

Murdoch will win the most killed award by my estimation by a billion or two.

[Jedi Guy]

36. Sure, if you say so...

[JonLP24]

58. You are underestimating the damage Murdoch's empire has done

They got us into the Iraq war. They influence the country with caravan fear mongering inspiring mass shooters. The El Paso shooter used the same rhetoric that was on Fox.

[Jedi Guy]

60. Like I said, get back to me when X, Y, etc.etc. NT

[moondust]

37. Let's say "one of" the most evil.

Today Fareed Zakaria had former PM Kevin Rudd of Australian Labor Party on his show. Rudd talked about the situation with climate change and how their conservative governments and Murdoch have made it all worse. The clip will probably be posted someplace later.

[jimlup]

38. No, but I rec'd

I don't blame it all on Rupert Murdoch though he does share blame.

I blame it on our species for not grasping reality. Maybe we will still manage to solve it but it will be closer than those of us who grasp what is happening hope for.

The US election of 2020 will be critical. The American people have to vote with an overwhelming majority so strong that no vote machine or precinct manipulation can deny it. We must void the Republican falsehoods firmly. And, simultaneously deny the Putin's Russian mob their plan of weakening American democracy by putting Trump monster in office yet again.

[kimbutgar]

40. I am grossed that Jerry Hall married him

She is a major whore to marry that cretin.

[Aussie105]

41. Some women

put themselves up for auction. The bidder with the most money wins.

She and FLOTUS have a lot in common, I bet they would be instant best friends if they ever met. Despite the language barrier.

[milestogo]

47. Trump was already taken when she married Murdoch

Men who marry gold diggers deserve to know that they are only loved for what they have, and not for who they are.

[Duppers]

42. I'll agree because of the extent of his influence

And because of the most urgent nature of global warming. He and his network have suppressed truth. We're running out of time to save our very lives. We badly need legislation curbing fossil fuels and supporting alternatives. Murdock is the #1 reason this isn't happening.



Any skeptics here should read Bill McKibben, James Hansen, Michael Mann, etc.

[warmfeet]

48. Plenty of sick fucks to go around.

Let's focus on getting rid of them rather than crowning the top sick fuck.

[Initech]

50. I said in a recent post that Fox is responsible for most of the evil in the world.

[ArtTownsend]

52. Quantifying evil is strange. If someone kills 50 people as opposed to 100, are they any less evil?

What about a serial rapist who never murders anyone? What about a white-collar sociopath who defrauds investors, even if only his or her own family and friends?

Moreover, as far as I know, the only human life Hitler ever personally took was his own. By that standard, he has nothing on Ted Bundy or Stephen Paddock. Or does he? Is it in fact more evil to have other people kill on your behalf than at least have the “courage” to do the deed yourself?

What about one’s motives and intentions - in addition to the consequences of one’s actions and the actions themselves? What’s in the human heart?

[amywalk]

53. IDK, he's got a lot of competition, but he's one of the worst.

[Prof.Higgins]

55. I'm an Aussie. Murdoch is most evil person alive, indubitably. nt

[TheFarseer]

57. He went to great lengths to get a tax cut

I wonder if he would have focused on providing a useful service to help people instead of devoting his entire life to getting a tax cut, he could have probably made even more money and he could certainly feel better about himself - and not be burning in hell

[Politicub]

59. Goebbels but with global reach

Murdoch enables conservatives, the GOP and other despots to spread propaganda around the globe. His evil will endure long after he is gone.
