People get up tight about Vladimir Putin, but look at what Rupert Murdoch has done with Fox News!

Who investigates his agenda?

1. Excellent point!

This is how the division of America began... Propaganda lies, yellow journalism for profit....

2. The original mission statement included something along the lines of:

Created to counter a perceived liberal bias in the media.

It was vanished from their site when they wanted to claim fair and balanced. Impossible for an organization when the mission statement declares a conservative bias.

3. Murdoch/Fox/Limbaugh are most responsible for destroying America.

Crazy conservative fairy tales have become numbingly common
The sheer absurdity of the tale is familiar these days, reminiscent of “Pizzagate,” the bonkers story about Democrats running a child prostitution ring out of a DC pizza joint. Even after it went viral on Reddit and some jacked-up angry white guy showed up at Comet Pizza with a gun, it still had the scent of parody. It is quite simply impossible for most people to imagine believing all the things that would be required to also believe that DC Democrats are into organized child trafficking.

Murdoch created this. All with the goal of destroying government to cut his own taxes.

4. I have to agree. With all of the Russian hysteria American oligarchs get a pass.

We need to focus as well on those inside the United States, the Koch brothers for example, who want our government to fail. Elimination and privatization of government functions is their goal and has been for awhile now.

5. Really, The Damage They Have Caused

It is nothing but right wing reactionary racist sexist propganda. The lie, distort, or just ignore stories they feel they need to ignore.

And now Sinclair, to the right of Fox, want to spew their far right views on 75% of the USA

We need a big increase in people who do their own research.
