So should we assume that Trump’s dear friends on the couch will soon be abandoning ship?

Not surprising. I also noted in today’s WSJ column by Karl Rove (I read so you don’t have to) on the chances of a Trump win that halfway through he switched to cheerleading a possible GOP backlash rout in the 2022 midterms. if you’re already looking forward to the next midterms when the presidential election isn’t even over yet you’re losing.

Murdoch’s media properties eagerly disseminate Russian propaganda (the Hunter Biden nonsense, for example), stoke right wing violence and terrorism, and has pundits who openly lie and spew conspiracy theories. All of it to support Trump.

Rupert Murdoch is responsible for a lot of the extremism flooding the US, Australia, and the UK, and radicalizing the GOP’s voters.

Can’t he just die?

It wasn’t included in the post but I found this hilarious-

“After all that has gone on, people are ready for Sleepy Joe.”

But what does Andrew Breitbart think of Trump’s chances? Oh that’s right… still dead.

Murdoch knows a loser when he sees one and he can’t distance himself fast enough.

No-one is more responsible for the worldwide climate of opinion that Trump emerged from, than Rupert Murdoch. When (pray God) Trump is defeated, Murdoch again will be the world’s most dangerous man.

“No comment except I’ve never called Trump an idiot.”

“To be precise, I called him a fucking moron. Oh, wait, no, that was Rex Tillerson. I remember now. I called Trump a mentally disturbed douchenozzle.”

Good.

I hope Joe gets a majority on the FCC to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine, Equal Time Provision and reinstates ownership limits to break up the 24/7 Republican BS Machine!

Murdoch see the writing on the wall. His Fox News propaganda outfit is already coordinating with GOP strategists to make the federal deficit a Big Deal again (created, as always, by a Republican presidential administration) and hammer away at “austerity” in order to hamstring Joe Biden and the Democratic congress.

Media magnate Rupert Murdoch has predicted privately that Democratic nominee Joe Biden will defeat President Donald Trump in the presidential election in a landslide victory, the Daily Beast reported Thursday.

The Australian-born billionaire who has been an influential supporter of the President in the past has remarked to close associates that Trump is his own worst enemy, according to the Daily Beast. Murdoch suggested to at least three Daily Beast sources that Trump has handled the COVID-19 pandemic poorly and ignored advice on how to better manage it, which has created a never-ending crisis for his administration.

He’s right about the landslide.
He’s right about Satan’s Avatar being his own worst enemy.
He’s right about Trumplethinskin’s failures regarding the pandemic.
SO WHY IS HE SUCH AN ASSHOLE THAT HE REFUSES TO AIR THE TRUTH?
Your one word response: Mammon.
Corrupted by Mammon.

Murdoch is one of the most very-major assholes who has contributed to the destruction of American politics through his weapons of polarization.
FUCK HIM.

I posted something similar in another thread, but this year “Normal and not-crazy” is actually a compelling differentiator.

I had a different site up which had a thumbnail photo of Murdoch. I wasn’t looking at it directly, but I had the impression someone had put up a photo of a human brain. When I looked closer, Murdoch’s putrid face materialized.

I really, really wonder what the shadowy connections are between Putin, Murdoch, Murdoch’s ex-wife took up with Putin for a while, or Putin’s ex took up with Murdoch…I don’t remember. And then Cambridge Analytica and those Mercer pukes, plus Australia, UK, Chump, Bannon…etc. Putin is the master blackmailer and could have vast files on all these folks and in case they kept their noses clean, would resort to creating kompromat or just skip having ‘the goods’ and gone straight to threats against family etc. to achieve what he wants. That is the ring that needs busting up.
