James Murdoch claimed on Friday that U.S. news outlets will be faced with a 'reckoning' after last week's deadly pro-Trump riot at the U.S. Capitol.

In an interview with the Financial Times, the 48-year-old blamed 'media property owners' for unleashing 'insidious and uncontrollable forces' with their support of disinformation about the 2020 election.

James, the youngest son of billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch, also claimed that media groups fueled the riot by leading 'a substantial portion' of the public to believe 'a falsehood' about the election.

They’ll be faced with a reckoning, all right. But it will be for their role in the cover-up of massive election fraud.

And that little protest at the Capitol will be child’s play when the SHTF. And no, I’m not promoting violence. The reckoning will go far beyond any simple violence. 74+ million Americans won’t forget. And neither will the Good Lord.

This is tidings of great joy. That means he will continue to destroy Fox News. In the years ahead, economic majors in business schools will be shown Fox News as an example of WHAT NOT TO DO when managing a highly successful business.

Per the article: James has split from his father and is NOT involved with the running of Fox News.

Fox Corp was created for a reason.

FNC doesn’t have to make a profit.

Burn down the whole country all year including attacking the White House and federal buildings and statues and nothing happens.

But we have to listen to these punks.

There are four lights.

The media pushed the phony Russia collusion story for 4 years. Several dems in Congress used collusion as a reason to challenge Trump’s electoral votes.

Dems challenged Bush’s electoral votes in 2001 and 2005.

So....where is the outcry?
