'There will be a reckoning': Rupert Murdoch's youngest son James blasts 'toxic' US media owners after the Capitol riots and says their 'lies' have promoted 'insidious and uncontrollable forces'

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.

Yea, thought so.

There are reports they are going to hire brother of leftist screwball Ben Rhodes, the CBS agitprop chief David Rhodes.

Just when you think Faux could not fo any lower.
They did.
The fact that Son of Murdoch is lashing out, shows
his frustration with Faux’s gutter ratings.
I believe he is referring to Newsmax, OAN,
America’s Voice News etc.

What the hell is this bloody Limey ranting about? All news about election fraud was censored by these people and as the Murdoch matriarch said “they did it”!
Big Brother is alive and well. It’s simply stunning.

Hey James, here’s brain wave for you. Why don’t you put some actual investigative reporters on the case to get to the bottom of all these stories? You are a news organization, the last I heard.

It’s like when liberals still claim that the media is “conservative”, because they aren’t full-blown Stalinist.

Hey, Murdoch: https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2021/01/did-the-democrats-steal-the-presidential-election.php

There was, in fact, a theft of the 2020 election from both Donald Trump and the American People. Everyone and his dog knows it, and all of your childish pouting and stomping of your feet won’t change that...in fact, it is likely to convince even more people that The Steal did, in fact, occur.

Word to everyone: constantly and ONLY refer to Joseph Biden as the FICUS (Fraudster in Chief of the US). Besides, he’s got about the mental capacity of a ficus plant, so you get a twofer).

“Fox Corp was created for a reason.

FNC doesn’t have to make a profit”

I doubt all of the share holders hold that opinion. They have to remain financially viable. There is no Fox entertainment / Movie Catalog, Movie Studio’s to back up losses at FNC(sold off two years ago) Sports revenue is down yuge, so it’s too much for Fox Sports to keep FNC / FBC profitable. The Murdoch’s are walking a tightrope of their own doing.

If I were a Fox personality I’d be worried with morons like that, Paul Ryan included, running the network.

They will Drop “Fox” from their title, and just go to “News” - which more accurately translates like the old Soviet Isvestia.

The motto will also be modified to the more accurate “We Report, It’s Decided”

The evidence of voter fraud is compelling. But Murdoch would rather cover for the cheaters and see his family's news organization loose over half its viewers.
