Rupert Murdoch also owns the Wall Street Journal, the NY Post, the London Times and the tabloid The Sun. Australia is even worse: “News Corp Australia dominates the country’s media sector, with 58% of daily newspaper circulation; a swathe of regional newspapers, the only national broadsheet, the Australian; the only pay TV network, Foxtel, which broadcasts the Murdoch-owned Sky News; and the most-viewed website, news.com.au.”
It is so bad in Australia that “Murdoch has cultivated an atmosphere of fear in Australia. Debating Murdoch’s power has long been effectively off-limits. Politicians, academics, corporates, even journalists and commentators from other news organisations are fearful for their own reputations, because they know from experience that Murdoch’s editorial henchmen will come after anyone who attacks them, with a view to shredding the offender’s reputation.“
He supposedly has turned over the reigns to Lachlan who is as conservative as his father and a strong climate change denier. Goebbels would be impressed.
