Rupert Murdoch and the Myriad Means of Misinformation

The News Corp empire is vast and wide, and it deliberately slants the news while shamelessly promoting blatant disinformation in platform after platform all over the world.

Ask yourself, why does News Corp continue to publish a newspaper, The New York Post, which loses -- according to Murdoch family sources -- in the area of $50 million a year? Is it because the company is so proud of this terrible tabloid? Hard to believe. And why did Murdoch pay so high a premium to purchase The Wall Street Journal, an "investment" that has already cost the company billions and will certainly keep doing so as its value continues to diminish over time? Murdoch controls so many media properties in so many places that the notion of focusing on one single donation to one group might be considered trivial by comparison. The entire empire is at the disposal of political conservatism. The Republican Governors Association is just one more vehicle.
