  1. Lachlan Murdoch is pissed that their investment in fascism is having a branding problem.
    They have no intention of embarking on an ethical path, it’s the same problem they had in the UK. Some of their properties got extra caught, and they had to maneuver away from their disgraced slimeballs.
    In the US, Murdochs Inc is working up DeSantis as the next authoritarian.

    1. @Let’sgo Brandon inflation is a worldwide issue right now…try getting your news from other sources other than just Fox so you can make an intelligent comment!

  2. Republicans- Lets rally around a person that is under state and federal criminal investigations for president.

    1. @Rome not really son, just lived a long life and know better. You can have the last word……have at it, son.

    1. @Sandra C Ummm, literally the US economy is the world. We are the world bank, world police, world health care providers, etc etc. Sooooo, that dude has a factual point.

    2. @JERRY RICHARDSON what is wrong about supporting a person or value? Calling names is super childish and very CCP tactics

    1. Voters rarely remember anything that happened the day before they vote. Amazing civic education we have in America.

  3. You know what, I don’t care about “in private”. That’s the same shish I heard for four years about Republicans concerning trump and yet he planned and carried out an attempted coup. So I watch what you do IN PUBLIC.

    1. @Sir Lawrence O’ Trivia And here you are. CNN living in your brain rent free. Granted, the space and wattage of a Easy Bake oven, but free nonetheless 🤣

    2. @feldspar hoobyshoob all MSM you literally have to sift through the BS . Lol Journalism isnt what it use to be.

    1. I don’t think he’ll go to prison either but if convicted they will probably make it were he never can run for office again ever !!

    2. @sam Sammy That’s such a weak excuse! Nothing has happened to Trump, and we are certainly not happy and smiles! Come on! The guilty needs to be punished, or we must change our mantra to: “No one is above the law – except Donald Trump.”

  4. Since when is Lachlan Murdoch concerned about what is good or bad for this country? If he had a shred of ability to care about the US, he never would have backed Trump to start with!

    1. @Gwen Britton Unfortunately you are correct. It’s going to have to be up to the people to demand better curriculum from their school boards, governors and even the Federal Education Secretary, Miguel Cardona

    2. @Alannah , s I understand that too, but as of April 2021, Lachlan lived in Manhattan, in 2019 he had an estate in LA, so of course he had vested interest in American issues.

    3. If he was concerned about this country, he would shut down Fox and live off of his zillions of dollars for the rest of his life, and his kids lives, and their kids lives, and their kids lives after that. (If the planet survives, that is)

    4. @joyce roberts right now he literally lives less than 7km from me in Sydney. My point was, both Lachlan and Sarah chose to educate their children in Australia. They moved back to Aus in March 2021.
      Correct, he has business interests in America. However, he’s not interested in the best interests of American people nor the success of the US democracy.
      Btw, I think we’re on the same side of this 😉

    1. Why was it unprecedented? They had enough evidence for a judge to allow their request which suggests enough there for criminality to be apparent enough to gather more evidence. Unprecedented? They do it all the time, in nearly every case against criminals!

  5. The amount of power that one media company wields over one of the two political parties in America is fucking insane

    1. Only if you can’t think for yourself. You have to be able separate the rhetoric from fact. And not “Alternative facts” , but actual facts. You have to be able to think for yourself.

  6. Kind of tired of the conservatives only admitting the truth in private or when they are out of politics. None of them have the courage to stand up and make a difference when it actually counts.

    And no, Cheney waiting until after Jan 6 to stop fully supporting Trump does not count. It’s about 5 years too late.

  7. It should disqualify a person ASAP, like with any other job. Instead of the bar being higher as it should be, it’s made LOWER.
