Rupert Murdoch announced that he is resigning from Fox Corp and News Corp. So what? I suppose I can feel some hope and joy that such a toxic influence on the world is resigning but I am not so sure.
As long as the right-wing extremist audience demands to be lied to and given fascist incendiaries, others will fill the void. Witness the deaths of the execrable Rush Limbaugh and Roger Ailes. Others filled the void. Witness Fox News trying to say that the Orange One lost the election - they immediately course corrected and knowingly and deliberately lied saying that the big pumpkin won - in a landslide - in order to stop a sudden drop in ratings.
The fact that they lied deliberately was proven in court by Dominion Voting to the tune of $787.5 Million. It was a business decision to lie. They still lie.
Good for ratings doncha know? And ratings ratings ratings and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ is all that counts doncha know?
So, even if the extremist son Lachlan Murdoch fails to save Fox News, the lies will be picked up by other odiferous propaganda machines, and the country will continue to be bombarded with shit.
One down. A few million to go.....
