A comment from Australia's previous Prime Minister on Murdock's newspapers, who lead a government on the right https://theconversation.com/e-136746 https://theconversation.com/e-136746:
> News Corp “I think was well described as ‘a political organisation that employs a lot of journalists’”; The Australian “defends its friends, it attacks its enemies, it attacks its friends’ enemies, and the tabloids do the same.”
And we also have this comment from https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/apr/16/malcolm-turnbull-news-corp-is-like-a-political-party-with-the-murdochs-encouraging-intolerance https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/apr/16/malco... :
> Turnbull says his fatal flaw, according to media barons, was not that he was “too liberal” but his lack of deference and his personal wealth, because all the billionaires liked a politician who depended on them.
That last statement has all the hallmarks of a conspiracy theory - no evidence, and so appealing to the intellect.
