Rupert Murdoch on the other hand is quite possibly the biggest piece of shit in the entire world outsides of dictators, the tailban , etc.
You should read how he meddled in UK politics and played king maker

I can't wait until he dies
- justatdotin 4y agoAs of 12/19/2022 he is very much alive.(https://isrupertmurdochdead.com/ https://isrupertmurdochdead.com/)
- LawTalkingGuy 4y agoI assume you hate everyone who worked at Twitter on the "Trust and Safety" team, the FBI, mainstream media outlets, etc, and want them to die as well? They meddled in USA politics to throw the presidential election.

- xcrunner529 4y agoBecause they took down dick pics? I assume you’re very mad at Russia too?
- alvah 4y agoYeah dick pics are definitely all that was happening with the Hunter Biden / NY Post saga. Would you like to buy this bridge I have for sale?
- themitigating 4y agoDo you have any evidence or is this like the widespread election fraud lies?
- alvah 4y agoDo I have any evidence? What, are you a policeman? If you truly believe it was just about dick pics, let’s sort out a price for that bridge. NFI why you’re on about election fraud, you’ll have to show me where I made any claims about that.
- xcrunner529 4y agoI’ve found anyone that uses the “bridge to sell you” line doesn’t have any actual evidence for what they believe except it “feels right”.
- alvah 4y agoGood for you. I haven’t seen any evidence for the “it was only dick pics, definitely nothing else” theory, I assume you have some?
- themitigating 4y agoSo you want evidence to prove something didn't happen? How are you on Hackernews?
- alvah 4y agoIf this is your level of understanding of logic, reason, and debate, how are you even able to tie your own shoelaces?

- LawTalkingGuy 4y agoThey conspired to hide a leak that they thought would tip the election. Not that the leak was only dick pics, but if dick pics were enough to tip the election wouldn't that still be a valid expression of voter will? > I assume you’re very mad at Russia too? But, but, whatabout the other guys! No, because I don't have a reason to trust Putin or the Russians, and neither do US citizens. But they do have a reason, and a right, to trust their elected officials.
- xcrunner529 4y agoThe “twitter files” links has the Biden campaign reporting dick pics. We can actually view the links mentioned via the Internet Archive. Oops. And no they don’t have a right for something illegal (revenge porn, unconcent) and the company certainly has their own right to censor how they want and choose who they listen to. The Russian thing was about the actual facts about Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election and if you were crowing about that influence too.
- LawTalkingGuy 4y agoTwitter blocked the NYPost and any DMs containing links to the article based on the set of advice you summarize as "reporting links to dick pics". The emails are probably the most politically relevant, and possibly damaging, as they contain possible evidence of corrupt dealing.
- xcrunner529 4y agoSource? Be specific. I’ve only seen links reported that were dick pics.
- LawTalkingGuy 4y agoSource that the FBI/Dems/etc only sent dick-pic links to be censored, or proof that the laptop leak contained more than dick pics? Earlier in this thread you made a claim that the leak was only dick pics, have you read a source which claimed that, or is it only that you haven't seen a source talk about anything else? There're these, many of which are verified: https://bidenlaptopemails.com/ https://bidenlaptopemails.com/ I don't know the entire contents but it is certainly more than just dick pics. I've heard someone discuss using the dates in those to corroborate other stories which means they aren't just salacious either.
- rnk 4y agoSo dems would not have come out to vote if Biden's drug addicted son has naked pics of himself on his laptop? I don't see that changing things.
- LawTalkingGuy 4y agoThey did, or they wouldn't have spent so much time hiding it.
- rnk 4y agoOr maybe your view of the impact should be revisited.
- LawTalkingGuy 4y agoThe democrats obviously believed the story would be impactful or they wouldn't have spent time blocking it. This isn't a partisan viewpoint. I'm not in the USA or attached to either party.
- kapildev 4y agoAs someone who reads Washington Post, NYTimes and WSJ daily, I too find their (WSJ's) reports trust worthy and accept the facts presented without too much fact-cheking. However, the editorial board and the opinion section are where Murdoch's influences reflect. The facts presented there are mostly murky and sometimes half-truths. I even found some "facts" that were out-right wrong and intentionally so.
