Murdoch and his role in the Trump Presidency

Former prime minister Kevin Rudd dissects Rupert Murdoch’s role in creating the Trump presidency. “Donald Trump may have lit the match that detonated his country’s turmoil but it was Rupert Murdoch who diligently crammed the joint full of explosives.”

“Murdoch’s systematic manipulation of American politics at large and the Republican Party in particular should ring alarm bells throughout our nation as well.”

James Murdoch resigned in disgust, saying that New Corporation was in the business of legitimising disinformation. “Yet not a word of James Murdoch’s withering critique was carried in any of Rupert Murdoch-owned Australian media outlets.”
