What Big Moves Are Left for Lachlan Murdoch?
#Business #BusinessNews #BusinessFeatures #FoxCorp #NewsCorp
O Rupert Murdoch! Entertainer, king of the press
Your influence extended far beyond the rest
You wielded power enough to shape a world,
Instigating wars that would forever unfurl
The political career of Trump and the Brexit too
Your work helped shape what we all knew
Your career was unique, and undeniably destructive
So to mark your retirement, we raise a salute in respectful

🤖 Hi, there. Do you want to know who owns the sun? [...]
However, there is something else that is called The Sun, but it is not the same as the sun in the sky. The Sun is a newspaper that is printed and sold in the United Kingdom. It is a type of paper that has a lot of pictures, stories, and opinions about different things that happen in the world. Some people like to read it, and some people don’t...

Rupert Murdoch steps down: Chairman of Fox, News Corp resigns
Has anyone damaged western, English-speaking democracies over the last 20-odd years worse than Rupert Murdoch?
“the media mogul had created an “anger-tainment ecosystem” that had left the US “angrier and more divided than it’s been at any time since the civil war”.
[…] without Fox and News Corp, Britain probably would not have exited the European Union and Donald Trump would not have been president.”
#murdoch #journalism #democracy #brexit #trump #US #newscorp
@Strandjunker I agreed. Most people do, & I think people should act to thwart his empire. That's why I worked with #ColorOfChange & #AngeloCarusone to get advertisers to leave #GlennBeck's #FoxNews show.
The campaign cost #newscorp millions & led to Beck being fired. https://shadowproof.com/2010/05/12/rupert-and-me-i-question-the-newscorp-ceo-about-subsidizing-glenn-beck-5/
It didn't stop Murdoch, but it did show him corporate sponsors won't support race baiters like Beck. We also used this method on Tucker. If Lachlan Murdoch is like his dad, we need to act to thwart him too.
Now that #RupertMurdoch is leaving #NewsCorp & #Fox, do I need to start watching #Succession to see what happens next?
#TvSeries
Him leaving reminds me of the successful campaign with #ColorOfChange & #AngeloCarusone to get advertisers to leave the #GlennBeck show.
I asked #Rupert how long he was going to support the money losing show.
Beck was fired after this for lack of revenue after thia story.

News Corp profits dive 75% as Rupert Murdoch-owned company hints at AI future
Listen to the sound of those teeny tiny violins....
Dear lord he did the DNA review and gave credit to #newscorp for reporting it. This now questions the integrity of that review. I wonder if we are going to hear from #qldhealth minister tomorrow. #qldpol
"Non-disparagement" 😶
Wonder if Higgins spotted that little easter egg buried in 1pt Bodoni amongst the ten thousand pages of her NDA.
"The former Defence minister is also claiming Higgins breached a settlement contract entered in 2021 containing a non-disparagement clause that disallowed her from speaking negatively about Reynolds."
Email arrived just now from my 84 year old sister, lamenting a conversation with her two younger sisters who live in Tasmania - both comfortably well-off and living, you would correctly assume, totally wonderful lives in a beautiful little village near Hobart:
........................
"Thank you so much for some decent reading... especially after a dismal and disappointing phone chat with Lynne, in which I had to stomach the virtues of Little Winston, Scott Morrison, and the evils of The Voice.
"This was preceded by a chat with Kerrie about the wonderful Alan Jones and his views on The Voice!
"Oh, where of where did I come from to be placed in this family... I don't understand how I came to have such opposite values. What a mystery... certainly cuts out meaningful dialogue."
.......................
It would seem these two old biddies - my otherwise loving and sweet elder sisters and their NewsCorpse-induced hatred of The Voice - could do with a small history lesson about the former inhabitants of Van Diemen's Land.

Australia's least reliable news site.
Australia's biggest source of lies pretending to be news.
Australia's leading advertising arm of the RWCNJ LNP cvnts.
Australia's leading employer of stenographers pretending to be journalists whilst not having any writing skills.
Australia's only employer who tells all staff to leave their ethics at the door.

Another important risk from "bargaining codes" and link taxes is that they tend to favor the largest and/or most sensationalist news companies, who have the leverage to bargain for the highest sums. In Australia, #RupertMurdoch's #NewsCorp bargained for a sizable payment from the tech sector - but then it laid off its news workers. Merely transferring money to media giants doesn't mean an increase in investment in news.

I was on a panel last week talking about how I used financial leverage to fight RW media. I told the story about how I asked Rupert Murdoch how long he will be subsidizing the money losing Glenn Beck show. Rupert said he wasn't subsidizing it, but once the investors saw Beck was costing them money, not making them money they had him pushed off. Fox has adapted so they can survive without Ad revenue, but they STILL want it!

Fox News had zero chance of winning this lawsuit. By Fox settling, they admitted they lied. No mention of the settlement or the lawsuit on their website. Shocker. I do seriously question what actually will change and where accountability will be held. For now, however, I'll take this win over the right-wing propaganda machine.
Meanwhile, in #Australia, the #NewsBargainingCode stampeded tech giants into "voluntary" negotiations with the media companies, allowing #RupertMurdoch's #Newscorp to claim the lion's share, and then conduct layoffs across its newsrooms.
While in #France, the link tax depends on publishers integrating with #GoogleShowcase, a product that makes Google *more* money from news content and makes news publishers *more* dependent on Google:

6. "The government's own website HealthDirect promotes 'gender affirming care' and states that it is wrong for any health professional to try to change someone's gender or identity."
Healthdirect does indeed "promote[...] 'gender affirming care'". For example, it says at one point: "People with gender dysphoria need to get gtender affirming care." It seems pretty obvious and straightforward to say $PEOPLE_WITH_CONDITION need to get $TREATMENT_FOR_CONDITION. Not seeing a lot of objections to "If people's muscles hurt, they need to get Nurofen."
Healthdirect does indeed also state that "It is wrong for any health professional to try to change your gender or identity in any way." This is also very obviously unassailably true. Part of the impetus to #BanConversionTherapy was the strength of the argument that trying to change someone's identity is wrong even without considering direct observable material harm. This is because people have other human rights like autonomy and freedom of conscience, of which an attempt to forcibly psychologically modify them would deprive them even if they weren't otherwise harmed.
However, #ConversionTherapy *does* do harm; it consistently leaves its subjects with lifelong psychological trauma [1] [2]. Then again — many other therapies which are widely accepted in clinical practice also inflict harms, which are accepted because the benefits outweigh them; anyone who's been through chemo, or knows someone who's been through it, has witnessed this principle in action.
If we accept for some dickhead reason that changing someone else's gender is actually a beneficial thing to do, then are the harms of conversion therapy worth it to achieve that end? No, because conversion therapy doesn't actually do that. It has no demonstrated efficacy [3]. Conversion therapy can't be justified even in the terms in which its advocates claim to believe, *because it doesn't fucking work*.
#NewsCorp's careful misframing here implies that Healthdirect calling conversion therapy "wrong" is emotive and debatable. In reality, not only does conversion therapy have shitty ends, it can't achieve them; Healthdirect calling it "wrong" is as close to objectively correct as any statement about science can get.

On 27 November 2022, Brisbane's SUNDAY MAIL, an edition of #NewsCorp Australia's THE COURIER-MAIL, published an article, "Aussie doc: 'I see 300 trans patients a year'," by Julie Cross.
The article has #SeveralProblems. Here are a few. /1
Most #Victorians hold disdain for the Herald Sun, a notoriously conservative #Murdoch tabloid.
The paper is home for the racist, climate sceptic and all round terrible human being Andrew Bolt. In the past Bolt has lost defamation cases for playing fast and loose with the facts.
So yesterday the centrist Labor Party and centre left Greens won a thumping victory in the state #election. The ultra conservative Liberal party suffered a humiliating defeat - actually losing seats against a third term government.
It is a total rout and rejection by the greater voting public. A real bloodbath.
But from within the bubble of the conservative mindset, the victorious Victorian premier #DanAndrews was grievously "wounded" and he should "resign".
You see, Bolt can see into Andrew's heart: apparently the victorious third term Premier actually knows he should resign.
Copium much?
