People are noticing the appallingly cynical exploitation of the Holocaust. Not the Right Wing Press though, they'd love to exploit a genocide until it's lost all meaning, makes further genocides easier.

#Isreal #TalkTV #RupertMurdoch

Former Labour adviser James Schneider voiced his concerns over the use of 
 Holocaust imagery in discussions related to the Israel-Hamas conflict, asserting 
 that the "safety and security" of Jewish people is "not contingent" on escalating 
 violence in the region. 
 Clashing with TalkTV's Jeremy Kyle on Tuesday, Schneider was drawn into a 
 heated debate after emphasising the importance of factual accuracy and the 
 implications of language used in public discourse.

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

I wish I could celebrate news of the departure of the single most malign influence in English-speaking democracy, Rupert Murdoch, but I fear Fox will only be worse under son Lachlan & that this is a means to solidify his power before Dad's death.

These attacks are worth reading, if only to see how flimsy and frivolous they are. One major subgenre is that Khan shouldn't be bringing any action against Amazon, because her groundbreaking scholarship about the company means she has a conflict of interest.

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.

Quite right. The best practicable result was for a bruised #RupertMurdoch to retreat some way incurring substantial losses in the process much as he was forced to in the #UK in July 2011. If that experience is anything to go by we can expect further repercussions within the #Murdoch empire - most likely affecting the role of the son involved.
