in all of these multiple ways that people can get their news fox news very disturbing murdoch rupert murdoch has done great harm to this country yes he had roger ailes god rest his soul i want to address the idea that every time i'm told that he's the most transparent and assessable present. but you know he is anyone who's actually watched him listen to him or read his tweets either directly or in the news those yes anyone who has his or her eyes open has got him cold i'll tell you sam in the white house today there's very little humor that's why how can there be it's so grim and i don't remember it the same as when i 1st knew but there well i hope it gets that we can do this although you go to the name of the show is just ask the question will catch you next time. today is the nerd prom as they call the white house correspondents' association dinner right and i need to know why i am the last 3 years president trump hasn't shown up and this year he's banning any one of his staff from showing up as well. by the way and i'll hold it for. when that thing went down with you and you came out only

whatever he ate the been doing and when it comes to hiding history perhaps predictable because rupert murdoch is known as a republican that it was the sun that exposed the picture of the young queen in the queen mother giving nazi salutes you say probably at the behest of anybody it was there and the queen was about 7 or 8 so it was early thirty's so it was before the whole of the full horrors of naziism were apparent i don't of course you don't blame the queen for that she was a young girl she was 7 and she was with influential adults uncles and between mother was an adult was a time the queen mother was going into this is near to the queen is entirely instance of that is not her fault in fact i feel rather angry on queen's behalf. as you say already go but the queen mother jolly well knew didn't she she was not ot she knew what was going on and she gave a nazi salute now how would have appeared in the war we were told about the queen mother in a war histories b.-o. brushed she would take the stand and she showed her face and everything else how it eastern reacted had it in the photograph of

rupert murdoch was not very happy that you bought lucasfilm. what was his reaction? all of george's films. i don't if they ever thought about asking whether he wanted to sell. and i think he kicked himself, i know that he did. and he kicked his executives, right? he did. why did we not ever think of that? i don't know the why but they didn't. i want to talk about your biggest acquisition, of 21st century fox which was completed last year. why do you think murdoch wanted to sell? i think the primary reason is that he looked at what was going on in the world of media and all of the disruption and he did not believe the hand that they had was as strong as it needed to be. it is that simple and he did not have a solution. and selling was a solution because he could get at that time a good price for it. and in doing so pared down the size of the business that he kept which was fox news, the fox network and a few sports channels primarily, television stations. run that in a way that he could manage it but not be as exposed to basically a larger business that was not large

this mini series is a fictionalized version of the life of rupert murdoch and his family.hetic character in the entire cast, the creators have managed to make it compelling. it is michavielli on tv. >>> the answer to my question is c, iran. according fto facebook, the ey iranian trolls masqueraded as locals trying to manipulate everything from black lives matter to israeli settlements. but if you look at russia, they were responsible for that fourth network shut down by the social media giant last week. facebook warned that the russia campaign had the hallmarks of an operation using sophisticated security tactics. they racked up a quarter of a million followers across 50 instagram accounts. they warned that russia is doubling down on its cyber capabilities and its ability to conceal what it is doing. investigators revealed a complicated plot where hackers broke into a site called oil rig. hiding within the infrastructure, the russians could explore the hacked data and even deliver malware across unsuspecting victims in 35 countries, all while masquerading as original irani

. ♪ help buildkiernan fox, rising to become rupert murdoch's right-hand man as president and coo of newse leaving in 2009. the media mogul turned investor just raised an additional $700 million for the group. he sat down with our own ed hammond to discuss the latest fundraising round. >> we believe that our theational background, entrepreneurial background, because at this point, we started tons of companies ourselves, in addition to financial acumen, makes us unique as an investor and we think it makes us valuable. not only do we think we can help these companies build to superior economics and monetization, but we believe we can dig in and help them find a ceo, help them build the ideal product interface for consumers. help the market effectively and figure out the most effective ways to market. hope them increase quality of content. help them on e-commerce, etc. we believe this is absolutely right for us. we also believe it is right for the companies we invest in. i can't speak to other funds and what's right for them. therter: just looking at recent shareholder activity out this week

comfortable if the person deciding what constitutes real news versus fake news were not zuckerberg but rupert murdochit's not a fantasy. in 2005 news corp. bought myspace, then the leading social network on the planet. had things worked out differently, it would be murdoch or a band of fox news experts who would be determining what counts as legitimate political speech. are you still comfortable? broadcast networks cannot censor political ads. it's considered an infringement of free speech on large public platforms. cable companies like cnn are not regulated the same way and, thus, can make their own decisions. facebook, of course, is a larger platform than all the networks combined. it now serves as a sort of global public square and surely it should be open to political speech. the criticisms of facebook are varied and many are valid. it has been far too lax in allowing and even promoting incendiary messages that provoke violence in countries like myanmar and sri lanka. it snuffs out competition, a separate matter. many argue zuckerberg is being disingenuous when he says it's an open platform open

then we have an economic system, charles, that runs by people running large corporations like rupert murdochimon and like kuperman and a lot of these other people who really know how to run businesses, know how to make products efficiently, make customers want them. using resources well. i really don't want to let nancy pelosi run berkshire hathaway. thank you. i think i would like warren buffett to run it. charles: she says they're great at that thing. they're absolutely phenomenal at that but money these companies make, maybe it could be distributed in more balanced way. the ceo doesn't have to make 400, 500, 600 times the worker. it is resonating on main street. what do you say to someone who says maybe warren has a point? >> you know, maybe she does have a point. if you read this zuckman book, you sankey what they're saying. they say don't interfere with business and business response to incentives. you want to make sure these people don't lose it. once you allow these people to take over the economics of the world, you will lose all the benefits of capitalism as we have it. you will hav

now you're starting to see, indian cricket league, the biggest competitor to rupert murdoch was facebook the digital rights of the indian cricket league. when rupert did the last telecast talking about it, he mentioned that the biggest threat was facebook, twice when he talks about sports rights. i think you will see the time when apple, who has so much money right now, for them to spend $10 billion on nfl rights for a season is nothing. i think you're going to see someone like that in the next eight to 10 years, buy up something like the nfl, buy up something like the premier league -- connell: broadcasting rights, not a team or both? >> for broadcasting rights, yes. now it makes apple tv the same thing fox sports did in the '90s. everybody thought rupert murdoch over paid for baseball or the nfl. it was the best thing he did. it made fox sport. amazon and apple will do the same thing. when you do that, these teams like man city, like the dallas cowboys, like the new york giants are going to become worth exponentially more. connell: my team is horrible but it is worth so much, the knick

except this time it is a fox news moment, it is a rupert murdoch moment that breaks the tribalism at some point. >> that's a good point. are we in an age where sean hannity is walter cronkite and pause there and see if we can get some drinks. >> donald trump's support is a house of cards with three pill hears the aforementioned right wing media fox news in the center there and along with republican voters and republican lawmakers and as democrats navigate the early stages of impeachment, it's worth remembering it doesn't matter to donald trump's base how many facts they get corroborated, how many witnesses they question, or the narratives, the fact-based narratives that they lay out, for democrats to remove donald trump from office, they will need republican support. and that's why this new poll is drawing such attention this afternoon. because it speaks to one of those three base, one of those three pillars donald trump's approval among republicans still high but down to 74%. that's a drop of eight points since september. and while zero house republicans voted in favor of the impeac

the coalition when i was responsible for delivering tuition fees taking in picking a fight with rupert murdochme we have left and i start with vince this time. it's been called a brexit election. clearly, all of the parties have very valid things to say about other areas of policy. people have other concerns apart from brexit. a lot of people are fed up with brexit. do you see this campaign is being inevitably dragged into a brexit debate at the costs of not talking properly about schools and hospitals? is that how it is going to go? well, it is a brexit election and hopefully, it will help take the issue forward. in my case, we want to stop brexit. but government wants to deliver it but unless we find a resolution to that through the election, then it would have been a waste. but of course we have been a waste. but of course we have got other things to talk about and my party is talking about mental health and the role we have played in promoting that within the nhs. the other issues will want to surface but there is a difference of interest here and on the conservatives and liberal democrats

why do you think rupert murdoch wanted to sell? hand that they had was a strong as it needed to be. it's that simple, and he didn't have a solution. but what are the underlying trends reshaping the media industry which makes those sort of mega—acquisitions necessary? well, i think if you look at today's media landscape, whether you are in the uk or the united states, or in many other places in the world, first of all, it starts with content. content is king. quality stands really tall in a sea of choice. and then secondly, get content that is so valuable, so important, so loved by consumers, that they'll access it or buy it almost any way they possibly can. it was rival netflix that pioneered streaming, which allows you to watch what you want, when you want. in the time that i've been on the throne, what have i actually achieved? # for the times, they are a—changin'... apple tv+ launched in london today, with hollywood stars jennifer aniston and reese witherspoon promoting its biggest production. this winter, several technology gia

by the way, him selling it to rupert murdoch, not going to happen they're way smaller.ou got the media part of the business you have the more important cash flow part of the business, which is the data and the machines but who is large enough to buy a $50 billion asset is a real question. >> black stone bought the thompson reuters business. >> they immediately almost flipped it to the -- >> appetite for that type of -- >> that was a much smaller deal. that's a huge deal i don't know, but i think if in fact he moves along, and it really becomes a question as to whether he's going to truly try to actually sell that business, which, by the way, is completely unclear at this point, i think it will be very interesting to see private equity really could step up or whether they need to go a different route in some fashion and split it. >> we got m&a, the data, and some guidedowns today. deere down in the premarket, despite better than expected results, company forecasts weaker equipment sales than fiscal 20. says deere has been hurt by uncertainties in the agricultural sector.

a few years ago, there was a moment when rupert murdoch and others managed to win the case for cableompanies paying broadcast tv channels fees for their appearance on cable networks because of the value the broadcast networks in those days were bringing to cable. and i think the major platforms, digital platforms are beginning to recognize that the presence of really high-quality news brands like "the new york times," "the wall street journal" and so on makes a real difference to today's users, and whether that is expressed in license fees like this license fee which facebook is going to pass the next few years, whether it's expressed in other ways, i think both the power balance, we'll say the value balance between the silicon valley majors and publishers like "the times" is changing i think it's strategically quite an important day. >> do you have a feeling, mark, of what you expect over the long term revenue per article to be via facebook versus directly via your own digital subscription app? >> sure, wilf. i want to say our thesis is the overwhelming majority of revenue for "the

. >> it was presumed to be complete and rupert murdoch having disrupted the newspaper business and televisiontwork. it was a big, bold bet. >> meantime, he will have to become an american citizen if he is to own tv stations here. something he says he is willing to do. >> some people are saying it will take you 20 years to get your fox network on par with the big three. are you prepared to wait that long? >> sure, i intend to live that long, but i don't believe in the 20 years. >> the reaction to murdock's idea for a fourth network was like ted turner starting cnn. it's ridiculous. what does he know about television? >> we don't have to reach everyone. there's no question we have an inferior lineup of stations to our counterparts. it means we have to work harder to get our message across and get shows sampled. >> they had an idea that in order to succeed, we have to differentiate ourselves from the networks. we have to do things they would not do. >> fox started throwing anything against the wall not sure what was going to go. first shows were things like "21 jumpstreet." >> what exactly are w

host: you and your colleague pointed out that it was owned by rupert murdoch.st: it gave the support and authority to go ahead. behind the 100% expose by all accounts. host: you are reporting because of the new information that has come out from the state department, about the state department's action. the right, 40 years after congress reported its conclusions, the investigative record provides a trove of fresh insights that cast the state department's actions in a harsher light. after the deaths, u.s. diplomats to plan ash defendant how they would handle questions saying that they had tried to respect privacy laws protecting americans abroad and avoid interfering in issues. a mass suicide threats seemed extraordinarily far-fetched -- the mass suicide threats seemed extraordinarily far-fetched. what should have been the reaction? guest: a forceful intervention. they should have found out that americans were being held overseas. the state department had six months to oversee jonestown. that is a long time, a few months shy of the american -- of the united stat

only this time it's a fox news moment, a rupert murdoch moment that breaks it at some moment. >> because it normalizes. >> but i am saying until more people at fox news confront the constitutional crisis that we have in front of us, confront the fact that a president of the united states has decided to twist u.s. foreign policy for the purposes of digging up dirt on a domestic political opponent, that tribalism continues. >> that's a really good point. are we in an age where sean hannity is walter cronkite? let's get some drinks to see if we can get through that. it's an interesting test. you know, i think jim's got the data, he's got the numbers. it's like when earl long once said, what are you going to do now, the feds have the bomb. vandehei's got the data. i will say if we had been having this conversation a hundred years ago, almost exactly 1990 teen we would be in the middle of clan fervor, two to 6 million americans joined the klan. the 1924 democratic national convention had 347 klan delegates, they went to 103 -- because they wouldn't vote for the irish governor of new york beca

rupert murddoch wanted to stop trump. it famously leaked before the first fox news debate that recuperate murdoch had called over and said this has gone on long enough. that was supposed to shut trump down and instead poll after poll after poll he won. why? because of immigration. (applause) >> but the story of the trump years is the story of the party that wins more and more of less and less. it's true that fox news and talk radio have consolidated behind the trump approach, but they are an ever dwindling part of america. the way this kind of change, a reknitting of the civic compact, strengthening bonds between citizens would ever happen, the way you would get social permission, the national civic permission to enforce the law and to taper off the flow of numbers to a more sustainable level, which is not zero, by the way. immigration is not a binary issue, it's a matter of more or less and who and what kind and in what order! the way you get that is with a law that is going to as daniel said about healthcare will pass the senate 70-30 or it won't pass at all. the trump method, which is about self-seeking always, is abo
