they did so despite rupert murdoch, whose global media empire got it, start in australia, in the 1006 through newspapers that made their bed with the mining say, a steady source of ad revenue. roughly 60 percent of the country's media space is controlled by murdock. news outlets that had a clear agenda in this election, demanding a policy of inaction on the client. the murder of press were trying to paint anyone who pushed climate change as far left greeny describe a woman which is getting very dangerous, trying to link them together when a cabal scheming against the government and wanting this green left agenda, which apparently did support climate change it made them seem hysterical on something that really is a mainstream issue of major concern for almost everyone in the next 0 by 2050 is not enough for those climate zealots. but i actually think that we can do things in this country to change our weather. and that is so scientifically claude, and full of delusion. if not funny, the election is a loss. the ned office can watch the sky news, the main tv station known by murdock ther

over the weekend, two rupert murdoch owned newspapers took on the former president trump for his rolejanuary 6 insurrection. the "wall street journal" editor ol board writes in part, the president spread falsehoods about the election. he invited supporters to washington on january 6th, tweeting on december 19th that it will be wild. he riled up the crowd and urged this to march on the capitol. after the violence began, he dotaled. instead of sending help. he beared responsibility for the mayhem but inspiring followers to march is not the same as leading a criminal conspiracy. meanwhile, a similar op-ed in the new york post, trump can't admit his tweeting and narcism turned off millions. he won't stop insisting that the 2020 election was stolen eve though he suffered no proof that it is true. respected officials like former attorney bill barr call his rants nonsense. this is not just about liz cheney. betsy devos and mark meadows knew trump as illusional. and his daughter and son-in-law testified it was bull. we are seeing republicans try to distance themselves from the former presiden

could be 55-year-old rupert murdoch.be three broadcast networks. he says i'm going to make another broadcast network. >> 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 murdoch'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, 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 thi

ails launched fox news in 1996 with rupert murdoch, the goal was to create a tv network that served ase unspoken goal, served as an arm to the republican party under the guise of news. 20 years after creating fox, the propaganda dream was fully realize with the election of donald j trump. fox served as basic state run tv, the trump administration moving heaven and earth to shield him from his mini scandals. take it for me, listen to fox's own geraldo rivera saying the same thing on air. >> nixon never would've been forced to resign if you existed in your current state back in 1972, 73, 70. for the difference between donald j trump and richard nixon. >> ails resign from fox in disgrace in 2016 after facing allegations for sexual harassment, he passed away in 2017. but his dream is alive and well in fox news, nothing else matters but except -- spreading misinformation. it's why they wouldn't even live broadcast the first public hearing from the january six committee on thursday night. in fact they were still afraid of having their viewers see or hear the truth about what happened on 16,

i also wanted to get your thoughts on the new york post, owned by republican kingmaker rupert murdoch, owns fox news, "wall street journal," they published an op-ed calling the committee a partisan ad, though it is actually a bipartisan committee, but the piece goes on to say that the former president continues to cling on to fantasies about the 2020 election, and that it is time for the party to move on. i'm wondering what you made of that op-ed from a murdoch paper, one of your hometown papers. >> well, look, it is something that supporters of donald trump have said to him over and over again, it is time to move on, it is time to move forward. the one thing we know about donald trump, he's not going to move forward. he's not going to let it go. because this republican party has already surrendered all of its principles, and assigned to donald trump, then, you know, to put out an editorial and say, well, you know, you're in fantasy land, mr. ex-president, well, that's great. but he's got the power. he's got control of the party. he's the odds on favorite to be the next republican nom

rupert murdoch, of course, has outside influence in england and latchland appears to be on board with of fox news, and i try to be as precise as possible here. there's some stuff on fox that relates to news and discussion and opinion, and then there's tucker carlson pushing right wing french anti-semitic replacement theory which is really something else. reading from some of the coverage, latchland murdoch gave carlson the green light to promote the conspiracy theories. anyone not comfortable with that has already left is this a new chapter or the same old murdochs? >> it's the same old fur dock. there is a chapter in my book called "snoopers" which chronicles what the murdoch press did to the royals, and it's really -- it's deeply shock when you read it, and it does explain why prince harry is so bitter because they hacked him. they stalked him. they told lies about him. it was just brutal essentially what they did to the young prince hair we he was just a teenager essentially, and it scarred them. it wasn't only the murdoch press, but they were by far the worst perpetrators of what

almost all the time was not good enough for trump, and as it turns out was not good enough for rupert murdoch who, when the dust cleared after the election, fired everyone involved in making the right call on election night that joe biden won in arizona. after chris stewart wall called arizona for joe biden, just before midnight on the east coast on election night, the campaign professionals on the trump team never had another moment of optimism. >> there is suggestions by, i believe it was giuliani. >> it was far too early to be making any calls like that. ballots, ballots were still being counted, ballots were still being counted for days. it was far too early to be making any things like that. >> a drunk rudy giuliani had a different idea. >> president trump rejected the results on campaign night. instead, he followed the course recommended by and apparently inebriated to giuliani. he claimed that he won. he insisted that the vote counting stopped to falsely claim everything was fraudulent. he falsely told the american people that the election was not legitimate, in his words quote, a majo

rupert murdoch's wall street journal basically said donald stuck in 2020, let him stay there. as for donald himself, i don't know that he'd pay too much attention to outside factors because so often they contradict what he needs to believe. i think that his running was always conditional upon how much trouble he isn't. if he is not held accountable, really soon. i don't just mean from the january six committee from the doj, but from the various lawsuits he's in, from that investigation in georgia, et cetera. then he will have so much incentive to run again because that maybe they on the way for him to protect himself from legal trouble. both criminal and civil. >> in terms of what he pays attention to, it would appear that he was paying attention to thursday night primetime won six hearing, because it was posted on his own social network, right? so, invasion if you will him down in mar-a-lago, watching this. on presumably a big screen tv. what did that look like? was he throwing things of the tv? was a turning beach ran? was he scribbling down notes? how do you envision he wat

an editorial in rupert murdoch's conservative "wall street journal" cited "the beat" and claimed criticsously wailing at elon musk and that the critics must oppose free speech, because the guy smiling on your screen is about free speech, says "the journal," which is supposed to know about money. that aged poorly. it was dumb then. sorry, but it was. it's wrong now. what's actually hilarious is taking musk at his word like "the journal" did. didn't work out. more like all these right wing republicans and twitter trolls did because they thought musk would do what he said, that he had so much money that he didn't have to worry about money and he would use his money and power to help them, help trump get back on the platform in time for the next election. to paraphrase kendrick lamar, you might look up to elon, but he is not your savior. now in other parts of the right wing some of that blind cheering has turned into a kind of skepticism. we're going to show you then and now, the evolution as musk has shown his colors again. >> for once, this isn't about power and money. musk is doing it to

stalwarts testimony comes as the editorial boards of two papers owned by foxes rupert murdoch publishedop-eds against trump after the first january six hearing. ironically, fox news is the only major news network who refused to air the first january six hearing. for more weakening here tomorrow we are joined by political correspondent betsy woodruff saw an msnbc political and -- juanita tolliver. juanita i want to start with you. it does appear that the big focus tomorrow will be on the big lie. you know, the idea that there was this joint coordination between trump and media outlets like fox news to push this concept. why do you think this angle is so important to the 16 committee? does it make sense to have this be the focus after we've heard in the first hearing? >> it is a key priority for the hearing because part of the case that they are making or they are trying to make is rather than simply being duped by bad actors surrounding him, trump himself had noon he lost the election but was still telling ally on purpose. they believe that that argument being able to make that case, is

trump's son-in-law, karen kushner, called fox's own rupert murdoch, demanding that the network would attract the call. it did not. trump supporters, who did not want to hear that their guy lost, they started tuning out. they turned to competitors, to the right, like one america news and newsmax. organizations that were more than willing to push trump's big lie of a stolen election, no matter how preposterous the theories to support. and for the first time, in its life, basically, fox faced a real challenge from its right. because you know what? its viewers did not want to hear that joe biden won the election. they want to hear from conspiracy theorists spouting outlandish excuses for how the election was stolen. trump himself wanted to hear the same thing, of course. he began touting foxes competitors. in december 2020, a few weeks after the major outlets called the election for biden, fox news even lost in the ratings to newsmax. to newsmax! for the first time ever. let me tell you something. i know a thing or two about this business. that seemed to really spook fox. and i mean real

rupert murdoch has done worse in countries in europe than we've seen others do. in florida after the shooting in parkland, they passed laws in florida, raising the assault weapons age from 18 to 21. red flag laws, some other things. none of those republicans paid a price in their primaries. so we should not let them off easy. this is largely supported not just by republicans but by gun owners. and i think is that kind of rhetoric is so scary, ari, because i do think it is not subtle the signals being sent that democrats are not ruling legitimately, that you should spock pile more guns. we've got the threat of democracy falling apart, health care, women's rights to abortion and now this issue. they're all connected and it couldn't be more scary. but i think democrats, starting with the president tonight, need to keep pushing. i'm really glad to see the january 6th hearings finally going prime time. but i think these issues -- inflation at some point will recede. it's not permanent. the pandemic is going to recede. it's not permanent. knock on wood. but these thing

again, i want to repeat this advice, "the wall street journal" is owned by rupert murdoch. street journal" has great reporters that do their job. there's a wall between news and editorial over there still. if you can't trust anybody else, read "the wall street journal" to get your facts. and you'll find out that most of the bs that you're sending around, they're lies. >> but it's even within the structure of these organizations. like, for example, you have "the wall street journal." and you also have fox news which didn't even cover the hearings. they had joe biden falling off his bike on a loop, as you pointed out but in the beginning they didn't -- >> well, i think they're starting to cover them now. >> they are. >> which is great. >> that's interesting. that is good. >> again, we're all about -- we're all about conversion. we're all about conversion. >> all right. >> whenever you come into the vineyard to start working, god bless you. work for the truth. >>> let's get back to yesterday's hearing, number four on the attack on the capitol. georgia secretary of state brad r

the media tycoon rupert murdoch and actressjerry hall are getting a divorce, according to reports inheir split comes as a surprise to those close to the family, according to the new york times. that newspaper and the washington post cited anonymous sources with knowledge of the separation. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol. lots of things taking place over the next few days. we have been talking about glastonbury of course. as the weather looking? mixed is a good way of describing it. good morning everybody. we are looking at sunshine and showers today. some of them will be heavy and thundery. we have already got them in the south—east, pushing northwards through the course of the day. but because they are showers, not all of us will see them. a bit more cloud at times across the northern west of scotland and northern ireland. two should see some brightness. up to 28, possibly 29 degrees but widely, we are looking at 13 to 26. through this evening and overnight, the showers continue to migrate northwards. they will be heavy and thundery in places. some patchy mist an

so much so that we have reported that jared kushner had called rupert murdoch directly to tell -- they were so angry, to tell them to stop calling states. so, the relationship -- >> that's so hideous and inappropriate. >> just keep in mind, this is the same jared kushner who says to his friends that the day before election day, he told his wife in the middle of the night, according to "the new york times," it's time to go to miami, it's over. we know that it's lost. the same jared kushner is calling to roll back an arizona call that he probably at that point knew -- >> his father-in-law was breathing down his neck. >> jared kushner is known to play three lanes on a two-lane highway. that's what he does. the record supports it. the key here is chris made the right call. it was bold of fox news. election night we were having conversations. mathematically, it was defensible. given the bush/gore history of 2000. we're much more conservative at cnn. that's just our policy. but it was a good call but it was a risky call. but a propagandist needs an echo chamber. that's what fox news was to d

let me tell you about rupert hur d mur murdoch, i think you know it, he's after the cash, the money.t system except for the injuries it can sometimes do to people. but he uses fox and "the wall street journal" and his must bely indi-- publications to mak money. remember when fox had a big problem on election night. it called arizona for biden before any other news organization and what fox discovered was its viewers were agonized, angry, how dare you do that to our man, donald j. trump, surely he won arizona, he didn't. but fox lost viewers. it learned its lesson. if it wants to make money it has to have sean hannity, tucker carlson. carlson can say that putin's invasion of ukraine has some justification. and his viewers like that and murdoch likes the money it brings him. >> i have to ask you as someone who covered watergate and i know you found the hearings to be totally compelling back in those days they had a very large impact on the american people and shaping public opinion in terms of how the public felt about richard nixon at that time. given that knowledge that you have, tha

dominion's arguments support a reasonable imprint that rupert and lachlan murdoch manipulated the electiony disregarded the truth when they allegedly caused fox news to propagate claims about dominion. it is the latest win for defamation lawsuits against maga media's rules. the same judge upheld dominion's lawsuit against news max. a d.c. judge upheld maddox, harry litman, your reaction? >> so much going on and it's just a titanic battle in the country between truth and fiction or truth and lies. by and large the courts have done a pretty good job. not perfect, but pretty good. so what you have here is the court saying, look, whether it was for political patronage or money, murdoch made this decision and he knew it was false because he told trump that trump had lost. so it was brazen in the same way that other lies this we've been seeing, giuliani and the like were brazen and this is the big stage in a lawsuit, nicole. typically after this fox can't go to a jury and it will be hundreds of millions anyway. same thing in another case that was in a much earlier stage and they said it can proc
