The "Conservative Tribune" wants to boycott a company that sells expensive men's pockets.

...“Invariably people say FOXNews (sic, again)” (click here)

“I laugh to myself, and tell them that we primarily advertise on Fox because we find their viewership to be extremely gullible and much easier to sell than (sic, yet again) other networks.”

I find the honesty of the CEO refreshing. Rupert Murdoch has spanned continents using fear and commonality as the basis of media that has caused chaos because there are so many lies laced in with the information content.

Murdoch has scandalized the UK, with exploits that were too personal and about a handicapped child of Former Prime Minister Brown. Murdoch has practically ended healthy competition in Australia's news media market. Local news outside of Murdoch's empire does succeed in some Aussie cities with some degree of success, but, the Murdoch dynasty has harnessed politics in his favor for decades now.

If one analyzes the effect of Rupert Murdoch across the free world it is one of scandal and assault on sound government values. Murdoch never cared about good government, he cared about personal power.

All of Murdoch's political successes are laced with the ability to scandalize any subject in a second of time. Yes, even Donny Trump.

There are statistics grossly ignored by research journalism. "How many officials in the free world are elected due to the Murdoch media dynasty?" How can a single media mogul render such power in countries around the world? 

Murdoch has a monoploy on power. That is as much an anti-trust issue as any other.
