James Murdoch resigns from News Corp, citing 'disagreements over certain editorial content'

https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/31/media...orp/index.html

James Murdoch, the youngest son of billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch, made a dramatic break from the family business on Friday.

He resigned from the board of directors of News Corp, the family's publishing empire, and said he was exiting the company over "disagreements over certain editorial content published" by its news outlets and "certain other strategic decisions."

James Murdoch, whose older brother Lachlan Murdoch serves as the CEO of Fox Corporation, had already left that side of the family business, partly due to his disgust of Fox "News".

Amazing that Rupert was able to produce one kid who isn't a sociopath...

Nice, but not enough for redemption. Need a tell-all book at least!

CNN kicks Trump adviser off air after he refuses to address Woodward revelations

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...d-b434297.html

The only way to handle the constant deflections and lying from this administration. They should have been doing this all along.

Sadly, Trumpkins get their "news" from the Faux opinion shows, which allow and encourage the lying.

I tuned in probably just after that interview started. As soon as I saw Navarro I changed channels. Whenever that slime starts talking everything after "I'm Peter Navarro" is a lie.

Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs to Be Deposed in Seth Rich Case
FAIR AND UNDER OATH
A new court filing says the Fox stars have agreed to answer questions on their role in spreading conspiracy theories about the murdered DNC staffer.

Fox News star Sean Hannity was once his network’s most prominent booster of conspiracy theories about murdered Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, only stopping the rumor-mongering after Rich’s grieving parents publicly begged him to knock it off.

Now, Hannity will have to answer questions, under oath, about Fox’s coverage of Rich’s death. Hannity, along with Fox Business host Lou Dobbs and a host of Fox staffers, is set to be deposed in late October over the network’s debunked reporting on Rich, which falsely claimed that he had leaked thousands of Democratic emails to WikiLeaks—a leak, they suggested, that led to his politically-motivated murder.

"Agreed" to answer questions!? They ought to be shackled and dragged to the depositions, then tried and convicted.

Hitler Youth group enlists teens in secretive campaign likened to a ‘troll farm,’ prompting rebuke by Facebook and Twitter

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...49c_story.html

One tweet claimed coronavirus numbers were intentionally inflated, adding, “It’s hard to know what to believe.” Another warned, “Don’t trust Dr. Fauci.”

A Facebook comment argued that mail-in ballots “will lead to fraud for this election,” while an Instagram comment amplified the erroneous claim that 28 million ballots went missing in the past four elections.

The messages have been emanating in recent months from the accounts of young people in Arizona seemingly expressing their own views — standing up for President Trump in a battleground state and echoing talking points from his reelection campaign.

Far from representing a genuine social media groundswell, however, the posts are the product of a sprawling yet secretive campaign that experts say evades the guardrails put in place by social media companies to limit online disinformation of the sort used by Russia during the 2016 campaign.

Teenagers, some of them minors, are being paid to pump out the messages at the direction of Turning Point Action, an affiliate of Turning Point USA, the prominent conservative youth organization based in Phoenix, according to four people with independent knowledge of the effort. Their descriptions were confirmed by detailed notes from relatives of one of the teenagers who recorded conversations with him about the efforts.
