Fighting Fake News with REAL; 25/2/22 Murdoch's Fox News is the New Russian State Media in America, GOP is Redder than Red; Morrison punishes 25 Russians not a word on Murdoch; Truth in Humor;

 

 

 

In recent days, as Putin has threatened a conflagration, top conservatives and GOP officials have practically pinned “I’m-with-Vlad buttons” onto their lapels. One example: Mike Pompeo, Trump’s final secretary of state and before that his CIA director, had only praise for the corrupt Russian autocrat, describing him as “talented” and “savvy.” Donald Trump, speaking to a conservative podcaster on Tuesday, hailed Putin’s moves in Ukraine as “genius.” Referring to Putin’s invasion of eastern Ukraine, Trump said, “Putin declares a big portion of…of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful…I said, ‘How smart is that?’ And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper…Here’s a guy who’s very savvy.” Later in the interview, Trump continued to gush: “I knew Putin very well. I got along with him great. He liked me. I liked him. I mean, you know, he’s a tough cookie, got a lot of the great charm and a lot of pride. But the way he—and he loves his country, you know? He loves his country.”

Morrison's response a ban on 25 Russians coming to Australia. Meanwhile Murdoch who is Australia's biggest private media distributor and L-NP propagandist  is supporting Putin's Russian invasion of the Ukraine. Fox News'Ingrham was providing Donald Trump a media platform while the Ukraine was addressing the world about the Russian invasion. Tucker Carlson was central to the Murdochian love-fest for Putin spending millions apologising for Putin. Morrison has made no mention that his media master actually supports what he "claims" he doesn't. Not a peep from Morrison about Murdoch whose currently Russian State Media in America.

 Morrison's response "a ban on 25 Russians" from coming to Australia, but nevertheless an opportunity for a photo-shoot with ruffled hair, an appropriate panicked appearance and urgent statement as if he was shirt-fronting Putin. 

What is significant is that Murdoch's Fox News which is promoting Putin, providing space to Donald Trump to cheer Putin on rather than reporting what's actually happening and Scott Morrison is ignoring any action that might annoy his media master. Not a word of criticism coming from the Australian Government on what Australia's largest media owner is doing. Not a single complaint or sanction he's applying against 25 Russians who haven't the influence on us that Murdoch has.

Putin’s antagonism toward Ukraine was never just about NATO – it’s about creating a new Russian empire

 

ON FOX NEWS SUPPORTS PUTIN- MORRISON SPENDS LNP MONEY ADVERTISING WITH MURDOCH AND ACTS TOUGH BANNING 25 RUSSIANS

More than a year after he left office, Donald Trump continues to be obsessed with his loss to President Joe Biden, pushing the lie that the election was rigged against him. And on Wednesday night, the former president’s delusions were on full display on Fox News, when he traced Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine back to the 2020 presidential election. Advertisement “He sees the weakness and stupidity of this administration,” Trump said of the Russian president. “As an American, I am angry and saddened. It happened because of a rigged election.” Trump doesn’t seem all that sad. He couldn’t help but express admiration for Putin in a speech Wednesday at Mar-a-Lago, saying, “I mean, he’s taking over a country for $2 worth of sanctions. I’d say that’s pretty smart.” Trump also said that “never in a million years” would such an invasion have happened during his presidency. He couldn’t help but boast of Putin, “I know him very well.” His comments Wednesday are similar to ones he made in a radio interview Tuesday, when he again called the Russian leader “smart.”
