Fighting Fake News with REAL 28/8/22; One Tel; Network Ten; The Shot, Andrew Bloody Bolt; Shane Dowling; The Kangaroo Court,

 

 

Lachlan Murdoch’s business record in Australia hasn’t been all that great. One Tel springs to mind “At the time, Mr Packer and Mr Murdoch, who had lost $1 billion invested by family vehicles PBL and News Corp, said they had been misled about One.Tel’s financial position.

Then came Network Ten is One.Tel Mark II – AFR For a second time he and Packer bet and lost millions on a looks-like-blue-sky business opportunity

Why does Lachlan Murdoch, a Philosophy major, believe his reputation will be improved by this legal action against Crikey?

Millions of dollars in legal costs are expected to be spent as News Corp co-chairman and Fox Corporation chief executive Lachlan Murdoch, eldest son of media baron Rupert, sues a comparative minnow in Australia, Crikey, for defamation over a June 29 article.

Lachlan Murdoch v Crikey: How a US Capitol article with 804 words could cost an Australian publication millions

 

 

 May be an image of 1 person and text that says 'Herald Sun Toxic Tame shows grace is no longer a virtue I never expected class from Grace Tame. She was too young and thoughtless to handle being Australian of the Year. No, the real problem with her pathetic rudeness to Scott Morrison is that it was cheered by so many people- especially women. Time we talked about toxic femininity. Andrew Bolt'

 

Remember when Andrew Bolt bragged.Puffed up like a toad he claimed to be cool " I worked as a minder for a belly dancer". He  was threatened with a law suit unless he corrected his Walter Mitty fantasy. Bolt backed down and very quickly apologized publicly to his then denied ex-fiance who was supporting him. He apologized to his wife as well for his toxic male bullshit.He had omitted telling her the truth as well claiming he was "protecting" her. It seems Bolt's history wasn't what he made it out to be.
For years he made out he was educated at Adelaide uni when he actually he only did first year there. That was eventually corrected and taken down off his Wiki CV. We never did find out whether he passed or failed that year when he simply didn't fit in.
 What about the time he had that stoush with Miranda Devine on air about who was running Steve what his name's show on 2GB. Bolt was quickly put back in his box for claiming that she was the guest on his show when it turned out he was always the guest. It was a Sydney show.
 Not long after he quit or was dropped by 2GB, who knows, only to set up his own podcast with his son Dom to egotistically show us the depth of his popularity and his independance. It lasted 5 episodes I think.
Yes, Bolt's had a broad appeal, in his own mind, stellar career all of it subsidized by the Murdoch's.  In the forever failing Australian branch of their global empire.
 
Andrew Bolt is incensed (From Peter Murphy on Twitter)
Angry misogynist Andrew Bolt attacks Grace Tame for daring to criticise bullyboy Scott Morrison, and everyone else (but esp. women) who did so too.
Andrew Bolt wants to head back to the 1950s where women should be seen (smiling only) and not heard
The election result must be galling him.
Toxic femininity?! Ugh. Bolt is a dinosaur fighting against all progress.

 The Shot

 Lachlan Murdoch, the evilest of Rupert Murdoch’s unholy brood, successor to the News Corporation throne and its global empire of dulled minds, axe-wielding and bloodthirsty warrior champion of the Flesh Pits of Galgganath, this week sued Crikey for saying nasty things and making up stuff about him. 

Much is at stake in this case. The outcome will have ripple effects on the media landscape beyond whether Crikey continues to exist or not. People that believe journalism can still be a force for good in the face of anti-democratic forces and cancerous entities like News Corporation and their cursed alliance with The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse should do everything in their power to be as good an ally to Crikey as possible. Subscribe and support. Donate to their legal fund. And feel free to plaster these brand-new “Lachlan Murdoch is an unindicted co-conspirator” and “Lachlan Murdoch is a fuckwit” stickers all over this fair city. If Lachlan is going to continue to drink the blood of his slain enemies, let’s at least make him choke and spit it out the next time he guzzles from his Skull Goblet atop his Iron Throne. Fuck Lachlan Murdoch. 

Fuck Lachlan Murdoch 

 

I doubt Lachlan Murdoch was going to sue Crikey, but I suspect the gamechanger was a full-page ad that Crikey ran in The New York Times calling on Lachlan to back up his threats to sue by filing and serving his defamation claim.CNN reported:

Lachlan Murdoch, who is the world’s best-known online stalker of women and children, sues news publisher Crikey for defamationKangaroo Court of Australia

 

Is it too much to hope that Lachlan Murdoch might go swirling down the giant novelty defamation toilet with Ben Roberts-Smith and Christian Porter? This week’s legal rocket wasn’t the first salvo fired at Crikey from the thinnest-skinned Murdoch. It’s apparently the fourth in two years. But this one felt like one of those poorly aimed Russian rockets that keep falling on Ukrainian primary schools or retirement homes for aged guide dogs.

“For I am a billionaire. Destroyer of worlds. And you will tremble before me… Dad, they’re not trembling.”
