 The emails were written when Rupert Murdoch and his then-wife Jerry Hall were living in the English countryside during the pandemic.

Emails written while holed up in the English countryside now make up an extraordinary paper trail lawyers have used to build their $US1.6b defamation case against Fox News.

 “stupid emails” now make up an extraordinary paper trail that has exposed the inner workings of Murdoch’s Fox media empire, revealing how he shapes coverage at his newspapers and cable networks and interacts with some of the most powerful figures in the Republican Party.

Rupert Murdoch’s ‘stupid emails’ have exposed the inner workings of his empire

 

You think a guy wearing animal skins and horns was admitted to the sacred halls of the U.S. government and given a guided tour by nice security guards on January 6, 2021? Why would you doubt it? After all, Tucker Carlson showed you those sweet and tender moments of a tourist in quite distinctive garb being escorted from place to place by government employees, right. And those pictures were taken from a video provided to Mr. Carlson by Kevin McCarthy, the majority leader of the House of Representatives? Don’t believe your own eyes anymore? Don’t believe your elected representatives? Are you really that cynical? Or that high? Or that addled by mainstream media?

Crazed insurrectionists swarming all over the Capitol Building and shitting on Nancy Pelosi’s desk? You think a thing like that could happen in the United States of America? And you call yourself a patriot? Better get right with what’s real, don’t ya think?

Israelis protest against the government's controversial judicial reform bill, in Haifa on March 9, 2023.

This week, when the New York Times featured an opinion piece by billionaire Michael Bloomberg, it harmonized with a crescendo of other recent pleas from prominent American supporters of Israel. Bloomberg warned that Israel’s new governing coalition is trying to give parliament the power to “overrule the nation’s Supreme Court and run roughshod over individual rights, including on matters such as speech and press freedoms, equal rights for minorities and voting rights.” Such a change would, Bloomberg added, undermine Israel’s “strong commitment to freedom.”

Strong commitment to freedom? That would sure be news to the more than 5 million Palestinian people living under Israeli occupation in Gaza and the West Bank.

Far from being a “Jewish democratic state,” Israel has evolved into a Jewish supremacist state. In the real world, “Israeli democracy” is an oxymoron. Denial does not make that any less true.
