Rupert Murdoch

 Bolt knows h'ell be sacked along with a whole lot of others. A corporate shift in policy isn't a shift in "Freedom of Speech".

 Pompous  Bolt was sacked from 2GB and tried to started up his own "Independent Podcast" to prove to them that he was more important than they were when it came to listeners. It closed within months, after not more than 5 attempts, was a total failure and embarrassment. Bolt is more leech attaching himself to the likes of Tony Abbott and the IPA than any broadcaster of merit.

The New York Times revealed that Rupert Murdoch was engaged in a legal battle against three of his children over the future of the “irrevocable” family trust, which controls the media assets of Fox Corp and News Corp.

Murdoch senior plans to change the terms of the trust to give control to Lachlan Murdoch, 52, who he argues is more politically conservative than the other children, Elisabeth, Prudence and James, and is therefore more able to preserve the commercial value of the media company for all of his heirs.

‘Talk about weird’: Trump shares bizarre description of how Melania reacted to shooting

(Adam Nichols, Raw Story)

Donald Trump revealed his wife’s reaction to…

"What was Melania's reaction?” Ingraham asked. “I hope you don't mind me asking, I know this is very personal, when she learned about what happened on that field in Butler?"

Trump said his wife had been watching live when the shots rang out, leaving him with a blood-streaked face as his security rushed him off the stage. A supporter in the crowd was killed.

"She was watching … she was watching live, it was all over the place, it was on television, it was on your network, but it was all over the place and she was watching," Trump told Ingraham.

"And I asked her that, I mean I wasn't there, I was on the ground — when the world started to, when you could talk to people and said, 'So what was your feeling,' and she was ah, she can't really even talk about it.

"Which is OK, because that means she likes me or she loves me. Let's say if she could talk about it freely, that would be, I'm not so sure which is better but ah, she either likes or loves me, that's nice."

The reaction was considered bizarre by many who watched the show.

“This dude is just freaking weird,” wrote an X user with the name Alan!. “He thinks his wife either ‘likes me or loves me.’ He thinks.”

“‘My wife either likes or loves me,’ is weird.” wrote X user Stephen M. Thomas. “‘She can’t talk about how she feels about me being shot at’ sounds like indifference.”

“If you don’t know, it’s neither,” wrote Patti Vasquez.
