@jaykuo These people are both insane and psychopathic (willing to hurt others).

Why is #Murdoch 's fox propaganda network still allowed to operate in the free world?

(In Murica the only safe 'article' appears to be the right to hate speech...)

*NO ONE* should do business with these key fascist enablers. People really ought to have cancelled their TV providers if they carried fascist fucking propaganda to begin with. 🤯

They should be facing justice where justice still manages to operate.

"#foxnews"

in today's episode of the #StreisandEffect storyline of the unfolding #Trump #Epstein drama, our dear orange God Emperor fighting for "will you please stop talking about this" generates some more headlines so people keep talking about this

and i will oblige the very stable genius with a post about it

"Trump seeks quick deposition of Rupert #Murdoch in Jeffrey Epstein letter defamation case"

NBC New York · Trump seeks quick deposition of Rupert Murdoch in Jeffrey Epstein letter defamation caseBy Dan Mangan, CNBC

El Donald™ quiere ver a #Murdoch en el banquillo antes de que se muera. Habrá que ver como se lo toma Simba el Heredero, Lachlan; conociendo los tejemanejes de la familia, todo es posible. En todo caso, Trump juega con fuego: hasta ahora, que yo sepa, Fox News no ha ido a saco con Epstein, todo lo contrario —pero eso puede cambiar con una llamada de teléfono

President Trump’s lawyers said Rupert Murdoch should be deposed as soon as possible because he is 94 years old.

OHHHH

yeah i read that about #jdvance meeting #murdoch, and i didn't realize what you did and you have an excellent point, i am reversing my previous post and adopting your view now

perhaps your more shrewd observation was blocked in my mind by a more crude line of thought i was having at the time:

"#vance met the #pope and then the pope died, hopefully he does the same to murdoch"

"As Rupert Murdoch settled into Donald Trump’s luxury box to watch Chelsea’s victory in the Club World Cup on Sunday, all appeared well with a relationship that has shaped conservative America for more than a decade.

But within hours the US president would call on the billionaire again, this time with demands to not publish an embarrassing letter allegedly from Trump in the 50th birthday scrapbook for Jeffrey Epstein, the paedophile who would later die by suicide in jail.

The typed letter reportedly included a drawing made with a “heavy marker” of a naked woman on which Trump’s signature features prominently, with a message wishing that “every day be another wonderful secret”.

Trump’s requests to Murdoch proved unsuccessful. The Wall Street Journal — one of the papers he owns — published the story on Thursday evening. Soon after, Trump lashed out at Murdoch on social media, threatening to “sue his ass off, and that of his third rate newspaper”.

The next day he made good on that threat, filing a lawsuit against Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal’s parent companies.

The spectacular rupture signals that the 94-year-old Murdoch is weighing whether Trump is losing his grip on the Maga movement over the Epstein saga, according to people close to the media billionaire."

Continued thread

If Murdoch doesn't fold this will be very interesting.

Murdoch is a hard, cold and calculating bastard who is entirely capable of seeing it as something personal which he will see to the end. I expect Trump expects him to fold like the other media organisations.

I'm sure he has appropriate evidence to back up the stories and pretrial discovery could be very painful for Trump's legal team.

There is the possibility of seeing Trump on the witness stand.

Such fun.

Analysis: "How well did Trump & Epstein really know each other? A timeline"

Birthday letters to Epstein in 2003 include one bearing Trump’s signature, the Wall Street Journal (WSG) reported on Thursday.

Trump responded: "I told Rupert Murdoch it was a Scam.. he shouldn’t print this Fake Story. But he did, & now I’m going to sue his a** off &.. his third-rate newspaper".
