American Monster — Rupert Murdoch
14th in a series on the network of US criminals accelerating global fascism
Poor people go to prison, the wealthy write checks.
From the phone hacking scandal to the Dominion Voting Systems/Big Lie scandal, Rupert Murdoch drove a propaganda empire that has weakened the West.
Murdoch’s global media dynasty of toxic right-wing properties — from British tabloids to the New York Post and Fox News — has poisoned millions of minds and made the world are darker place.
While the phone hacking scandal surrounding News of the World did not leave the Murdoch family unscathed – Murdoch shuttered the 168-year-old tabloid newspaper, paid millions in settlements to victims, and withdrew his bid for full control of BSkyB – but within two years, the Murdoch empire was boasting record profits, rewarded for its criminality.
I still curse the Australian-born oligarch for the death of Amy Winehouse, who lived with the fear and anxiety of being sold out by loved ones, when it was her private life being hacked and exploited by Murdoch thugs. And members of the Royal Family are right to blame tabloid vultures and ‘dirty diggers’ for the death of Princess Diana.
And now, in 2024, it should be pretty obvious that the corruption and malfeasance that festered in Murdoch’s UK properties has metastasized in the United States into a democracy-killing cancer, as evidenced by the recent Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit. Court documents revealed that Murdoch’s top TV propagandists knew they were lying to viewers about the 2020 election, and what was the price of those lies? What was the punishment for rage farming people to insurrect? Murdoch writes another check — this time for $787 million — a get out jail free pass to continue poisoning American minds en masse with unreality.
Murdoch’s former best boy Tucker Carlson — fired amid the Dominion scandal — has landed a gig on X/Twitter, where he broadcasts propaganda of genocidal maniacs like Alexsandr Dugin and Vladimir Putin to millions of minds addicted to the outrage and white grievance he served nightly on Fox.
“Murdoch has always been a general in a class war, operating the Ministry of Propaganda and Enlightenment to march the peasants toward fascism.”—High Fidelity, my co-host on RADICALIZED Truth Survives podcast, told Bette Dangerous.
I find it rather cute that media critics are hopeful that billionaire-owned news properties will suddenly pivot to save democracy, but the evidence refutes such hopium.
Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos — by hiring Will Lewis, the former general manager of Murdoch’s News International, shows that media billionaires continue to align against democracy. Lawyers for Prince Harry and actor Hugh Grant have accused Lewis, who is now the CEO of the Washington Post, of plotting to cover for top executives in the hacking scandal when he worked for Murdoch in London.
If the peak of one’s career is allegedly overseeing the wiping of 15 million emails to save the Murdoch machine, what’s the second act gonna be at the Washington Post? Overseeing the deletion of democracy?
I often think of the words of Hannah Arendt: “Only the mob and the elite can be attracted by the momentum of totalitarianism itself. The masses have to be won by propaganda.”
Those addicted to Fox News’ White Grievance Outrage Farming Factory are being mind hacked to march us toward fascism, and the only hopium I see on the horizon is the tenacity of independent investigative reporters spitting in the metaphorical eyes of billionaires.
Media Vultures
Byline Times co-founder and executive editor Peter Jukes reflected on the decade that has passed since he sat in a “hushed court 12 of the Old Bailey to hear the jury forewoman read out the verdicts in the eight-month-long phone-hacking trial of Rebekah Brooks, then CEO of News International, on charges of conspiracy to hack phones and pay public officials for stories, and – along with her assistant Cheryl Carter, head of security Mark Hanna, and her husband, Charlie Brooks – charges of conspiring to pervert the course of justice. All were found not guilty.”
As Jukes wrote in this Byline Times memoir, The Spectacle of Impunity: Phone Hacking Cover-Up Claims Cross the Atlantic:
The verdict felt momentous.
An estimated £100 million had been spent on the legal teams, police investigations, and court costs – more than 70% of that privately by Rupert Murdoch. I’d also been told that, if senior News International executives had been convicted, the police and Crown Prosecution Service were considering corporate charges against the company and its ‘controlling mind’. However, all that was swept away by the verdicts.
Minutes later, Brooks’ Deputy Editor at the by then defunct News of the World, and close companion, Andy Coulson, was found guilty of conspiracy to intercept voicemails.
The majority of the other Murdoch journalists in Coulson’s position, with such clear evidence against them, had pleaded guilty before the trial began. But by staying in the trial, Coulson had helped Brooks – the strength of the case against him, made that against her seem comparatively weak and more inferential.
Coulson had gone from the News of the World to Downing Street, where he was David Cameron’s head of communications at No 10. Minutes later, the then Prime Minister had to answer questions in the House of Commons from the then Labour Leader Ed Miliband. Cameron said he had given Coulson a “second chance” and regretted it.
It could have been a defining moment…
It was as if a light had suddenly been turned on in a dark room.
We saw Brooks herself partying with Tony Blair and David Blunkett, and enjoying ‘country dinners’ and horse-riding trips with her Oxfordshire neighbour David Cameron. We glimpsed the plush interiors of an elite political-media class that manipulated the public through a series of back-door deals and revolving-door appointments.
But then the light turned off and we were in the dark again.
More than 1,600 privacy cases have been settled by the company, many of them claims against The Sun, and News UK has paid out about £1 billion to date. Nor was ‘unlawful information-gathering’ limited to voicemail interception. Many of the settled claims involve blagging, theft, landline phone-tapping, surveillance, and unlawful access to private medical and financial records.
On the corporate scale, the evidence of systematic cover-up has only increased during the last decade.
In an account that sounds more like the actions of the East German Stasi secret police, (reports) suggests that News UK continued its unlawful news-gathering even as Parliament was investigating it – and that it was using criminal methods to hack the phones of MPs, not for tittle-tattle or tabloid sleaze, but for “political and commercial espionage”.
It is surely no accident that the media figures and newspapers involved in covering up the ‘dark arts’ of Fleet Street were key players in the lies, dirty data, and electoral dark arts of the EU Referendum campaign in 2016.
Nearly all of these papers pushed the propaganda and disinformation of the official Vote Leave campaign, fronted by Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, or its unofficial rival Leave.EU led by Nigel Farage. The Sun even registered itself as a campaigning organisation with the Electoral Commission in its fervent support for a leave vote in the referendum.
In 2018, when Carole Cadwalladr in the Observer revealed massive data harvesting and misuse, unlawful electoral overspends by Vote Leave, and a riot of meetings between Russians and Leave.EU, these same newspapers did their best to mock or minimise them. And so the rot spread from Fleet Street to Westminster, undermining all of the norms of political life, both written and unwritten.
The rot has not stopped. The impunity lives on.
—Beyond Contempt, Peter Jukes’ account of the phone-hacking trial, is published by Canbury Press
The rot continues to metastasize in this most perilous moment in history, as the post-World War II liberal world order is under siege by dictators, technofascists, and their billionaire allies.
When I think of the 14 Monsters in this investigative series so far, they each have a special place in that hell so eloquently described by Ukrainian soldier Volodymyr Demchenko — that worst place in hell that Dante reserved for those who lie and who force people to live in a world of lies:
News Simulation
“America is this broken battleground, where families are divided by what news they consume.”—Heidi Siegmund Cuda for Bette Dangerous
That Fox has simulated a news channel for so long has further confused and confounded regulators.
That its lead anchors and original architect Roger Ailes were run out of the business during the “me too” upheaval was a positive step but many decades overdue.
In Confessions of a Fox Blonde, I detailed my first encounter with the disgraced Bill O’Reilly:
I had the displeasure of meeting Bill O’Reilly when I was 24. I was working as the associate editor of Hollywood Magazine, when I was tasked with interviewing the anchorman as he made the jump from ABC to Inside Edition.
We met in a cramped hotel room, and I recall our chairs being so close together that his manspreading created no room for my knees. I had to tuck my legs under my chair. As he swung his long legs back and forth during the interview, knocking directly into mine, he had a lecherous twinkle in his eye. I did the only sensible thing a girl could do in that situation.
I lobbed him three softballs and then went for the jugular.
“How does it feel going from a real newsman to infotainment?” I asked.
I obliterated that lecherous twinkle with a hardball, and he turned into a viper. He was no longer interested in this young chippie in a pink sweater twinset, and the interview abruptly ended.
The point is, everyone knew what scumbags these people were — their behavior was encouraged. Fox’s internal company culture encouraged serial sexual harassers, and the network eventually paid out $13 million dollars to settle five different sexual harassment lawsuits over O’Reilly’s conduct.
I detail my 15 years within the Murdoch system here:
The greatest wounds many of us share is the loss of loved ones. They may still be present, but they are not themselves. And some of our loved ones passed away, in a state of fitful outrage poisoned by Fox.
In my memoir about how I and others lost our fathers to the Fox Outrage Factory, I wrote:
I wasn’t in the habit of hanging up on my father, but in 2017 it started happening with alarming frequency.
The first time it occurred was when he discussed me attending the Women’s March in Washington DC and my father said it was “the most vulgar display of…” Click.
Being present in Washington DC at one of the most profoundly important events for women in my lifetime was among the greatest days of my life. My dad thought it was vulgar, and it broke my heart. I found myself politically behind enemy lines. How and why?
My father had been a bleeding heart liberal his entire life. It wasn’t until 2011, when his Republican friends started forwarding him sinister and anonymous emails bashing Democrats that he started to drift. That I was working in broadcast news at a Fox affiliate, as I wrote in Confessions of a Fox Blonde, further complicated things. He could proudly show his daughter on TV.
Oh the guilt.
I divorced broadcast news in 2013 – I, too, had started to drift and needed to make my way back to my pre-Fox self. But by then my dad was hooked. That so many of his immigrant friends also became radicalised at the time seemed confusing to me then, but looking back, it is all becoming clear.
Fox News was preying on older, white men, getting them hooked on right-wing victimhood.
“What happened to Dad?” asked filmmaker Jen Senko at the beginning of her documentary The Brainwashing of My Dad. She intended to find out. Her film is a personal story similar to mine – where she watched her father who “never had an unkind word to say about anyone” become angry and radicalised by watching Fox Newsand listening to Rush Limbaugh. Her father also started receiving aggressive right-wing emails around 2011.
Both our fathers were smart, successful professionals, and Senko bristles when radicalised people are dismissed as ‘stupid’.
“I think that’s stupid,” she told Byline Supplement. “Because then you don’t get at the root problem.”
In her film, she interviewed global experts who have been documenting Fox’s impacts on its viewers and how the Outrage Industrial Complex – the deliberate farming of fury – is addicting older adults to rage and victimhood, particularly directing rage at immigrants.
“Literally thousands of people have sent me their own heartbreaking stories about them losing their loved ones to Fox ‘News’ or some other bloviating angry right-wing host,” Senko told Byline Supplement. “I firmly believe there would not even be a Trump if not for Fox ‘News’.”
Lying On the Record
Trump and Fox News were inextricably linked, and the network was even willing to lie for him. That we should discover those lies were endorsed by Rupert Murdoch should surprise no one, but it’s important to get it on the record.
In evidence presented by Dominion Voting Systems in its $1.6 billion defamation suit against Fox News and Fox Corp., Rupert Murdoch testified under oath that he knew Fox anchors ‘endorsed’ lies about the 2020 election fraud, and that he did nothing to stop it.
Murdoch’s testimony was part of the fallout from Dominion’s court filings, which caused renewed scrutiny of the network.
The court documents filed in Delaware by Dominion Voting Systems as part of the company’s lawsuit against Fox News and Fox Corporation and Fox Broadcasting contains text messages, emails and testimony from Fox anchors and executives that they did not believe the Big Lie promoted in the days after the 2020 election.
Among the allegations in court filings:
Former Fox host Tucker Carlson wrote that lawyer and Trump aide Sidney Powell was lying. “It’s insane.”
Fox host Laura Ingraham responded: “Sidney is a complete nut. No one will work with her. Ditto with Rudy.”
The filing alleges Carlson and host Sean Hannity mulled over getting a White House reporter fired after she fact-checked a tweet from Trump
The filing alleges Carlson told Hannity, “Please get her fired. Seriously….What the f**k? I’m actually shocked… It needs to stop immediately, like tonight. It’s measurably hurting the company. The stock price is down. Not a joke.”
Dominion alleged the network was worried its viewers were leaving Fox for Newsmax, which also perpetuated the Big Lie.
Filings allege that Murdoch suggested putting his three top hosts on camera to admit Biden won. But that didn’t happen. Imagine if it had, how far that would have gone to course-correct people’s minds.
"Why did it take so long for some kind of action to be taken against Fox?” questioned filmmaker Jen Senko. “I think of all the harm Fox has done to families, individuals and our country. They played their part in instigating the January 6 insurrection with their stochastic terrorism. They were responsible for so many deaths as they downplayed and lied about Covid and the vaccines. They drummed up racism and downplayed police violence against black people by blaming black people, resulting in this pushback against ‘woke-ism’. Franklin Delano Roosevelt managed to get rid of [propagandist] Tokyo Rose during World War II. How is Fox any less vile, anti-American treasonous, than Tokyo Rose?”
Thank You For Not Smoking Fox
Some studies even suggest that viewing Fox is not only psychologically lethal but actually could kill you.
A University of Chicago study titled Misinformation During a Pandemic reported Fox News viewers experienced greater numbers of Covid deaths.
“Media outlets often present diverging, even conflicting, perspectives on reality — not only informing, but potentially misinforming audiences,” its authors wrote. “Through both a selection-on-observables strategy and an instrumental variable approach, we find that areas with greater exposure to the show downplaying the threat of COVID-19 experienced a greater number of cases and deaths.”
Evidence in the study suggested a higher viewership of Fox News’ primetime show Hannity “is associated with a greater number of COVID-19 cases and deaths during the early onset of the coronavirus pandemic.”
In a Kaiser Family Foundation study, Fox News’ Covid-19 lies were documented, and the study determined Fox watchers were more likely to believe Covid lies than people who take in other sources of news.
And if you were a Fox News viewer during the January 6 Committee hearings investigating the Insurrection, you might not know they were occurring. Fox declined to air the hearings live in its primetime coverage, but did find time in its network scheduling to air wall to wall coverage of the Hillary Clinton hearings on Benghazi - ultimately, the network aired 1,100 segments on Benghazi.
As former FBI assistant director Frank Figliuzzi tweeted in 2022, in response to Fox’s declination to air the January 6 hearings: “Radicalization includes suppression of truth.”
The fact that some Fox News hosts are Russian-state TV darlings suggests to Kyiv-based reporter Paul Niland that Fox hosts are playing for the wrong team.
“You have to know your enemy,” he said. “Russian media was showing clips of Tucker Carlson and what you have to understand is that if Russia is on your side, you're on the wrong goddamn side, Russia means absolutely no good to the United States of America. Russia is your enemy.”
Now, Carlson has his own show on Russian-state TV.
‘Changing the Channel’
Both Jen Senko and I lost our fathers, but she managed to get her father back from Fox before he passed away.
She collaborated with her now 103-year-old mother to lure him away from Fox and other outrage instigators.
“At one point, my mother was going to get an apartment and leave him,” said Senko. “But instead - she changed the channel.”
Her mother ran a successful Mission Impossible-style caper. When the family TV broke, she ordered a new one and programmed the channels to not include Fox. When the family radio broke, they never repaired it, so the daily three hours of Rush Limbaugh ceased.
She went into her husband’s computer and unsubscribed him from all the mailing lists sending anti-democratic emails. She then subscribed him to pro-Democracy lists.
Jen Senko and her family got her father back in his lifetime.
Her mother called her one day, and said, “You’re not going to believe this. Your father was watching TV and President Obama came on. And your father said, ‘I like that guy.’”
And then it happened again.
I never had the opportunity to de-radicalise my father. He passed away before we could have that conversation. Those are difficult conversations to have because people who become addicted to othering outrage are looking for a fight – they become “facts resistant.”
I made sure my last words to him were kind. As I was hanging up on him – with the phone pulled far away from my ear – I heard myself loudly saying over his words, “I LOVE YOU...”
I had the sense to make sure my last words were kind. We never know when we will lose someone, and I lost my father in August of 2017.
It’s true. I blame Rupert Murdoch. This beautiful First Amendment of ours has been exploited by Monsters. It was never meant as a license for mass radicalization.
The Emperor of Sleaze
As conservative commentator Andrew Neil explained in his book Full Disclosure, recalling his time working for Murdoch:
“When you work for Rupert Murdoch you do not work for a company chairman or chief executive: you work for a Sun King. You are not a director or a manager or an editor: you are a courtier at the court of the Sun King—rewarded with money and status by a grateful King as long as you serve his purpose, dismissed outright or demoted to a remote corner of the empire when you have ceased to please him or outlived your usefulness.”
Examples of ratings supremacists getting dumped by the Sun King are Carlson and Glenn Beck, remember him? Beck must have raged on his desk in lederhosen one time too many. But recall the damage these bad actors did?
Carlson pushed the “white genocide” Great Replacement theory, and Beck argued that President Barack Obama was a Marxist — it almost seems so quaint now in light of all that has transpired in the Trumpocene. Like that time Bill O’Reilly attacked a 9/11 victim’s son.
But all of these sick plotlines espoused on Fox are ultimately Murdoch’s responsibility.
“If he just would do one thing, and that thing is tell his employees to stop lying,” activist Julie DeLaurier told me on Ep68 of RadPod. Murdoch, who is now chairman emeritus as his kids appear on mastheads, hasn’t done that yet.
Murdoch put these men and their Leni Reifenstahl counterparts on television, and it was Murdoch who let them keep poisoning the minds of our neighbors and family members.
It was Murdoch who built the beast, who hired the sexual predator and right-wing sociopath Roger Ailes, who used Fox News as a vehicle for mainstreaming right-wing conspiracies and culture wars, when not trying to get women to trade sexual favors for career opportunities. Ailes was finally axed when the number of lawsuit scandals created ledger pain. Predatory treatment of women at the network resulted in $200 million in lawsuit settlements.
The sleaze was baked in.
Not surprisingly, Murdoch became synonymous with sleaze — a sleaze that is now associated with UK print newspapers. His Wall Street Journal’s editorial pages are a bloodbath of unreality, notably becoming a metaphorical pusherman for global warming denial.
I often think of that moment in Catch-22, when the Italian fascist explains his political views:
“I was a fascist when Mussolini was on top and now that he has been deposed, I am anti-fascist. When the Germans were here, I was fanatically pro-German, now I’m fanatically pro-American. You’ll find no more loyal partisan in all of Italy than myself.”
Citizen Murdoch
Alas, American Monster No. 14 — the most powerful figure in Western media — became a naturalized US citizen in 1985 because it was good for business. It’s likely that without Fox News, there would have been no Trump presidency. American Monster No. Three, Roy Cohn, introduced Murdoch to Ronald Reagan, and Reagan believed without Murdoch and Cohn there would have been no Reagan presidency.
Two of Murdoch’s U.S. papers — the WSJ and the New York Post — are among the most read in the country, and The Sun and The Times are among the most read in the UK. News Corp’s HarperCollins is also wildly influential.
When I think of what has become of America since the launch of Fox News in 1996, I think about how the US now lacks a shared narrative of truth.
Like many who are married to radicalized spouses or mourning the loss of radicalized family members, the rage farming and outrage addiction experienced by so many millions falls squarely on the decrepit shoulders of Murdoch.
The ugliest qualities in the US today — science denial, anti-immigration, anti-gay, anti-trans, white panic, overt racism, fear, fear, fear — are broadcast nightly on Fox News.
What has occurred in America in the Trumpocene, an era where we endure a complete assault on reality, has happened due to many factors — Russian active measures, US traitors working for Russia, right-wing think tanks, which are actually democracy demolition factories.
And Murdoch’s minions take all that shit and spew it out to millions of readers and viewers, addicting people to all that ugly.
At 93, Murdoch is looking forward to his next chapter — allegedly set to marry a fifth time to a relative-by-marriage of Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, one of Putin’s closest allies.
The ‘Dirty Digger’s’ Backstory
Keith Rupert Murdoch was born into an influential Australia family. His granduncle, Sir Walter Murdoch, was a prominent scholar who inspired a namesake university and town. His father, Sir Keith Murdoch, was a newspaper owner, and upon the senior Keith’s death in 1952, Rupert inherited the family business. He also inherited his father’s debts and no doubt, his disdain for settling government tariffs began at a young age. Murdoch had just graduated from Oxford when he took over where his father left off.
In Australia, he bought newspapers, used the profits to buy more newspapers in Australia, the UK, and the US. He expanded into film and television through 20th Century Fox and Fox Broadcasting. Cutthroat and cheap, he engaged in predatory schemes.
On the Murdoch Dynasty, William Shawcross said:
“Of course it’s an empire, Murdoch’s a great empiricist. He wants to create the most important and the biggest company dealing in the most important commodity today, which is information. The railroad barons made the 19th century, and the information barons are making the end of the 20th and early 21st century. And Murdoch is one of the most important information barons in the world.”—William Shawcross, “Murdoch” biographer
Three years after Shawcross released his Murdoch biography, Murdoch launched his Fox News cable show in the US, and the carpet bombings of minds ensued.
In the UK, his employees were hacking celebrity phones, and the phones of family members of murder victims and dead soldiers, listening to their voicemail messages. Although firings and settlements occurred, the Sun King escaped accountability, free to continue marching us toward fascism by platforming right-wing extremists, election and science deniers, and cultivating minds away from their own democracy.
His Outrage Actors are free to continue spreading their venom, the demonizing of minority groups continues, the new moral panic du jour awaits. And if the hysteria fails in the much coveted 18 to 49 demo, producers can always replay immigrant caravans to give meat to their feral base.
But how many more minds can we afford to lose — how many more normal, tolerant people can we watch transform into fearful, angry racists who then assist in swaying the outcome of presidential elections?
As I have established, the Trump presidency* and Fox were joined at the telegenic hip.
While skewing minds in primetime, Sean Hannity also worked as an unofficial adviser to the Trump campaign, and when Trump was installed as president, they talked on the phone daily. In an earlier time, that would have been frowned upon. In today’s America, it’s just another fleeting headline, one soon papered over with culture war distraction.
I once took the time to tally up all the Russian ties to Fox employees, so it’s not surprising that former Fox stars like Carlson spew Russian propaganda regularly, contributing to America’s confusing about reality. When at Fox, it was in the contract.
‘Unfox America’
Since August of 2021, every Tuesday, a group of grassroots activists under the title “Truth Tuesdays” protest in front of Fox News’ New York headquarters, and one of the organizers, Julie DeLaurier, said their goal is to inspire “meaningful action.”
Among their current slogans: “Stop Stumping for a Wannabe Dictator! Stop Hurting America!”
“We're not just posting memes, we're not just complaining, we're giving people meaningful actions they can take against Fox,” DeLaurier said. “We can UnFox our Cable Boxes. We can ask proprietors to change the channel from Fox in every cafe and gym and dentist office in the country. We can help a friend or loved one understand they've been lied to. We can work to get Fox off our military bases, where our troops are being radicalized on our tax dollars. There are lots of small actions we can all take that will add up.”
I am still haunted by the Dominion deposition, where Murdoch tried to distinguish between his anchors and ‘commentators’ – and he explained away why his network would continue to run ads by QAnon conspiracy promoter Mike Lindell by saying: “It’s not red or blue, it is green.”
America’s delusional, psychotic break is profitable for Rupert Murdoch, that’s the sickest thing of all. Our pain is his profit.
When I think of the Murdoch clan, I often reflect on these words by F. Scott Fitzgerald from The Great Gatsby:
“They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
Some of these stains are permanent.
How many more losses must we endure before all that remains where Fox once stood is scorched earth — and a shingle to remind us what was once there.
And how we can’t let it happen again.
Rupert Murdoch is 93. He runs a glossy criminal empire. He stays out of jail by writing checks. Maybe one day, his money will no longer be good.
