so we're fucked and brainwashed for yet another 50 years.
Yeah I feel this should be bigger news.
Trumps die, News Corp continues.
Lachlan Murdoch is possibly even more horrible than his shitty father
Not conservative. Keep them propoganda mills. The other heirs wanted it to shift to more reliable news.
It will only stay conservative as long as it is run by conservatives. I hope they are worried about stochastic terror.
I think a more interesting question is why there aren't major US TV news sources between Fox News and the center, occupying the area that the three-more-liberal-kids wanted to take Fox News.
To the right of Fox News, you have upstarts One America News Network and Newsmax.

In the US, there there are a pretty broad range of media outlets on the left. On the right, things are considerably more concentrated. There's a bunch of data out there on this, but just to dig up a quick recent Pew survey:

You'd think that there'd be space for a center-right TV channel to the left of Fox News.
CNN is the center right network.
MSNBC as well
If it's not there already it's certainly heading that way all right. Fast.
To your last comment. That's not how cults work.
All religions are far right extremists. No free thought or speech, only their ficitonal god, and all their hate. Literally thoudands of years of history showing exactly that.
As long as they are allowed to spread nazi propanda, there will be nazis killing your children, or doing everything they can to get them in their weird death cult.
