      1.This is an example where owning multiple properties all over the world really helps Murdoch spread disinformation. One site can publish false report with others then reporting on controversy over it.https://twitter.com/MattGertz/status/1318219549024681984 …

      1. Fox News passes on Hunter Biden email story because it's too sketchy. 2. Rudy takes it to NYP, which publishes it amid internal revolt over it being too sketchy. 3. Fox runs more than 6.5 hours of coverage on the story in the first two days alone. https://www.mediamatters.org/coronavirus-covid-19/fox-news-has-covered-hunter-biden-three-times-much-covid-19-wednesdayhttps://www.mediamatters.org/coronavirus-covid-19/fox-news-has-covered-hunter-biden-three-times-much-covid-19-wednesday … https://twitter.com/Mediaite/status/1318216480161517570 …

      2. We really saw this global rightwing disinformation network coalesce in 1990s. One outlet with low standards (often British press) would publish BS story, amplified by Drudge & Limbaugh, then Washington Times & NY Post, then ricocheting through rest of media.

          He used to filter the dodgy stories through the Australian papers.

          It’s amazing that Drudge has made an about face and has its sights set in the Trump faction of the GOP. It’s breathtaking

          Remember back in the 90s when the new owners of the NY Post named Bill Tatum (black publisher of the Amsterdam News) as the editor-in-chief, and Dem Gov Mario Cuomo interceded with the FCC so that Rupert Murdoch could buy the paper instead? Good times.

          How is there no anti-trust case against Murdoch and his lineup of sock-puppets? Why let an australian aristocrat determine what large parts of the world may hear as 'truth'?

          Does anyone else remember when Rupert Murdoch said some crap about his most "humble" day and it looked for a second like he would face some consequences? And then someone hit him with a cream pie? That was as close as he came to facing actual consequences.

          BTW it will be pretty easy to determine if emails are faked or not if they have digital signatures. This is why the claims of Podesta emails as fake was easily swatted down. If there is no denial of the accuracy of the emails - and I do not see any - you cannot claim disinfo
