  I take joy in knowing that Tony Blair shagged his former wife whilst they were together. (allegedly of course) 
  This dude got rid of one of his children from the company because he wasn't right wing enough. Smh.
context: FACT: The most venomous animal from Australia is Rupert Murdoch. >
  
  Imagine how less toxic politics and media would be in Australia/US/UK if Rupert Murdoch never existed.
  I mean when your white nationalist family is so insane that HBO has to make a TV show about your white nationalist son backstabbing your more liberal moderate son to take over your empire.... >
  
  Is that what succession is about ? >
  
  More or less but it’s awesome >
  
  More or less AND it's awesome >
  
  I tried watching Succession but I hated the characters too much to enjoy it. >
  
  Omgdxx same. I tried. I really did. One scene just made me nope out entirely. >
  
  Roman in his office? >
  
  "After 80 years of non-stop lies, vile hatred and crimes, this 99 year-old billionaire could possibly face a month's worth of consequences. " >
  
  I never realized this motherfucker was so old. Why do all the evil fucks live so long? >
  
  They have blood boys >
  
  I don't know what that means and I'm scared. >
  
  I doubt it's REALLY true, but the theory is that these old rich fucks stay alive so long by being routinely transfused with blood from healthy young people. Much like the whole "bathing in the blood of virgins to stay youthful" thing. >
  
  You obviously never met Gavin Belson! >
  
  I like how you use a fictional character when Peter Thiel, cofounder of PayPal, is right there actually doing it >
  
  That’s because Gavin has Tethics…..what does Peter Thiel have? >
  
  Eternal Youth >
  
  Oh I see >
  
  This should be televised. I hope it's uncomfortable for him, but not sure that's possible. >
  
  He is, in my opinion, the single most dangerous threat to democracy in the world.
  I hope for justice, but I've seen what passes for justice among the rich. >
  
  That sad part is, even if he gets his comeuppance, or died tomorrow, the institutions he has put in place are far too entrenched to be easily gotten rid of now. The damage he has already done to democracy is incalculable, and its ramifications will extend far into the future. It's pretty disheartening to think about, tbh. >
  
  Agreed, even if his kids wanted to do a 180 and turn everything around after his death, I dont think the machine he built can be really be stopped at this point. It would just morph into something as bad or worse. >
  
  The playbook has been exposed. Even if Fox goes insolvent and shuts down this weekend, another would pop up to replace it. The structural foundations, including the legal landscape, that allowed it to flourish need to be addressed. >
  
  Bring back the Fairness Doctrine! >
  
  Ya good luck lol
  Even if we did do that, you think this SCOTUS would say it’s constitutional? I wouldn’t bet on it. 
  We had a law in CA that required those fake abortion clinics to put a sign out that said they are not an abortion provider. Which is true. But their whole purpose is to trick women seeking an abortion to come in & then try to convince them to have the baby. They use brochures saying that science shows all these horrible things will happen if you have an abortion. Straight up nonsense & lies. They even make the clinics look like Planned Parenthood’s clinics.
  The SCOTUS ruled it was unconstitutional to require that sign. Which stated a simple fact. Apparently it infringed on their freedom of speech or something. I don’t think the Fairness Doctrine would hold up. >
  
  That moment when speech is against free speech. >
  
  It may have been religious freedom, I can’t remember. It was some bullshit in that area. It boiled down to they have the right to deceive vulnerable women & the state can’t interfere. >
  
  That's just old fashioned unrestrained capitalism. I would be pissed if I found my religions donations meant to help people were instead used for this kind of deceitful stuff. >
  
  Mr. Deep state himself. Poisoning the U.S with hatred, bigotry and evil >
  
  Why doesn’t Elon talk about this guy? Oh I know why >
  
  Rupert Murdoch is everything that wing nuts claim George Soros is. >
  
  Also: Koch brother >
  
  Worst person of the 21st century. >
  
  I don’t get it. People like him practically masturbate to the thought of themselves being terrible humans who are a counterpoint to the progress of human civilization. I really, really don’t get it. >
  
  Greed and power are addictive. There’s never enough for people this sick. 
  The only thing they live for is more. >
  
  And the foundation of capitalism incentivizes and celebrates this. Murdoch is a very experienced player of a broken, fucked up game. >
  
  I’m so excited for this. The rules for depositions and questioning are very lax. It’s basically whatever goes as long as it will lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, and isn’t harassing, speculative, etc. They only get one chance and (usually) 7 hours so the questions will be pointed, especially because they’re going to be up against one of the top firms in the world so objections will be plentiful.
  Honestly, this is wild. I hope he chokes on a dick. >
  
  The world will be better when he is gone.
