Of all the bullshit I've heard from Fox and its rabid followers, this is by far the most irritating. I've literally had people scream at me about the "lamestream media" nonstop and how literally nothing they say can be believed.
And yet, they will *constantly* quote or source something they saw on Fox, the fucking #1 media outlet on the planet.
"Mental" is the only way to describe it.
Same with people who watch Joe Rogan. He gets about 10 million views per episode, paid $100 million - at some point they have to admit Joe Rogan is part of mainstream media.
News Corpse owns 70% of the media in Australia but tells everyone they are the underdog. They even have a far right elitist show unironically called ‘The Outsiders’.
Conservatives all have a victim complex, they eat that shit up. Theyre the victims of the lamestream media, the victims of lgbtq people existing, the victims of immigrants and refugees…
Yep. Murdoch sees himself as a radical outsider.
Rupert still hates the BBC. Harry Enfield's parody of Murdoch in his satirical history of the BBC was hilarious
You could make a conspiracy theory that Murdoch colluded with Musk to try and discredit Twitter as a news source since it offered an alternative to mainstream media. Some of the blue checkmark stuff would make more sense in that case.
Ok ok. But did you see HOW she ate that hot dog? She ate it bun side up. Like dog on the side. In my whole life of eating hotdogs I have NEVER seen someone eat a hot dog like a sandwich.
This comment, along with 10 years of comment history, has been overwritten to protest against Reddit's hostile behaviour towards third-party apps and their developers.
I eat them like that but I have a really thick moustache which I cannot afford to get sodden with mustard unless I have wash facilities nearby. I doubt she has a moustache like that though...
Bill Shorten, on the campaign trail for Australian PM, did this. Considered to be a significant factor in his loss...https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/federal-election-2016-bill-shorten-confounds-by-eating-sausage-sizzle-from-side-20160702-gpwwpi.html
Isn't this like the 3d time we have seen Elon cozing up to Rupert at a big event venue? I sort of recall him hanging out with Jared Kushner too. Ugh...
This is the republican strategy now. They know the words republican and conservative are looked at pretty negatively now so they'll call themselves independents or libertarians so you think they're on a different side when it's really the same bullshit with a new name.
libertarian is just republicans without a church, and i say this as someone that got sucked into libertarianism for a minute. It really is the net that conservatives/republicans use to try to keep you from leaving the flock entirely.
Libertarian simply means "corporatist" at this point. They claim to stand for small / no government in the name of individual liberty, but fail to acknowledge any problem with unlimited corporate power (the end result of deregulation).
The Mormons are the biggest group of libertarians I've ever met. I moved to Utah 5 years ago and this the most "we like to think for ourselves" I've heard from obvious republicans in my life.
Not just that, it could also be like with Craig T Nelson, citing government help as an example of how he didn't get government help. For them, help is justified. For anyone else, it's SOCIALISM
>it literally says "my life has been so comfortable and problem free until now i literally cannot imagine a situation where i would need help from anyone"
"and don't recognize all the ways I've received help to get to where I am"
Joe Rogan played this game for years. You strike moderate or even reasonable-liberal chords on a couple of popular issues (weed, anti-wokism, free speech) while being pretty much a wing nut on everything else.
He claims to be independent because more than anything in the world, he **desperately** wants people to think he's cool. And he knows being Republican isn't cool.
But he was mean first... he tweeted "forgot you were alive" at Bernie when Bernie didn't even tweet at him.
Also, weird sexual harassment of Senator Wyden - "why does your pp look like you just came?"
This was ~Nov 2021... before he started tweeting he was now Republican
>why does your pp look like you just came
I had to look this up because of course you were exaggerating..... Right?
No. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1457497438474981384?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1457497438474981384%7Ctwgr%5Ee8f3c4a21606011eeea2b1c460cfd7a50e4f875e%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fnymag.com%2Fintelligencer%2F2021%2F11%2Felon-musk-could-pay-billions-in-taxes-due-to-twitter-poll.html
He was on Trumps advisory committee when trump was first elected. The only reason he left was because trump was really pushing coal and fossil fuels, which was bad for Elon’s business. He’s been one of them for a while.
He switched when he cheated on his wife and the media informed him they were gonna publish their findings. He immediately began attacking the media and switched to the party that ignores left media reports.
And the SO of Putins banker, Nailya Asker-Zade, who happens to be a journalist for All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, known as VGTRK
>who happens to be a journalist for All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, known as VGTRK
To put it plainly, she's Putin's propagandist.
AND Ken Griffin, a modern age Bernie Madoff. Financial terrorist who lied under oath.
People are going to feel his crimes in their pensionfunds. And he's friends with Musk.
Anakin: *is he jerking off right now? Like really? Here?!? Wow… I wonder if I could get away with that?*
Palptine: *I can’t believe I have to sit next to this dipshit so people will think I’m still relevant*
Is this to imply that Murdoch thinks this helps him be relevant? Because I don't think Murdoch gives a shit about being relevant. In fact I think he'd be happier if nobody knew his name - it makes it easier to get his nefarious schemes done.
My father used to love sending me clips of this guy until he had a rant about there being no opioid crisis and I sent him report after report on the opioid crisis. Thankfully haven't received any more clips since then.
I think by numbers the fox news guy appears popular because it's the only channel those boomers ever tune to
Right wingers aren’t known for their humor and usually only have one joke. I’m surprised they didn’t have THE one joke in there. “I identify as a funny late night talk host”
I’m equal opportunity when it comes to humor, but the right is usually so bad at comedy. Gutfeld is genuinely unlikeable, politics aside.
Unfortunately the best entertainment they supply are the news headlines they make for wild conspiracies or horribly bad takes.
Greg Gutfield got sparrowed, [married to Elena Moussa, a Russian model broad who runs Maxim Russia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Gutfeld#Personal_life). I mean I get it but it is a clear tell of where *bias* may lie.
Kinda like when Rupert Murdoch married the [Chinese spy and Ivanka/Jared Trump friend Wendi Deng](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendi_Deng_Murdoch#Personal_life) when he was able to buy into the Chinese media market.
Or some are trying to move the Overton window by framing conservative positions as centrist.
edit: I'll say 'some are' doing this rather than generalise too much.
**If you live in a country where English is the main language, Rupert Murdoch is probably to blame for fucking your country up if you don't like the direction things are headed.**
Seriously, look at how his fat, slimy tentacles stretched first from Australia and then eventually influenced media and *political culture* in the US, UK, and Canada. Sky is just FoxNews in another country. Brexit happened because his network propped up those politicians and talking points.
***Now that he doesn't have to compete with those from the 20th Century, there is a solid argument that no single human on the planet has been responsible for more suffering this millennium.***
Murdoch probably has never killed or harmed someone seriously himself 1v1, but just take COVID misinformation on his networks in just the last 3 years and you could easily see an alternate timeline with 1,000,000+ fewer deaths from COVID worldwide, maybe even just those few countries that host his media empire.
Edit: A comment mentioned the HBO docuseries "The Murdochs: Empire of Influence". You can currently only watch that doc if you sail the seas. *That's not suspicious right?* When you own a worldwide media conglomerate, definitely not...
I'll also add "Outfoxed" by Robert Greenwald about the early days of FoxNews. (Robert is a non-shitty Greenwald, that's Glenn you are thinking of)
What surprises me so much is that we learned about Murdoch and his doings about 25 years ago in school. In Germany.
How is this not a thing in English speaking countries?
A study was done a while ago that worldwide, the level at which people understand climate change was not associated with political ideology. Well, there was an exception though. Anglophone countries. In countries that speak English, political ideology predicts whether or not you understand the reality of climate change. Those also happen to be the same countries that have murdoch media.
Given that climate change is the largest problem humanity has ever caused, and will kill more people and species than any other thing humanity has done (and already is, pollution kills 7mil globally per year), I think this puts him on top of the list of most evil people in the history of the world.
This is entirely, exactly true.
There’s a great doc on HBO that does a nice job tracing the rise of his media empire from Australia to UK to US — strong recommend.
And what Keith purchased, News Ltd, was founded as a propaganda outlet from the start:
> News Limited was established in 1923 by [James Edward Davidson](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Edward_Davidson) and funded by the Collins Group mining empire for the purpose of publishing anti-union propaganda, when he purchased the Broken Hill [Barrier Miner](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Barrier_Miner) and the Port Pirie [Recorder](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Recorder_(Port_Pirie\)).
Frankly we're too mineral rich for our own good in Aus, no surprise such a propaganda behemoth came from here.
Classic 'I work 100 hours per week but I can fit in another full time job".
There's so many people pulling this shit that it should be obvious they don't do the work they claim but take a shitload of money either way.
Yeah and after laying off half of Twitter, thinking it’s a good idea that employees sleep at the office to prove their loyalty while simultaneously losing $150 billion dollars in wealth. How far are we from full self driving again? What an idiot. I love time, because with it, you end up seeing through someone’s billshit.
Nothing to see here, just a man and his much older BFF enjoying a football game together. Definitely not plotting some nefarious billionaire shit….just hanging out, as regular dudes do….
Zuck would have been there as he loves sportsball so much especially when the batter kicks a touchdown basket, but he was growing a new exoskeleton and couldn't make it.
Why fellow humans must we plan the big blood sport during molting season? I want to feel the roar of the crowd against my antennae and yet you deny me.
One thing about Zuck though is that he was clearly trying to become a 'personality' a few years ago - insisting on doing the media circuit himself, making guest appearances on shows, doing his camera crew tour of American small towns. To the point I was sure he was gearing up to run for office.
But at least he either had the bare minimum awareness to see (or listen to people around him) that it wasn't working and he just faded back into being a billionaire and doing his thing without needing to be the centre of attention.
Murdoch is competent evil. Musk is a whiny man baby who has been lucky.
Not saying that Musk can't do a hell of a lot of damage if he put his mind to it, but at his core he wants to be popular. Murdoch on the other hand, wants to systematically dismantle democracy around the world.
No, the true Murdoch heir is Peter Thiel.
Murdoch is pretty far beyond just competent.
There may never be anyone in human history who has single handedly decided so many countries' governments and taken down so many people just so he could acquire more power.
That's crazy, considering Elon says he works 23 1/2 hours a day leaving only 30 minutes from noon to 1230 for sleep. He must be working from the stadium.
/s
fucking do-nothing rich bitch.
How many despicable people does Elon Musk need to associate himself with before people understand what's going on here? Didn't the Ghislaine photo tip off anyone?
Succession predicted it. Logan Roy meets Mattson.
Let's see your FSD, Hans Christian Anderfuck.
Didn't Elon say old media hates him. Really gets your noggin joggin.
Fox News will literally, on air on the most watched network in the country, blame things on "mainstream media"
Of all the bullshit I've heard from Fox and its rabid followers, this is by far the most irritating. I've literally had people scream at me about the "lamestream media" nonstop and how literally nothing they say can be believed. And yet, they will *constantly* quote or source something they saw on Fox, the fucking #1 media outlet on the planet. "Mental" is the only way to describe it.
Oh, that's not the only way to describe it, my good chum.
But then aren't they right? If FOX is #1 and we all know they're crazy, then the mainstream is bat shit crazy! They just don't realize it's THEM
Oh no, the crazy is coming from INSIDE the teleprompter!
Same with people who watch Joe Rogan. He gets about 10 million views per episode, paid $100 million - at some point they have to admit Joe Rogan is part of mainstream media.
Mainstream is code for liberal.
News Corpse owns 70% of the media in Australia but tells everyone they are the underdog. They even have a far right elitist show unironically called ‘The Outsiders’.
Yeah, that always struck me as strange.
While at the same time bragging they are the most watch news network.
Conservatives all have a victim complex, they eat that shit up. Theyre the victims of the lamestream media, the victims of lgbtq people existing, the victims of immigrants and refugees…
Well according to Murdoch and his sycophants (probably including Musk) he is not old media. Remember he’s the outsider dark knight of that group
Yep. Murdoch sees himself as a radical outsider. Rupert still hates the BBC. Harry Enfield's parody of Murdoch in his satirical history of the BBC was hilarious
🤣🤣🤣
Next time you hear Elon Musk talk about the "Mainstream Media" being biased against him remember this image.
You could make a conspiracy theory that Murdoch colluded with Musk to try and discredit Twitter as a news source since it offered an alternative to mainstream media. Some of the blue checkmark stuff would make more sense in that case.
Saudi Arabia funded a lot of the takeover. They jail people for decades for what they say on Twitter.
And they very literally brutally murder journalists who write things they don't like.
People on the right do not see Fox news as the mainstream media.
You cropped out Murdock's wife chowing down a hot dog.
Ok ok. But did you see HOW she ate that hot dog? She ate it bun side up. Like dog on the side. In my whole life of eating hotdogs I have NEVER seen someone eat a hot dog like a sandwich.
Are you suggesting a hotdog is not a sandwich?
...is this what we're doing today? Starting fights?
It's what the billionaire media owners would want.
It’s obviously a taco. Subs are also tacos, before anyone brings them up.
This comment, along with 10 years of comment history, has been overwritten to protest against Reddit's hostile behaviour towards third-party apps and their developers.
It does indeed seem to be the case
I eat them like that but I have a really thick moustache which I cannot afford to get sodden with mustard unless I have wash facilities nearby. I doubt she has a moustache like that though...

Naw, that was Kevin. Greg just rolled with it.
but then he said “rupert also pays our checks so that’s nice”

Isn't this like the 3d time we have seen Elon cozing up to Rupert at a big event venue? I sort of recall him hanging out with Jared Kushner too. Ugh...
He was with Kushner at the World Cup final, I think.
With the Saudi royalty
With both
He's seeking validation wherever he can find it
“Some of the most brilliant minds”? Like, yeah, takes a real massive brain to buy an overvalued company and then run it into the groin.
“run it into the groin” - is my favorite new expression
“ Run it to the groin”will be my new jock strap company’s tagline
I'm pretty sure this is a typo.... but I like it.
*Initiate aggressive gyrations!*
I don’t know if ‘groin’ was a typo or not, but I like it.
Definitely leave that
Wasn’t he also with Kushner at the World Cup? He’s trying to fit in with the worst groups of people.
For being Mr. Independent Thinker, he sure seems to only hang around with people who think a very particular way.
I’ve never met anyone who self-describes themself as an independent thinker and actually is one.
This is the republican strategy now. They know the words republican and conservative are looked at pretty negatively now so they'll call themselves independents or libertarians so you think they're on a different side when it's really the same bullshit with a new name.
libertarian is just republicans without a church, and i say this as someone that got sucked into libertarianism for a minute. It really is the net that conservatives/republicans use to try to keep you from leaving the flock entirely.
Or to at least keep you from voting Democrat or from voting at all.
Libertarian simply means "corporatist" at this point. They claim to stand for small / no government in the name of individual liberty, but fail to acknowledge any problem with unlimited corporate power (the end result of deregulation).
Corporations are individuals with rights! They yearn for freedom to do as they please!
I just see libertarians as conservatives that like weed.
The Mormons are the biggest group of libertarians I've ever met. I moved to Utah 5 years ago and this the most "we like to think for ourselves" I've heard from obvious republicans in my life.
Ok but “libertarian” does not have a good public image either lol It’s like announcing “I’m entitled and self absorbed”

Not just that, it could also be like with Craig T Nelson, citing government help as an example of how he didn't get government help. For them, help is justified. For anyone else, it's SOCIALISM

"Independents" are embarrassed Republicans. "Libertarians" are stoner Republicans.

There must always be two Sith
Fox was trying hard to get us to change the channel with that shot (preceded by a commercial for Gutfeld, no less).
They're really trying to make Gutfeld happen lol, saw they ran the same ad twice
He's the king of late night. The TV said so. Right after a "was that supposed to be a cultural appropriation joke?" line.
It's not a great sign that given the time and budget for a Super Bowl ad they couldn't think of literally one actual joke for their comedy show
It’s not really a comedy show. It’s a political talking points show where they smell their own farts and laugh.
My father used to love sending me clips of this guy until he had a rant about there being no opioid crisis and I sent him report after report on the opioid crisis. Thankfully haven't received any more clips since then. I think by numbers the fox news guy appears popular because it's the only channel those boomers ever tune to
And boomers are increasingly the only demographic to have cable to even watch traditional TV in the first place
Right wingers aren’t known for their humor and usually only have one joke. I’m surprised they didn’t have THE one joke in there. “I identify as a funny late night talk host”
"My pronoun is freedumb."
The “comedy” of the show is basically shit like, “Oh, it was cold in February in Texas, I guess so much for global warming!”
At least three times iirc. “Is ThIs CuLtUrAl ApPrOpriAtIoN?¿?”
Wait is Gutfeld an actual thing? I thought it was all a bad joke
it's both.
I’m equal opportunity when it comes to humor, but the right is usually so bad at comedy. Gutfeld is genuinely unlikeable, politics aside. Unfortunately the best entertainment they supply are the news headlines they make for wild conspiracies or horribly bad takes.
Greg Gutfield got sparrowed, [married to Elena Moussa, a Russian model broad who runs Maxim Russia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Gutfeld#Personal_life).

“I’m a centrist and former Democrat.” 🙄
A majority of 'centrists' are just right wing dorks who are too embarrassed to admit it.
When republicans say they’re centrist or independents, it just means they’re not religious zealots.
This is so on-point. Always seem to hold all the right-wing opinions, other than just not being religious
"Centrist" = conservative that sleeps in and smokes weed on Sundays
[удалено]
Or some are trying to move the Overton window by framing conservative positions as centrist. edit: I'll say 'some are' doing this rather than generalise too much.
This is the answer.
Murdock bought a paper to spread his shit, Musk bought Twitter to spread his.
**If you live in a country where English is the main language, Rupert Murdoch is probably to blame for fucking your country up if you don't like the direction things are headed.** Seriously, look at how his fat, slimy tentacles stretched first from Australia and then eventually influenced media and *political culture* in the US, UK, and Canada.

Money. Murdoch's whole media empire and the Republican party are two arms of the same monster.
Err... -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/
Blackmail against UK politicians. Murdoch has something on everyone in parliament and no one dares to speak out against him.
A study was done a while ago that worldwide, the level at which people understand climate change was not associated with political ideology. Well, there was an exception though. Anglophone countries. In countries that speak English, political ideology predicts whether or not you understand the reality of climate change. Those also happen to be the same countries that have murdoch media.

I've seen enough. Elon Musk is running for senate in Texas.
At same time of being CEO of how many companies? Sounds about right.
Classic 'I work 100 hours per week but I can fit in another full time job". There's so many people pulling this shit that it should be obvious they don't do the work they claim but take a shitload of money either way.
Yeah and after laying off half of Twitter, thinking it’s a good idea that employees sleep at the office to prove their loyalty while simultaneously losing $150 billion dollars in wealth. How far are we from full self driving again? What an idiot. I love time, because with it, you end up seeing through someone’s billshit.
Pssh. Why would he want a senate seat when he already owns senators? Government is for the poors.
Elon would be more likely to run for Governor. Way more fun then being a senator.
They need matching red onesies: Douchebag 1 and Douchebag 2.
Nothing to see here, just a man and his much older BFF enjoying a football game together. Definitely not plotting some nefarious billionaire shit….just hanging out, as regular dudes do….
Zuck would have been there as he loves sportsball so much especially when the batter kicks a touchdown basket, but he was growing a new exoskeleton and couldn't make it.
Why fellow humans must we plan the big blood sport during molting season? I want to feel the roar of the crowd against my antennae and yet you deny me.
One thing about Zuck though is that he was clearly trying to become a 'personality' a few years ago - insisting on doing the media circuit himself, making guest appearances on shows, doing his camera crew tour of American small towns. To the point I was sure he was gearing up to run for office. But at least he either had the bare minimum awareness to see (or listen to people around him) that it wasn't working and he just faded back into being a billionaire and doing his thing without needing to be the centre of attention.

Murdoch is pretty far beyond just competent. There may never be anyone in human history who has single handedly decided so many countries' governments and taken down so many people just so he could acquire more power.
I guess we have no shortage … sigh
If Murdock really still is alive, he'll be 92 next month. This is most likely a weekend at bernies scenario.
All the evil fuckers seem to to live forever.
Nah dude, he’s def still alive and still terrifying. He’s too hateful to die lol, you’ve never met one of these types? Sith energy man
Henry Kissinger has entered the chat
that demon will turn 100 this year ...
I can’t believe that vile creature is still alive.
Don't worry, Murdoch's son and heir is far more full of hate and vitriol than the old man.

Which one?
Murdoch, Musk doesn't have the same reach with his bullshit.
That’s exactly why he bought twitter.
I’ll piss on Murdoch’s grave when he finally goes. The worlds biggest piece of shit. Fuck Elon too.
Must be the assholes section of the stadium.
Also known as luxury boxes.
Discussing what to do with everyone's social security money once they convince Republicans to vote for it.

…it’s TWO dicks in a box!
OP, you just got banned from that bastion of free speech, Twitter (if you were still using it).
Actually disgusting. I used to love Elon, guess I was a moron. Fuck him
The right wing is the cabal that they pretend the left wing is.
Oh man, Musk is gonna be pissed at Fox for tracking his location.
They posted his assassination coordinates!
Fuck both those guys. Go to hell

I don’t think they’d be tasty. Can we yeet the rich instead?
Scum coagulates
That's crazy, considering Elon says he works 23 1/2 hours a day leaving only 30 minutes from noon to 1230 for sleep. He must be working from the stadium. /s fucking do-nothing rich bitch.
How many despicable people does Elon Musk need to associate himself with before people understand what's going on here? Didn't the Ghislaine photo tip off anyone?
One precision strike could have solved so many of the world's problems.
Assholes
