James Murdoch Blasts “Media Outlets That Propagate Lies” In FT Interview
James Murdoch, the renegade son of Murdoch family dynasty who broke with the empire last summer, has publicly denounced “media property owners” whose election denialism helped lead to the violent storming of the U.S. Capitol last week that resulted in five death.
“The sacking of the Capitol is proof positive that what we thought was dangerous is indeed very, very much so. Those outlets that propagate lies to their audience have unleashed insidious and uncontrollable forces that will be with us for years,” the youngest Murdoch said in an interview with the Financial Times published Friday.
He didn’t name Fox News but the network run by his father Rupert and brother Lachlan, respectively chairman and CEO of its parent Fox Corp., pushed baseless rumors that President Donald Trump won an election that he had clearly lost. Endless repetition of the lie on Fox, on rival channels that are nipping at Fox from the right, and by Trump and his allies, so inflamed the president’s base that they attacked Congress, threatened lawmakers and temporarily stopped them from certifying president-elect Joe Biden’s electoral victory.
