Rupert Murdoch's media empire is realigning itself as a steadfast supporter of Donald Trump, employing an aggressive approach that not only covers news but also incites direct action and creates crises.
Rupert Murdoch's media empire is reshaping its role as a steadfast strategic ally to U.S. President Donald Trump. The outlets under Murdoch, notably the New York Post and Fox News, have adopted a combative stance that goes beyond mere news coverage to embody direct incitement and crisis creation. Writer Jim Bartholomew highlights that these platforms have evoked the rhetoric of 'war journalism' reminiscent of the Falklands War in 1982, with sensational headlines like 'No Mercy' and 'Death to the Devil' echoing military strikes against Iranian targets. This reflects the empire's aim to rally American public support behind a hardline right-wing vision while stripping opponents of any popular sympathy.
