Kevin Rudd says Murdoch’s vision for Australia is US-style division

Josh Butler
Political Editor

Kevin Rudd has made blistering accusations that News Corp runs a “protection racket” for the government and acts to “radicalise” Australians, drawing links between founder Rupert Murdoch and the deadly insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6.

“Murdoch is, by any objective measure, not a fit and proper person to control a media empire in Australia,” former prime minister Rudd wrote in a federal parliamentary submission.

“The Liberal Party is now at risk of becoming a fully captured subsidiary of the Murdoch media.”

Mr Rudd made the claims in a scorching submission to the Senate’s communications committee, which is currently running an inquiry into ‘Media diversity in Australia’.

The media is certainly divisive.

It doesn't read well for News Corp. But the woman now complaining worked for them for 29 years and cooperated so she could keep working for them. It appears being an accomplice is ok if you are getting paid for it.

All of the journos who gave evidence said that the culture changed during their time woking in the slimepool, that it had not always been as toxic as it became.

But very obviously it was toxic during a period of time she was there, and remained there. And she contributed by doing what was required of her. Her photography work appeared in The Australian, Courier Mail, and Cairns Post, and she claims she was discriminated against because she is a woman. Yet she stayed and cooperated because she wanted to keep her job. She went along with the cultural change for some period of time. While News Corp clearly needs to be held accountable, she's not squeaky clean either.

It's one reason why the Slime King's domination of the media is so dangerous - there are **bleep**all other opportunities for senior journos who want to practise their craft at an appropriate level.

Here you go, ladies, and don't forget to keep buying his papers, subscribing to his pay channels and voting for his pet political party. It's all disturbing testimony but the journalist drops some real bombshells at the 38 minute mark. Advance Australia Fair!

Murdoch and the LNP. A threat to media diversity, quality journalism and the Australian way of life.

Would it surprise anyone to know that not one single Murdoch Slime Rag - not a single one - reported Rudd's speech to the National Press Club?

Without Murdoch the "Let's invade Iraq" gig would have been a lot harder to pull off.

Iraq and the Rupert Murdoch connection: The media mogul's network of pro-war campaigners

Back in 2003, the Murdoch-owned press beat the drum for the Iraq War, but few of the key players got a mention in the Chilcot report

Andy McSmith | @andymcsmith | Friday 08 July 2016 10:27

The screaming headline on the front of today’s edition of The Sun added to the shredding of Tony Blair’s reputation. “Weapons of Mass Deception,” it blared. That was bit rich, considering the role of The Sun and the rest of the global media empire owned by Rupert Murdoch in the run-up to the Iraq war.

Paul Dacre, editor of the Daily Mail, summed it up in his evidence to the Leveson inquiry – “I’m not sure that the Blair government – or Tony Blair - would have been able to take the British people to war if it hadn’t been for the implacable support provided by the Murdoch papers. There’s no doubt that came from Mr Murdoch himself.”

Interesting clip. Wow, Anna Rogers sure gives a horrid account of what it was like working for them. I hope that her life isn't made a misery with harassment and worse as a result.
