Does Murdoch think Putin empowerment by invading Ukraine is a good idea? If not, why is he relaxed (well, relaxed enough not to be exercising any editorial control) about Fox News gee-ing up the Trumpist conservatives into taking Putin's side? Is it really worth the money in the US, or does he think there is money to be made in Russia too? Is he smart enough to admit that Brexit is a populist failure? Surely he doesn't think he has successfully "punished" the Europeans, who he complained he cannot control, by forcing Britain out of the EU? Is he letting Fox's most influential "stars" take Putin's side as a second attempt at punishing Europe for not letting him do whatever he wants?
So many questions. Many brought to mind by David Frum:
" .... any excuse for Putin is an excuse for a war wanted by nobody in the West."
ReplyDeleteWhat a scumbag. He knows full well that his crowd have been trying to provoke war with Russia from the moment that the cold war ended. They are so extreme about it. They don't care. They play the odds and they figure they won't actually be in the city when the nuclear bomb hits.
