When did it become news that talking heads on these political shows lie?
It became news when they are being sued by Dominion Voting Systems for spreading lies about them involving the election, to suit a driven agenda that goes completely against what they are supposed to be standing for.
It must be hard for some of you guys in the USA to imagine, but over 50 years ago when Rupert Murdoch's only major media asset was The News (newspaper) in Adelaide, he was a genuine justice campaigner for a man wrongly convicted, with literally nothing to gain from it apart from a wrong being righted. This was long before he became a major Australian media Baron, let alone the monster he would become in the UK and eventually the USA. That was a long, long, time ago, and a very different person.
The more powerful and older Murdoch has become, the more twisted and immoral he is (along with those who happily serve him). The whole notions of honesty, (real) free speech and justice have fallen by the wayside in the unquenchable thirst for even more money, even more power, and leaving some kind of twisted legacy like a dog wanting to somehow lift his leg high enough to piss on the whole world to mark it forever.
It's just one more gift from my little dark corner of the world to everyone else. God bless Australia.
