"The Murdoch Legacy: A Changing of the Guard at Fox News"

Mehdi Hasan highlights three major ways in which Rupert Murdoch, the right-wing media mogul, has made the world worse. Firstly, Murdoch's media empire played a significant role in promoting the Iraq War, with all 175 Murdoch-owned papers supporting the invasion. Secondly, Murdoch's tabloid newspaper, The Sun, heavily influenced public opinion in favor of Brexit, leading to its narrow victory in the 2016 referendum. Lastly, Fox News, under Murdoch's ownership, laid the groundwork for Donald Trump's rise to power by promoting conspiracy theories and providing him with free airtime. Despite privately acknowledging Trump's lies, Murdoch's network continued to push pro-Trump content for the sake of ratings and financial gain.
