"The Atlantic, Top Newspapers, and MSNBC Unite to Prevent Second Trump Term Threatening America's Existence"

The Atlantic, along with other major media outlets such as The Washington Post and The New York Times, has launched a campaign against a potential second term for Donald Trump. The Atlantic's entire issue is dedicated to the dangers of another Trump presidency, with top staff writers expressing their concerns. While some stories about Trump are fair game, the media's relentless focus on him has led to accusations of bias and opposition party behavior. Trump's claims of a rigged election and his use of provocative language provide ammunition for his critics, while President Biden receives more favorable coverage.

"The End of an Era: Rupert Murdoch's Legacy and the Future of Fox"

Rupert Murdoch, the media mogul, has announced his resignation as chairman of Fox Corp. and News Corp., sparking discussions about his long-lasting influence in the UK and Australia. Critics argue that Murdoch's control over leaders in both countries has been pernicious, with allegations of phone-hacking scandals, disregard for press ethics, and a negative impact on British culture and democracy. Supporters credit Murdoch for saving the British newspaper industry and his love for journalism. The correlation between Murdoch's support and political power is evident, with The Sun newspaper boasting a 100% record of backing winning candidates since 1979. While his influence has waned with the decline of newspaper dominance and the rise of social media, many believe that Murdoch will continue to exert control through his son, Lachlan Murdoch.
