    Cannot find anything about Murdoch being Jewish but his (much younger) wife is.

    Murdoch has been a staunch Zionist for all his life https://www.jta.org/1999/01/25/default/murdoch-relishes-pro-israel-label

      One of the most fucked-up things about Murdoch is that his father helped fuck up the Gallipoli campaign in 1915 … and that dude was in his fucking mid-30s at the time. Not to mention that the elder Murdoch also helped destroy the career of Australia’s best general from that war, a general who happened to be Jewish.

        No, Churchill fucked up the Gallipoli campaign. Murdoch just ended the suffering of the British, Indian, Canadian, ANZAC, and many other colonial soldiers by revealing the truth. The only time a Murdoch did actual journalism.

          Wait, really? The scifi sleeper hit that got eclipsed by The Matrix because it came out in the same year and had a similar story? I haven’t seen it since I was 15 or so, so I wouldn’t remember anything political from it… Or are you just joking?

                    I think it was phrased like a question, but with no such mark.

      I found the same, but that’s not really enough to describe the Murdochs as being a Jewish family. It’s frankly antisemitic to baselessly say a major media mogul is Jewish.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
