What's Murdoch's game then? While he's putting the boot into Johnson for being lazy (he is lazy but its worse than that - see his speech) here, Fox is cheering on the Trump supporting Social Distancing is Communism crowd.

Murdoch has no game, he just wants to sell news and make a profit.

idunnosomename

the above is true. he will only support politicians if it means he can sell papers and profit.

while the article is paywalled, the twitter thread is public, and its pretty boot-in

I can see a lot of "imagine how much worse it would be under Corbyn" comments.

My favourite is "tough you lost". Okay, so you have the right to kill us then?




Dan Hodges is just unbelievably thick isn't he?

Why are you investigating that aircrash? We don't need to take lessons from planes that crashed are you stupid or something????

chveik

god I can't wait to have those blue tickers working in the fields instead of those poor Romanians.

idunnosomename

i do believe dan hodges is just utterly exceptionally thick, like the thickest baby ever to be born, but still, he should be sent down a mine. even if there's nothing in the mine. just tell him there is like, gold down there and he needs to find it

In fairness to Jen Williams we've seen insane deference on here to Neil Ferguson from otherwise sceptical and intelligent people, born in part from the difficulty of recognising even what relevant expertise is here.

NEWS? What is this alien concept you talk of?

bgmnts

Can't resize an image but someone put a sign up behind their (I hope) house, on the river trail, which said "If you can read this, go home. 2 of my friends have died of the virus!!"

Made for a nice stroll.

idunnosomename

I've seen "if you can read this go the fuck home!!" in a window. This was on the way to Tesco so even more mental

Maybe they were a tutor for beginner level English?

Shoulders?-Stomach!

QuoteMurdoch has no game, he just wants to sell news and make a profit.

So demonstrably bollocks there is no burden on me to even substantiate the counter argument.

Nope I honestly think Murdoch doesn't care what he puts out as long as he makes money.

This is true but it means something different to 'Murdoch has no game, he just wants to sell news and make a profit.'.

He is cheerleader for what he views as the "winning side"[nb]The establishment.[/nb].

Murdoch has a knack of sniffing which way the wind is blowing then manoeuvring his agenda behind it

Someone on tyne & wear tv advocating reopening coffee shops and leisure and tourist industry to get young people back to work and off basic income

Good luck with that you doofus

Tyne and Wear is a summer town, it needs summer quids.

Young people? Not slaving in low wage misery?

This is intolerable. Open this country up right now.

Denmark are doing 15 billion worth of bailouts but also telling companies that pay massive dividends, buy nack shares or are registered in tax havens to get bent.

I knew there was a reason I like Denmark.  Even though that statue's quite disappointing - not very big.

The end of thread 2, for example, but perhaps I'm being a bit unfair on a certain hog and took the responses the wrong way..
