Australian Broadcasting Corporation did an investigation into Rupert, Fox, & Trump.

2 parts



Word in Australia is that US TV networks are in a bidding war to buy this 4 Corners report from the Australian ABC.

While there are apparently several networks interested, the only name out in public so far is CNN. Someday it might get a bigger audience in the USA than the mighty Fogbow readers.

Of course, Fox is filing complaints with the ABC oversight committee claiming left-wing bias. But the ABC currently has a very right leaning board, and I suspect the lawyers have been over the reports like flies on excrement before it went to air.
Has everybody heard about the bird?

Right. I can’t speak to, agree with, even look at someone from a particular political party. Ppl aren’t human any more. If you’re black & a Democrat tells u to shove marbles up ur ass, you simply have to. If another party tells u to look out for that bus, stand there & get hit

Ah, yes. That does explain it, thanks! :thumbsup:

To square the circle for anyone still wondering, Nicki Minaj said that her cousin's friend in Trinidad became impotent and had his testicles swell up from the covid vaccine just before his wedding and his fiancé dumped him. So beware the vax. A number of people pointed out to her that it was MUCH more likely that said cousin's friend in Trinidad was fooling around on his fiancé and picked up an STD. Cue the outrage, Tucker Carlson picks up the story and defends Minaj. Minaj retweets Carlson, and people point out that he's a big douchebag white nationalist. Pick up above...

Ass marbles I tells ya! Which FoxNews, predictably, apparently ran with.

Also, Reuters: Nicki Minaj's COVID-19 vaccine 'swollen testicles' claim is false, says Trinidad health minister

“Piers Morgan to launch new show on Rupert Murdoch-owned network”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-58586493

"Piers is the broadcaster every channel wants but is too afraid to hire," Murdoch said in a statement.”

‘"Rupert Murdoch has been a constant and fearless champion of free speech and we are going to be building something new and very exciting together," Morgan added.’

In other words, Fox realized the Trump era is over and the network is losing adverts and eyeballs with the exclusive Trump ball-licking opinion show hosts they have now. Morgan can't stand Trump... so is this the "balance" they always proclaimed?

I give Morgan 6 mos or less before cancellation.

pure speculation my side - Murdoch starts a fresh "moderate" news site and keeps Fox as crazy as possible for the US RWNJs.

I'd like to see 5000 liberals sitting in lawn chairs with a cold beverage, laughing and pointing at the 47 idiots who actually show up.

Let's see...

Pompeo is there to rewrite Afghanistan history
Trump is there to babble incoherent nonsense in the hope that is father will call and say he loves him
Cruz is there to mewl some righteous indignation about something spelled out in his Alpha-Bits this morning
Smith is there to explain that Republicans are the party of fiscal conservatism, until his ever elongating nose leaves him unable to breathe.

So I probably don't need to watch this.

Eric is looking pretty rough. Has anyone told him that he will live longer if he moderates his drug intake?

His brother hasn't died yet, so he probably figures he's good for a few more years. And more to the point, is life even worth living if Daddy doesn't love him?
