According to Aussie ex-PMs Malcolm Turnbull and Kevin Rudd, and climate activist Michael Mann, the climate Deniers of Murdoch Media were responsible for the unrest which led to the January 6th storming of the US Capitol Building.
‘Utterly unaccountable’: Turnbull labels News Corp the most powerful political actor in Australia
By Lisa Visentin
Updated April 12, 2021 — 12.45pmFormer prime minister Malcolm Turnbull says Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp poses a real threat to Australian democracy, claiming it has surpassed the Coalition or Labor as the most powerful political force in the country.
…
In his evidence to the inquiry in February, Mr Rudd said News Corp used systematic character assassinations to cultivate a culture of fear among politicians, and engaged in campaign journalism against issues such as action on climate change. At the same public hearing, News Corp Australia executive chairman Michael Miller dismissed Mr Rudd and Mr Turnbull’s criticisms as “a convenient diversion from their own failings” during his evidence.
…
“This is the fundamental problem that we’re facing: the most powerful political actor in Australia is not the Liberal Party or the National Party or the Labor Party. It is News Corp. And it’s utterly unaccountable,” Mr Turnbull said.
“It’s controlled by an American family and their interests are no longer, if they ever were, coextensive with our own.”
…
He said the political might of the Murdoch empire represented “an absolute threat to our democracy” — a threat that he said America had already witnessed on January 6 when rioters stormed the US Capitol building. Mr Turnbull said the Murdoch-controlled Fox News had amplified the civil unrest that led to rioting, by promoting the lie that President Joe Biden had stolen the election from Donald Trump.
“If you don’t think that isn’t a threat to American democracy and undermining the strength and capability of our most important ally. Then, you know, you are kidding yourself,” Mr Turnbull said.

Michael Mann has also joined the anti-Murdoch frenzy.
Not to be outdone, even the Anti-Defamation League’s Jonathan Greenblatt has jumped in with their own wild accusations. The ADL are suggesting the Murdoch Media is promoting anti-Jewish conspiracy theories, based on their painfully convoluted interpretation of something Tucker Carlson said. In my opinion the ADL’s wholehearted participation in what looks like a political lynch mob is particularly shameful, given their stated objectives and history.
Pulling together is the aim of despotism and tyranny. Free men pull in all kinds of directions. Terry Pratchett
If there is a genuine current threat to democracy, that threat is the growing obsession establishment liberals appear to have with shutting down the voices of people who disagree with them, whether that disagreement be political policy or climate science.
If Turnbull, Rudd, Mann or the ADL could demonstrate a single incident when Murdoch media genuinely incited violence, or incited people to pull down Australian democracy or the US Republic, there would be no need for insubstantial accusations and wild allegations. Inciting mob violence and insurrection is a crime. News Corp executives would be in jail awaiting trial, with a video playback of their alleged crime repeatedly looping on the cable feeds of rival media outlets.
But the liberal lynch mob have got nothing.
So why are they so keen to fling wild insubstantial accusations to try to silence their opponents? In my experience, only sore losers demand their opponents be silenced.
Given the smell of desperation coming from Mann, Rudd and Turnbull, I think we can safely say they are not acting like people who believe they are winning.
A person claiming that they are not convinced that Biden won the election fair and square obliterates that persons objective credibility for me. I’m not saying there was no fraud because there obviously was but I spent 2 months on my forum investigating every iota of data and every allegation I found(many of them concocted or distorted) and am convinced the data clearly shows that Biden won by any reasonable objective standard. The bigger problem that I have is not with the real voting fraud…..I have tons of individual cases but with so many proven false allegations of fraud that never happened. Entities trying to find the truth do not make up lies to get there. We were promised that the evidence was there but they never delivered it(if I’m wrong, then show it to us right now). They only repeated that it was there hundreds and hundreds of times for 2 months until people, just believed it. This is how you brainwash people. This actually, is why so many people believe in the fake climate crisis. 3 decades of telling us there is a climate crisis and after awhile, people assume that it must be so…………..without ever seeing the actual authentic evidence(extreme weather that has always happened and simulations of a future atmosphere 100 years from now is ZERO evidence of a climate crisis)
However, this is real evidence………….of the current climate optimum:
Carbon Dioxide Fertilization Greening Earth, Study Finds

These people are trying to connect groups that believe the election was stolen….which we can verify that it wasn’t……….. with the belief that there is no climate crisis. Don’t let them do it. One belief is totally wrong and the other one is totally right.
We’ll never know for sure. Some incidents such as Republican election observers being blocked from viewing Pennsylvania counting really stink. You have to be within 2-3 feet of vote counters to catch cheats, especially if the cheating consists of feeding the same votes through the counting machine multiple times.
What is your rational explanation for early-morning spikes of tens of thousands of votes that all went to Zhou Bai-Den, and in one state, that happened after counting mail-in ballots had supposedly been halted several hours earlier?
What is your explanation for blocks of votes that were subtracted from Pres. Trump and ended up in the Bai-Den total? Negative votes makes sense to you?
Why do the voting systems store votes as floating-point numbers instead of integers?
“Why do the voting systems store votes as floating-point numbers instead of integers?”
That’s a good question. I want to know how that 0.5 voter voted.
“A person claiming that they are not convinced that Biden won the election fair and square obliterates that persons objective credibility for me.”
Here’s just a couple of thoughts. Most of these elections have not had a thorough investigation. They need a complete audit. Most of this election evidence is required to be held for a year at least. Was any of it destroyed? If it was, then fraud is the answer in my book. How about changing election laws in violation of the US Constitution? Violation of law in my book, not fair and square. Blocking poll watchers from actually doing there job. Yes once again, and in my opinion, should be grounds to declare fraud. Blocking investigations and audits. Yes, and again should be enough to declare fraud. Kicking poll watchers out to count more ballots. Yes, and again should be grounds to declare fraud. Maybe the laws aren’t tough enough and the penalties not severe enough. People involved in running elections should be held to higher standard. Given these events, the appearance of impropriety should be enough to invalidate enough D votes to change the elections.
Mann, Rudd, and Turnbull are three major dangers to and opponents of Democracy.
There are many threats to democracy, always will be, but doubtless the worst currently come from the left. Here in canada we haven’t had a budget in two years, so many things suspended, no accountability.
And the worst part is that a surprising number seem to approve of these actions.
Maybe we really are too stupid to live
Grandiose Narcissism
Three cretins all in a row! Rudd and Turncoat were disasters for Australia.
I have counted a thousand article telling us I must believe climate change is man made without a single on having any of the key words required to include any explanation and examined a huge number to confirm none are included by error. I read what amounts to a training guide written by Goebbels or someone in his group and this level of brainwashing is a total rejection of democracy in his estimation. Surely if I am wrong that climate scientists are total anal orifices without the ability of an eleven year old of my generation I should have the right to ask my questions publicly and get answers as to why I am wrong not just be told I must believe.
A few days ago I took a photo of or lawn and a new patch of grass was totally clear of snow while the remainder was admittedly lightly but totally covered. I measured the temperatures with an infra red thermometer and there was between 0.7 and 1.3 degrees difference between newer and established grass. This shows any reading over grass is not usable as reference data for any purpose where better than a degree or so accuracy is required or double that for comparing two values.
Surely it ought to be a legal right to have questions like this answered not to get an abusive and offensive label like denier for making a simple observation.
the three stooges!
and ones a bloody ringer !
stand in Mann for flimflam?
Funny how anyone telling the truth is such a problem for the left.
CNN on the other hand is total professional impartiality

So something you have to pay for directly is the politically most powerful rather than something you pay far more for in taxes that is broadcast to every home for ‘free’?
Turnbull was responsible for the Guardian opening in Australia. Pravda on Thames.
