60 minutes is still waiting for that Rupert interview 26 years later lol

[@useranonymous9274]

The fact that Ted Turner was all that stood between Murdoch owning CNN and FOX is a spooky thought.

[@trashpanda314]

That “Turner has a history of ranting” absolutely killed me! 😂 and that was before Family Guy. Lol

[@alexthompson9516]

Ted Turner was legendary for his uncensored, often hilarious hot takes. They used to call him the 'Mouth from the South.' I miss him.

[@gabrielgross6498]

And look at all the news channels now.

[@Roger-go6jc]

I nearly vomited all over the Weekend Australian when I bought it at the Newsagent on Saturday. Front page picture of Rupert Murdoch holding the open 'Australian', with the headline 'Enduring resolve to fight for freedom and the truth'. Yes, it is a Murdoch owned paper after all. To think there was a time when I actually believed that The Australian was a bastion of freedom and the truth. But freedom and the truth and Rupert Murdoch are immiscible. However, there is just something exceedingly nauseating about even daring to headline the same. It's almost like saying Satan goes to church on Sundays... but then he probably does doesn't he. Which is just like Murdoch to have the gall to post a header that is the opposite of what he does. This man alone has sold a large population of the western world and this planet a lie, for decades, over the evidence-based knowledge that the petrochemical Industry knew of in regard to climate change. He was instrumental in the media control and character assassination of those that could have brought about influence to make changes 20-30 years ago in reversing what we now know is in our face climate change. This man is responsible for that, this supposed man that fights for 'freedom and truth'. They brought Nazi's to the Haig for crimes against humanity. I think this one nearly tops the bill.

Ted Turner was so right. Murdoch…in news purely for the bucks. Disgusting.

Nice Timing, CBS again

9:37 How Ya Like Us Now, Turner? 😂

6:56 the karma after CBS lost the NFC package to Fox in 1994 before buying the AFC package in 1998

Murdoch belongs "down under" with his best mate. Guess who?

Come on Ruppi. Give the people what they really want.

Boy how the media has fallen since

Yep

He made a fortune with lies, deceit, and distortion.

Well, Ted was so right, now wasn’t he?

Global warming?? 😂😂😂😂 tell me you watch mainstream media without telling me 😂😂😂😂

Can't wait for him to be inground. Then he can bend that knee to God and have to give account hope he is ready

[@bambinosto]

Don't forget Aslan, and R'hllor

Give what account?

Darn, I thought this was an obit piece.

Stay classy. Par for the course.

Everyone hates Rupert

There is a special place reserved for him in hell!!

Ted Turner? Probably so.

The irony of it being Mike Wallace presenting this is just too hilarious! 😂

[@MilkyWayGalaxyy]

Typical conservative. He puts entrepreneurship and making money above integrity, morals and having class...and then is the first one to talk about "god". Smh

[@useranonymous9274]

I bet he would have called jesus a socialist

[@MilkyWayGalaxyy]

@useranonymous9274 Jesus was just a con man. That is why the first gospel was written over 40 years after jesus died. If Jesus really was God, then someone would have written about him immediately. Also the Bible has Absolutely Zero Concrete Evidence which equals Zero Credibility

[@thespaceram2879]

​@@useranonymous9274 God=Lord Jesus Christ doesn't side with extremist communists either way to the left socialist nor way to the right fascist nor any other kind of evildoers. He holds them all accountable later if they keep oppressing others and don't stop. And remember God Almighty=Lord Jesus Christ is with a real Big G.

[@useranonymous9274]

@@thespaceram2879 Why would you claim you speak for a god or believe you understand their intent? Respectfully it comes off as a bit delusional to others and you might want to reconsider how you craft your message. I may not believe but I have converted others who I believe are psychopaths as an effort to prevent violence but I will never believe myself as it looks like a a hokey cult to me but if it brings you comfort then believe it by all means 😀

[@thespaceram2879]

@@useranonymous9274 It has nothing to do with any religion at all. It is a relationship with God=Lord Jesus Christ. During the ancient times God=Lord Jesus Christ revealed to Moses and His other prophets what to write about Him while His Holy Bible book was being completed. This includes the prophesies. The proof is in the prophesies. Which only God=Lord Jesus Christ can fulfill. He has fulfilled all of the ones in the Old Testament part of the Bible. Including the Messianic prophesy. As it was also fulfilled by God=Lord Jesus Christ as stated in the New Testament part of the Bible as well. As He will fulfill the last two remaining prophesies in it as also mentioned in Revelation in the New Testament part as well. The next prophesy being judgement day God=Lord Jesus Christ's return. That day God=Lord Jesus Christ will defeat satan and his antichrist and their world dictatorship. He will restore the war torn earth. There will be a new earth and a new heaven. He will rule Israel and all of the nations on earth like in heaven and His kingdom will never end. He will also summon both the living and the dead that day. Everyone will be present. Even you. Those that have willingly accepted God=Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior and have personally confessed to Him their wrongdoings and have repented. Those will be spared of His judgement. Those will have fellowship with Him. Those will inherit eternal life from Him. Those will be of His seed and of Abraham's seed. While those that are either unrepentant wrongdoers or disbelievers , those will be judged of their wrongdoings by God=Lord Jesus Christ and then His angels will throw the poor condemned into the lake of fire and brimstone. Which resides down beneath the dark void. It is the second death. And satan and his rebel angels will be enchained and imprisoned in the dark void for a thousand years. After a thousand years have passed , they will be let out shortly to decieve the world again for a brief time. They are going to decieve many people into attacking the Holy city of Israel and then God=Lord Jesus Christ will call out fire from Heaven to consume them all. And then He will judge satan and his rebel angels for their evil rebellion towards Him and then His angels will throw satan and his rebel angels into the lake of fire. Where they will be forever with all of the people that they decieved before. It is the final prophesy. If you didn't know then now you know. (God=Lord Jesus Christ's return is nearing much closer when the Holy Temple is rebuilt at the Holy site in Israel.)

I know he did a lot of bad, but I do think a lot of his outlets got people who otherwise would not read or watch the news to do so. Being informed (if biased) is still better than being UNinformed.

God loves you and takes care of you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this great universe and has complete control over it. And the greatest loss that a person loses in this life is that he lives while he does not know God who created him, knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. The great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and then you have the choice to believe in it or not. I advise you on this now before you do not have time to do that.

Calling the little fake man God instead of Allah in Western countries won't help.
