James Murdoch says US media 'lies' unleashed 'insidious forces'

USA has played a key part in preventing and neutering global climate treaties. A big portion of US politicians don't believe the phenomenon even exists.

This is since basically all the conservative news sources in USA have been sourcing their climate stories from thinks tanks funded by oil and coal companies.

There is a very clear connection. Fossil company - think tank - corrupt media - voter - politician - international treaty.

Sacking of the capitol is but a minor blip and oops on this timeline of lie based world views.

Not only is truth not valued but it is aggressively opposed.

Rupert Murdoch, James' father, bears a lot of the blame for a media which is far-right-wing, conservative, anti-science, pro-fossil fuel and anti-climate change.

Fox News (and it's Sky News cousins) have been designated as 'Entertainment' rather than 'News' and therefore not obliged to be truthful. (Florida trial judgement from around 1990.)

He’s fine with profiting off of the creating the monster for 15 years then suddenly clutches his pearls when its made. His voice is the last one anyone should be listening to.

Way to state the obvious to those outside the lie bubble.

Pot, meet kettle.
