James Murdoch, son of Fox News mogul Rupert Murdoch, said news outlets that promoted 'lies' are to blame for US Capitol riot

, James and his wife Kathryn were frustrated "with some of the News Corp and Fox coverage" on climate change as wildfires ripped through most of Australia last year.which according to its website

, aims to promote initiatives related to democracy, voter participation, and climate change among others. In a separate statement that was published after the FT interview, Murdoch and his wife wrote: "Spreading disinformation — whether about the election, public health or climate change — has real-world consequences."

"Many media property owners have as much responsibility for this as the elected officials who know the truth but choose instead to propagate lies. We hope the awful scenes we have all been seeing will finally convince those enablers to repudiate the toxic politics they have promoted once and forever," they added,

That's not what the rioters are claiming hope they sue Fox

Onlytalking vaguely about media outlets that spread false news. Your father Media Empire has not only Fox News in addition,The SUN in UK and US, the Times in UK. News coming from most of these Media corporations are false 24 hours a day, propaganda addressed to weak minds

FOX promoted lies, always has, always will. BAN THEM!

And Fox is still playing to the nation's basest elements. What a losing strategy. The deplorables have already migrated to OAN and Newsmax . IngrahamAngle , seanhannity tuckercarlson couldn't bring themselves to be decent even for 1 day. stopthelies BoycottFoxNewsSponsors

Will Fox news list who all propagated the lies and what were those lies.

I give him credit for speaking truth to power. I’m sure daddy and his bro won’t be happy. But Rupert and his son Lachlan are culpable in the INSURRECTION that caused 5 deaths. What are they going to do without Trump They’ll come up with some other stupid dupe to get behind

MarisolTorresRS Well, Fox can’t be on this list because they don’t broadcast any news.

Everyone is playing, the right and left! I believe very little if what I see in the news and have, in the last six months, mostly turned it off. Country needs to turn back to the values that made us great in the first place. God, family, country.

MSM is enemy of the people. They are in bed with the Communist Democrats. Good luck America!

So the wsj would be part of the lying.

Does he know what his father promoted for decades?

The_Nabster Sounds like he knows how FOX operates

I guess he needs to talk to his team. TuckerCarlson seanhannity IngrahamAngle etc. etc. etc. and make a change.

Kettles Black 😉

i am silver spoon billionaire based on propaganda and trash my dad built, thank u and carry on. putz

So Fox is the new holy, clean and non biased news chanel. What a load of lies

Thats why Fox is done bad leadership ignorants

It's well known father and son don't see eye to eye. That's gotta be a good thing.

Don’t know who this dude is but he broke that shit DOWN!! Listen especially the ones that need to hear it!!

Damn this boy is braindead

This is absolutely on 🎯 Journalists should be looking inside the industry as a huge causation for GOP's radicalism and sedition.

Ironic

😂😂😂 this is clearly a complete and utter continuation of those lies, Murdoch runs the biggest propaganda media empire in the world.

No one watches Fox anymore

Liberal news media language and false claims are daily inciting violence in America!

Correct

Ok thanks Pot it's me Kettle! 🤔

Lol America is so fucked I love it.

Yes, bring back & update the Fairness Doctrine

Welp. Let's get in gear then honey. Your father is a horrible human. Come on man

How’s your DaddyYo on this subject after selling his soul to put and promote “Deplorable Don” under Constitutional Oath in the highest office in the land?

Is that an admission of guilt?

TheValuesVoter Like, his news outlets?

And they need to experience financial consequences for doing that. It’s the only thing they care about.

sarah_meinzer Passing the buck

Now I see an American, if a President urges his people to enjoy their rights and the people over enjoy it by causing mayhem do we blame the people or the President. Again those who promoted the fake news and lies should also be blamed for fanning the fire(mayhem)

Damn, a TRUE CONFESSION OF GUILT!!!

True statement

That's exactly what Fox news did.

questlove Ppl you can’t make this shit up

Like FOXS news

So he is pointing at his org

questlove Yea thats part of it

Oh really?!! 😐

You know that’s Fox News right?

Good on him

giaolson6 Best go straight to the 'entertainment'side of Fox News my dude

hollyrpeete Oh that's ironic 🙄

If he agrees to it then no other dem has an excuse to!

And he is right

Fox, are your ears burning?

questlove Umm he should know

questlove That makes an awkward family dinner. 'hey dad...so...i was thinking...can we stop ruining America and democracy?' 'i don't love you' 'Okay. I know, but still...'

questlove

questlove There used to be rules about news having to be truthful. I think we need those rules back!

questlove After Trump was elected a huge swath of people crocheted hats and didn’t swarm the Capitol with weapons, attack police, and try to violently overthrow our government.

vexwerewolf Somebody get him a mirror

Huh?

Plesse be sure to smile today.

The lawyer said Chansley and others who entered the Capitol did so at the instruction of President Donald Trump

He needs to have a conversation with his dad.

What about news outlets that had ‘entertainment’ and entertainers rather than reporters? Does that not count as lies?

Someone should tell James Murdoch that his father's company-Fox News-has been spreading lies these last 4 years

ConvictHisEnablers like Trump family attorney Michael J. Desmond appointed Chief Counsel IRStaxpros allowed Trump weasel out of IRS audit that would have prevented all this. The Covid19 deaths, separated children and riot blood is on his hands 🙌 too

Giving TrumpTreason the biggest megaphone to promote his lies & continue to do so for his tenure are just fueling fire. It’s “We love you, you’re special”, “Very fine ppl on both sides”, “Stand back & stand by” that are to blame!

Let’s not pretend that CNN, NBC, the NYTimes and the rest, aren’t complicit.

hollyrpeete It seems every family has at least one voice of reason.

macasu Would only give any eyes on his words if he actually named those news outlets. He knows the biggest one.

It's Rupert's business model. LIES, DISTORTION, RACISM.

It's about time. Fox news has been creating an alternate reality in this country for 20 years. Now - how will he use his ill-gotten gains to destroy the beast he helped to create?

Like CNN?

Then take action!! or these are just words, or another storyline in HBO's Succession. Let hope for the ladder.

K so when’s he gonna stop

If you feel so terribly about it James, maybe you should forfeit your daddy‘s fortune that he made propagating those lies.

Have the guts to name Fox news

I still hope for advertisers to STOP supporting these 'news' outlets. It makes them part of the problem.

Lol...Nothing like putting the blame on someone else...Typical Murdock nonsense...

kennethholland7 Is this a confession?

kennethholland7 His news outlets.

This is not really “news” is it? It’s acknowledgement that the sky is blue, etc, but will make no difference other than he’ll be added to their “enemies list”.

DEFUNDFOXNEWS we have to put some pressure on advertisers who still spend large sums --they have to see they are funding a major tool of radicalization. There's nothing 'conservative about it. It's radicalizing Americans and turning them into violent extremists.

Well, then do something! Talk to daddy. Fire Hannity and Jeanine and all those who continue to lie.

MSNBC, CNN, FOX... those are the worst at spreading lies just to sell ads. The major networks aren't much better, but at least they pretend to give you facts, which are usually one sided versions of events.

RT to GOP..RNC...SenateMajLdr..GOPLeader...FoxNews..FoxandFriends..SeanHannity..TuckerCarlson..Newsmax

Agree 100%. From both sides of the political spectrum. The media commentary are the enemy of 50% of the population - and they don’t care about being that way either.

'right-wing' 'news' outlets

Very righteous of him (Now 🙄)

That’s true, but what is he going to do about it?

Fox News helped a large bit of the propagating of lies that lead to the uprising of our Democracy.

Not a riot, an insurrection.

Hey FoxNews - listen up wankers!

BRAVO, JAMES! ACTUAL BALLS ATTACHED TO A REAL SPINE! Who knew? 😳

It’s unreal. The news is like “what do you mean election laws were changed.. fact check: needs context. *the election laws were changed but not in the way they say*.”

...especially those run by his family 🤦‍♂️

But the news of 2016 is ignored. That is where the lies began Boy James.

😲

He should look in the mirror

Agree 10000000000000% I had to overhear far more of it than I’ve ever wanted to for over a decade. Trump just coalesced the branding- this fire got lit by right wing infotainment a long time ago.

What? It’s like A schizophrenic saying the voices in his head are in someone else’s head. What is this foolishness.
