Remember how much influence Rupert Mudrock had over politics? He was the king-maker, and nobody dared get off-side with him. I wonder how he and Trump get along.
This wasn't so long ago.
Quote:This story is about the failure of the entire political class. Journalists and politicians, advisers, PR people, writers and lawyers drank Murdoch's champagne, swooned in his company, took his calls and allowed Rebekah Brooks to irradiate them with her crooked little smile. Over more than three decades, the perversion of politics by and for Murdoch became institutionalised, a part of the landscape that no one dared question.
Serious crimes were committed and the police covered them up. Corrupt, or at least badly compromised, relationships became the norm and all but a very few politicians looked the other way, telling themselves this was how things were and always would be.
Was the CIA at all interested in Rupert perverting the course of elections?
I recall him being found guilty of political influence in a European court. Can't find a link, but that doesn't surprise me.
