    Everything in recent years has gone sideways. Murdoch initially wanted to build Fox News around Obama but was overruled by Roger Ailes according to reports. Ailes wanted to build conservative propaganda networks whereas Murdoch wanted people watching the news.

    Jeff Bezos’s wapo and Murdoch have become allies in exposing the Epstein pedophilia network. And oddly also Walmart. This must have to do with the tariffs and ultimately the economic impact of the tariffs.

      And oddly also Walmart.

      I suspect they might want to present themselves as “fighting for the people, i.e. against Trump”?

      Considering that walmart is heavily connected to the people directly (as they are daily customers), it is very important for them to get along well with the local citizens. That is especially so as maybe, otherwise people get dissatisfied with “big companies” and “big chains” and that anger might last out against walmart, as it is a big chain?
