Fox News and the New York Post are owned by Billionaire Rupert Murdoch.

Remember this headline, only a few days before the British referendum 🇬🇧 on Europe?

The Sun is another lying paper owned by Rupert Murdoch.

This Billionaire ghoul doesn’t even run real news organizations.

          No, but he is a charisma-free piece-of-shit that’s widely despised, and we’re expecting the evil empire to fall to pieces once the guy in charge kicks the bucket. And the reaper is sharpening their scythe for the coffin-dodging bastard.

          Mind you, that’s not the only widely-disappointed group that sentence could apply to at the moment.

            That’s different to the picture we see as Australians. He’s just the same which become evident after winning the battle against his brother.

        He’s 94. If he dies before 100, that’d be nice, but it’d have better for him to die 94 years earlier.

    I also hate police officers but I don’t shoot every one on sight. The dude is running for office, he’s going to be nice. If he wants wild change, he’ll probably go about it slowly and inefficiently since everyone but him will push back.

      Yeah. This also feels like a progressive variant of the “I have a token black friend so I cannot possibly be racist” argument. This photo doesn’t say anything about his opinions on the police.

          https://humanists.international/blog/the-difference-between-muslims-islamists-and-jihadists-explained-by-an-ex-islamist/

          Eta relevant part:

          There’s a small dominant group within the Muslim community that uses hegemonic powers to control the community. The small dominant group is identified as ‘Islamists’. The facts about them are still hardly exposed to the public. Islamists hold threatening and dangerous hidden ideas such as, ‘Only Islam should rule the whole world, Islam is the only solution to all the problems in the world, every activity in the world should be carried out according to the Islamic teachings, all Muslims should follow Islam in toto, Islam should be propagated to everyone in the world, Jihad should be declared against the people who do not accept Islam, sacrificing the lives for the sake of Islam is the greatest honor, etc. They work in different platforms, performing different roles with long-term agendas.

              Calling just* any Muslim Islamist is racist.

              Eta: since you didn’t actually rta, here’s the blurb about the author who wrote the article, given before the article begins:

              Rishvin Ismath is Co-founder and Spokesperson of the Council of Ex-Muslims of Sri Lanka and the only public ex-Muslim in Sri Lanka. Rishvin is currently living in hiding after he escaped multiple attempts of murder by Islamic fundamentalists in his country. You can read his story on Humanists International’s website.

                Im indigenous and there’s a list of shit about what should or shouldn’t offend me. So I’ll leave it up to Muslims, who in any case I am not shitting on. You’re just being pedantic about everyone not sharing your meanings for words that mean different things across the planet. Which I find is so common now and designed almost to make people get offended and fight.

                Go to the Middle East and say Islamist is a bad word and see what they say

                  That would depend if KSA or Syria or Iran.

                  Eta: it’s not my meaning. It’s the meaning. So you’re indigenous. Big whoop. In some places, indigenous are racist toward black people, in other places they aren’t. You’re just trying to make being racist ok because you claim to be indigenous.

    He should hate US pigs, they’re a violent criminal gang of thugs and murderers.
    Certainly wouldn’t want my picture taken with one of them.
    Then again, let’s not forget he’s a dem after all, and will turn out not so left as many hope and others fear.
