The TV series 'The Rise of the Murdoch Dynasty' will soon be screened on ABC TV.
"Rupert Murdoch, Dick Cheney, former CIA director James Woolsey, former
US Treasury head Larry Summers, former US Energy Secretary Bill
Richardson, hedge fund boss Michael Steinhardt and Jacob Rothschild have
something in common. They are all on the board of oil and gas explorer,
Genie Energy. Gas industry whistleblower Simone Marsh explores Rupert Murdoch’s fossil fuel interests.
Psychological warfare, or psywar, is the use of propaganda against an enemy, supported by such military, economic or political measures as may be required. Such propaganda is generally intended to demoralise the enemy, to break his will to fight or resist, and sometimes render him favourably disposed to one’s position.
Psychological warfare, winning the “hearts and minds” of the civil population, has been integral to the climate war.
And Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation has been integral to the propaganda war; so much so that its Australian business has come under serious pressure this year amid anger over the coverage of the bushfires by major titles The Australian, the Herald Sun, Daily Telegraph, the Courier Mail and Foxtel’s Sky News.
Overnight, Rupert Murdoch’s son James publicly rebuked Murdoch’s Fox News over its climate denialism. Last week, a senior executive, Emily Townsend, took the extraordinary step of going public to criticise her own media organisation for its “dangerous” coverage of climate change.
For a start, News Corp companies in Australia have extensive
commercial arrangements with multinational oil and gas corporations.
They take big advertising dollars, although how big remains a secret.
Their newspapers stage “roundtables” or corporate conferences at which
journalists and executives mingle with fossil fuel executives. Yet,
rival media Nine Entertainment and its Australian Financial Review masthead does the same.
Where News is different is in Murdoch’s direct financial interest in oil and gas exploration in the Middle East, investments which also compromise New Corp’s coverage of Middle East politics and Israeli expansionism.

The Murdoch press
has always been avidly in favour of fossil fuels and notorious for
spreading doubt about the science of global warming. It is worth
looking, therefore, at the formal links between Rupert Murdoch and the
oil and gas sector.
Where News is different is in Murdoch’s direct financial interest in oil and gas exploration in the Middle East, investments which also compromise New Corp’s coverage of Middle East politics and Israeli expansionism.
Murdoch has aligned himself with fossil fuel interests globally via the American Australian Association (AAA), and Genie Oil and Gas. Genie oil and gas is a division of Genie Energy and has been involved plans to frack in Israel. Its big project now,
however, is exploring for oil in the Golan Heights, which is disputed
territory once controlled by Syria."....................................."

Murdoch represents the worst side of capitalism and his media is manipulative and misleading
