January 24, 2020 “…the entire land of Egypt was destroyed.”    Va’eria 8:20

Australians, despite Rupert Murdoch’s virtual press monopoly there, have figured out that News Corp./Fox is little more than a lunatic propaganda mill dishonestly downplaying the devastation of bushfires ravaging the country and misrepresenting its cause as serial arson rather than climate change. The counterfeit Fox pantomime precisely hews to the Murdoch dogma and, because he actually directs the Republican agenda, many American Jews “do not hearken” (6:12) to acknowledging the fraud that is “balanced” Fox news. Murdoch’s cunning strategy of slandering dissenters from his gospel, inciting fear, deriding social justice and democratic values, and inflating Trump, his U.S avatar, has found willing dupes in the American Jewish community who greedily guzzle his Kool-Aid. Not so, finally, in Australia where subscribers and advertisers alike and even scion James Murdoch are calling out Fox for its journalistic treachery.
