The #MurdochJournal Editorial Board has sympathy for Larry Summers. Of course, it does.

The #MurdochJournal tries to justify Trump, Kushner, and Witkoff taking dictation from their puppet master, Putin.

At the #MurdochJournal, illegal, racist, election-stealing gerrymandering is a "misstep" and "midterm strategy."

Angwin has had it out for Google since 2010, when she in the #MurdochJournal demonized the humble web cookie and launched the surveillance trope. The obsession continues still.

So many ways not to say fascist in the #MurdochJournal: "Bolder President charges ahead...riffing on authoritarianism and ignoring caution...flirtation with a type of government that the U.S. shed at its founding, flexing federal muscle and busting through the norms...pushed the optics of the presidency in a monarchical direction...as he remakes the contours of the presidency...Trump era is marked by concentrating federal power in the Oval Office. 'I have the right to do anything I want to do'"

In Trump’s Second Term, a Bolder President Charges Ahead Unchecked
Trump is frequently riffing on authoritarianism and ignoring caution from advisers
