Rupert Murdoch has been using Twitter. He's done a bunch about Landry's post that then get posted on Twitter this weekend. Of course, he talked about American Jews needing to get their act together and act more like evangelical Christians. And what that's saying is, that's a direct threat to Jewish people in America. That language needs to be rebuked, rejected, and shamed immediately.
It’s been a big week in right wing media: Kanye’s buying Parler, Murdoch may re-merge Fox and News Corp, and whistleblowers are getting fired at Truth Social. Plus, Musk is under federal investigation, stemming from his attempt to buy Twitter. Also, Apple’s mixed reality headset will scan irises, Netflix’s ad-supported tier will launch November 3rd, and in Big Grocery news, Kroger has agreed to buy Albertsons. Author and historian Anne Applebaum joins to discuss the latest in Ukraine and Russia.
