The legacy of fear-mongering and division in the right-wing media ecosystem

Rupert Murdoch, through his media empire, has created a right-wing media ecosystem that thrives on fear-mongering and dividing Americans. By targeting certain groups, such as Muslims, immigrants, and political opponents like Barack Obama, Murdoch has tapped into people's insecurities and anxieties, generating profits and influencing the Republican Party. While Rupert Murdoch may be stepping aside, the impact of his media empire will likely continue, with his son Lachlan, who shares his conservative values, taking over. This transition suggests a continuation of the same editorial strategy and narratives that have fueled the right-wing media machine.
