Why Is Rupert Murdoch Fluffing RFK, Jr.?

[W. Niederhut]

    I looked at my MSN news feed this morning, and there was a frontpage blurb about RFK, Jr. posing a serious threat to Biden's re-election.

    It was a fluff piece from Rupert Murdoch's New York Post. *   This doesn't pass the sniff test.

    Let's recall that Rupert Murdoch once bragged about heavily promoting the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.

    He has consistently promoted climate change denial.

    He also aggressively promoted Donald Trump's disastrous Presidency, beginning in 2016.

    Then he promoted the 2017 Trump tax cuts for billionaires and corporations.

    Then he aggressively promoted Trumplicon disinformation during the COVID pandemic.

    Then he promoted Trump's Stop-the-Steal scam.

    Then he promoted false narratives about Trump's January 6th coup attempt, while censoring coverage of the Congressional J6 investigation.

    Now Murdoch is using his propaganda empire to fluff RFK, Jr.'s campaign against Joe Biden.  Hmmmm...  🙄

    Why?
