I guess Creepy Uncle Rupert has staked his money on Trump and Vance stepping in to help all those poor downtrodden billionaires.
And if it makes anyone happy - it sure put a smile on my face - the Murdoch succession is turning seriously ‘Succession’ - the old scrote is worried that most of his children aren’t nearly enough right wing and shouldn’t inherit News International:

I don’t see any contradiction. Both columns are aimed at disrupting the Democratic campaign. He wrote the first one to attack Biden on the assumption that Harris would be an ineffectual replacement. Now that her popularity is soaring, he has to switch to casting doubt on her. WSJ SOP.

This trust legal thing is being helmed by none other than Bill Barr. Imagine that.

This is absolutely the correct analysis. Well done.

Odd since the House is censuring Harris because she didn’t do anything about the border. Or something like that. So much political bs.

Looking at his bio, he is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank in Manhattan according to Wikipedia.

Karma can be a motherfucker. These asshats torpedoed Biden, thinking it would throw the Democratic Party into chaos. And honestly…I thought it would. Instead, it seems to have created something of a movement.

At first I read that as “Kamala”. 
Works either way.

Love this part:
a Nevada probate commissioner found last month that the family’s irrevocable trust can be rewritten if Murdoch can prove he is acting in good faith to protect the value of the trust’s holdings.
That $787 million settlement is a pretty strong argument against Lachlan continuing a conservative bent to Rupert’s media empire….

Yes, his next column will be “both of my previous columns are correct”: “I thought that Harris was the one, but then [wharblegarble] happened, and now she should be tossed over the side immediately.”

Did he cite any polls, with breakout, to support that assertion?

Nah, It was probably something like he talked to one Black voter who said that on Monday. That voter brought a friend in to back them up the next day - so now there was a growing number of Black voters saying it.

Newsflash: A murdoch owned rag hates Democrats. In other mindblowing news Trump is old, senile and vaguely smells of feces.

Murdoch hasn’t done anything in good faith since he first took a breath in this world.
