18. Murdoch has caused disaster everywhere he has media.

He did a lot to create the anti-immigrant beliefs that led to Brexit, with help from Russia. I believe the citizens of Great Britain will rue the day they chose to leave the EU.

Australia, Murdoch’s birth country, has its own problems with right-wing nationalism. And the US is now full of misinformation and ignorance championed by Fox. Murdoch and at least one of his spawn are disgusting examples of the human race. I don’t know how we satisfy the demands of free speech and rein in the lies in media, but we are losing our country to the worst sort of propaganda.
