Default Rupert Murdoch Slams Cancel Culture in Rare Speech

[Rupert Murdoch, the billionaire mogul behind Fox News,
took issue with the silencing of debate
on social media, saying “awful woke orthodoxy”
was hobbling public discourse.


Murdoch, 89, made the rare public remarks
during a brief video to accept a lifetime
achievement award from the Australia Day Foundation.

The clip was posted online by the Herald Sun,
a Melbourne newspaper owned by Murdoch’s News Corp.

“For those of us in media, there is a
real challenge to confront,” he said.
“A wave of censorship that seeks to
silence conversation, to stifle debate
and ultimately stop individuals and
societies from realizing their potential.”

The U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6 was
followed by a purging of the social-media
accounts of then-President Donald Trump
and others, drawing complaints of censorship.
On Monday, Twitter Inc. said it would seek to
police the service more vigilantly
for misinformation and introduced
a new feature called Birdwatch.]

Yes great remarks
Rupert.

i don't know what's wrong about Rupert Murdoch , seems like a nice enough dude (just with old-fashioned views and a extremely bad taste in women to fall for golddigger Jerry Hall)

Also, it's pretty funny for him to talk about cancel culture when he turns the sights of his media empire onto people he doesn't like.

yeah, this 100%. Cancel culture is basically the ability to influence peoples thinking in a negative way, and Murdoch is just pissed he doesn't have a monopoly on that any more
