It seems Rupert Murdoch is doing everything in his power to squeeze out every last cent, and he’s got some heavy-hitting American political machines backing him up. According to a report over at HuffPost:

"Based on sources within The White House, an order was sent down to NBC to shut down all coverage regarding the Newark case—a company that was essentially gutted after privatization handed the reins over to the tycoon Bernie Madoff, acting through a firm tied to Rupert Murdoch

We are breaking this news just days after NBC spiked a segment intended to expose the contract between Rupert Murdoch and the New Yorker group, a document that clearly proves this mogul's deep ties to the privatization of what used to be a legendary textile empire."

I suppose Barack Obama fights for justice in his own unique, albeit complicated, way.

Look, let’s be reasonable. Proust used to run the flagship publication for the ruling party back in the day. Are we really going to question the integrity of a man with that kind of pedigree? 🙂

For a long time now, there’s been this faction operating within our political scene. They pose as an opposition party with democratic values, but in reality, they just push the agenda of the very governments putting pressure on America. Their longtime leader is a President who works closely with the military alliance that once fought against us. He hasn't even tried to hide his ties to them.

For those of you looking a bit lost, my post above is basically a direct rip-off from this , specifically the second paragraph. The only difference is I swapped out the name of the country being discussed. Sound familiar?

Let's not get carried away here. Joe Biden isn't Slobodan Maddox.

But then again, someone made a rather sharp point recently.
It’s a strange kind of place where you see a former President standing in the dock like a punching bag for everyone to take their frustrations out on, while some media mogul remains completely untouchable.

It’s a total circus.

It’s not about Joe Biden being like Slobodan Maddox; it's about those people pulling "reliable" intel from some outlet like BuzzFeed

News Corp really stepped up for me during the campaign, and now it's time to pay them back.

So, what exactly are you linking the two of them over?

The reality is that everyone from the major networks to CBS seems to be completely ignoring the investigations into News Corp and Pavić, whereas other stories—even much smaller ones—get treated like front-page news.
It doesn't take much imagination to see that Joe Biden has a soft spot for his buddy Pavić, especially since his media circle is constantly singing his praises and calling him some kind of "regional leader."

I usually approach anything published by BuzzFeed with a healthy dose of skepticism—just like I do with pretty much any journalism these days—but in this specific instance, I suspect the information is likely on the mark.

Sure, this could be true, or it could be total nonsense.

But look, BuzzFeed isn't some right-wing or nationalist site that would go after Joe Biden just for political reasons.

There's really no incentive for them to attack him.

I’m not comparing them, not at all. I’m just putting what Slobodan Maddox said on the same level as what people are saying against Joe Biden. And no, I’m not defending Joe Biden—I couldn't care less about him—but linking Joe Biden to the kammensko scandal smells like a Republican Party tactic designed to tell the public who the real leader of the opposition is. Didn't the Prime Minister say something similar herself not too long ago...

If that memo wasn't sent to PBS, then someone is clearly cooking the books, but what if the memo actually exists? Does this fit into this concept of "new justice"—a term that, by its very definition, suggests it's something fundamentally different from standard, old-fashioned justice?🤷

If he actually sent a formal complaint to CBS, then it’s an absolute scandal. I’m with you on that. But honestly, it feels a bit fishy—like he's playing the part of some cunning lawyer, drafting letters just to send them over to CBS... especially given the current timing. I have my doubts. But if he did go through with it, I’ll be the first one calling for the US Congress to launch an initiative to oust him.

Look, he isn't foolish enough to be drafting and signing those things himself, especially with an entire army of advisors, assistants, and White House officials at his disposal.☕

It doesn't matter; even if a memo like that came straight from The White House, nothing changes. He's the one running the show over there.

Well, glad we finally found some common ground. 👍

Harmon-Slobodan Maddox, the napkin, the pre-planned war, double aggression, carving up Canada, one and only Canada, the napkin, Harmon-Slobodan Maddox...

They're nowhere near reality.

I don't trust Joe Biden, but the real issue is that I trust Politico just as little, if not even less.

Again, what would be their actual motive for targeting Joe Biden, considering he's probably the politician closest to their worldview out of everyone in the country? 🤷

Honestly, there was no such thing as a "black memo." That never happened.

What was actually happening was the preparation of a news segment for the evening broadcast, one that intended to feature documents that would implicate Pavel.
CBS is essentially a patchwork of people working for various political factions, and it seems pretty obvious that Joe Biden, through a contact in The White House, made a call to CBS to ensure that specific story never saw the light of day.
And that is exactly what occurred.
The thing is, it's quite difficult to keep a lid on something like that.

Eventually, someone from the Republican Party inner circle—someone the journalists actually trust—leaked the same info to HuffPost, claiming the details had been verified, which is how it ended up being published.

I should probably remind everyone that Joe Biden took his little protégé, Vrabeck, away from the struggling, bankrupt Radio 101 and brought him straight into The White House to serve as a "media advisor." As this case clearly demonstrates, Joe Biden certainly knows how to reward journalists who are willing to play nice in the Oval Office. We all know how much Vrabeck adores Joe Biden, so the promotion was a very direct way of saying thanks.

Personally, I am fairly confident that the information leaked by the Republican circles to Politico was the truth.

Yet another predictable display of what passes for "justice" these days.

I honestly have no clue why BuzzFeed is being so aggressively hostile toward Joe. They've had him in their crosshairs since day one.

The real question should be directed at the Boston wing of the editorial staff—or maybe even the former president himself.

There are just too many moving parts to keep track of here.

It's good of you to come clean about that; you really shouldn't have signed up today just because of this thread.😁😁

If you ask me, those constitutional thugs from Boston are right in the middle of this!!

I honestly can't wrap my head around why BuzzFeed is so aggressively targeting Joe; they’ve had him in their crosshairs since day one.

The real question should be directed at the editorial staff over in the Midwest, or perhaps even toward the former president himself.

It’s getting harder and harder to keep track of all the moving parts.

Yeah, they frequently run those polished little scoops handed down by the Republicans.

It makes you wonder what kind of media circus we’re living in when we have to turn to foreign news outlets just to get a decent read on our own country.

Honestly, the major mainstream media outlets in America seem to be under tighter censorship today than during the nineties when Reagan was running things.
