Happy 94th Birthday Rupert Murdoch

Fox News, WSJ and the NY Post push back on Trump. "That's not clarity!"

Rupert Murdoch turns 94 on March 11. Don’t buy him a cake. He thinks all the fuss is nonsense. He’d rather be doing what he loves best: working.

Rupert must have been thrilled to see a Republican installed back at the White House after the election. A Trump bump is powering ratings at Fox News. The network had the highest rated February in its history with three times the audience of closest competitor MSNBC in primetime. An eye popping 10.7 million people turned to Fox News’ State of the Union coverage, beating even the broadcast networks. Lara Trump is expected to have her father-in-law on her new Fox News show after his first hundred days in office.

But Trump, as ever, is a thorn in Rupert’s side, especially when it comes to Russia and particularly when it comes to tariffs and he’s is also a factor in the family succession dispute.
