The Telegraph isn't.

Edit: also, I couldn't find any accounts of Murdoch being Jewish?

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Cannot find anything about Murdoch being Jewish but his (much younger) wife is.

Murdoch has been a staunch Zionist for all his life https://www.jta.org/1999/01/25/default/murdoch-relishes-pro-israel-label

One of the most fucked-up things about Murdoch is that his father helped fuck up the Gallipoli campaign in 1915 ... and that dude was in his fucking mid-30s at the time. Not to mention that the elder Murdoch also helped destroy the career of Australia's best general from that war, a general who happened to be Jewish.

No, Churchill fucked up the Gallipoli campaign. Murdoch just ended the suffering of the British, Indian, Canadian, ANZAC, and many other colonial soldiers by revealing the truth. The only time a Murdoch did actual journalism.

Is that what Dark City was about?

Wait, really? The scifi sleeper hit that got eclipsed by The Matrix because it came out in the same year and had a similar story? I haven't seen it since I was 15 or so, so I wouldn't remember anything political from it... Or are you just joking?

I think it was phrased like a question, but with no such mark.

[-] flamingos@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I found the same, but that's not really enough to describe the Murdochs as being a Jewish family. It's frankly antisemitic to baselessly say a major media mogul is Jewish.

I was talking about the Maxwells

[-] flamingos@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago

They have nothing to do with any of these newspapers. I'm not even sure they have anything to do with the Mirror anymore.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
