Trump just sued Rupert, along with the Wall Street Journal. I get why he sued the WSJ. But why Murdoch?

I am NOT a political junkie. But I thought those two would be aligned.

Can someone explain this to me?

He’s suing to posture and sound tough. It’s why he did all the goofy projecting (“powerhouse lawsuit” )

You don’t have to like the WSJ but they’re not stupid. They didn’t run the story unless they knew on good authority it would hold up to legitimate legal scrutiny.

When MAGA realizes they have the goods they’ll quickly pivot hard to “who cares”. Which, to be fair, should be nobody (Dems included).

The whole Epstein thing is a catastrophe of his own making, but this letter thing is a small side show and isn’t ultimately what anyone really cares about. Client lists (if they exist) is what ppl want.

WSJ as trustworthy and solid as CBS.

WSJ’s parent company Dow Jones, earlier today: “We have full confidence in the rigor and accuracy of our reporting, and will vigorously defend against any lawsuit.”

If you thought anything different, you’re listening to clowns.

Absolutely, but I’m not a liberal leftist so I have no issue admitting if I am wrong. Trump has a pretty good track record so far. Your leftists have been looking pretty stupid so far trashing Trump for these lawsuits, lol You will need some SFP level cope. LOL

Just like Paramount was 100% behind CBS and 60 Minutes. I'm sure their wing of the library will be nice.

IDK about them personally, but people forget how hard Fox personalities went on Trump in the 2016 primary.

It backfired, of course, because they were giving him more airtime than all the other candidates combined.

Paul Ryan is also on the Fox board now, and not a Trumper.

Lou Dobbs was probably the Fox personality closest to Trump, and Fox dumped him after the 2020 election.

I was blown away by CBS coughing up the dough.

Then cutting a fools throat and cancelling his shitty show.

“The Interview was not doctored; and 60 MINUTES did not hide any part of the Vice President’s answer to the question at issue. 60 MINUTES fairly presented the Interview to inform the viewing audience, and not to mislead it. The lawsuit Trump has brought today against CBS is completely without merit and we will vigorously defend against it,” the spokesperson continued.

Paramount who owns CBS is trying to sell itself in an $8bn merger with Skydance. Axing shitty programs and settling the Trumo suit is just business.
