Fox News and the New York Post are owned by Billionaire Rupert Murdoch.

Remember this headline, only a few days before the British referendum 🇬🇧 on Europe?

The Sun is another lying paper owned by Rupert Murdoch.

This Billionaire ghoul doesn't even run real news organizations.

Fuck Rupert Murdoch, he's a leech on society

He needs a Luigi treatment!

To be fair, time will take care of this in the next few years!

The son he's setup to take the reins isn't any better.

No, but he is a charisma-free piece-of-shit that's widely despised, and we're expecting the evil empire to fall to pieces once the guy in charge kicks the bucket. And the reaper is sharpening their scythe for the coffin-dodging bastard.

Mind you, that's not the only widely-disappointed group that sentence could apply to at the moment.

That's different to the picture we see as Australians. He's just the same which become evident after winning the battle against his brother.

He's 94. If he dies before 100, that'd be nice, but it'd have better for him to die 94 years earlier.

I also hate police officers but I don’t shoot every one on sight. The dude is running for office, he’s going to be nice. If he wants wild change, he’ll probably go about it slowly and inefficiently since everyone but him will push back.

Yeah. This also feels like a progressive variant of the "I have a token black friend so I cannot possibly be racist" argument. This photo doesn't say anything about his opinions on the police.

He should hate US pigs, they're a violent criminal gang of thugs and murderers.
Certainly wouldn't want my picture taken with one of them.
Then again, let's not forget he's a dem after all, and will turn out not so left as many hope and others fear.
