And therefore, here is an excerpt of the opening, followed by the video of this righteous rant:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;For the past nine months Rupert Murdoch-owned media have, by and large, waged a war against public health and the scientific consensus on containing the corona virus. On Fox News and elsewhere they&#8217;ve been playing down the virus and peddling just outright lies and pushing junk science and elevating cranks. All of which has tangibly, materially contributed to behavior that has made the pandemic worse.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And what makes it all the more infuriating is that &#8212; as we have noted &#8212; while Fox hosts have been dismissing the experts, and suggesting lockdowns don&#8217;t work, and ridiculing people that avoid the office and follow public health guidelines, many Fox News employees have been working remotely at the same time. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So now we arrive at the question of the vaccine. And last night one of Murdoch&#8217;s minions went on air to coyly just ask questions and rail against the offense of pro-vaccine propaganda that&#8217;s propagated by all corners of the media and the elite consensus that you should get the vaccine. Quote: &#8216;On the question of the coronavirus vaccine, our leaders are definitely not pro-choice. Their view is &#8220;do what you&#8217;re told and don&#8217;t complain.&#8221;&#8216; Of course, no one is actually telling you what to do. The vaccine is voluntary.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ObTqhMBCuro?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The <em>&#8220;minion&#8221;<\/em> of which Hayes spoke was Fox&#8217;s Senior White Nationalist, Tucker Carlson. And he did indeed devote much of his program to disgorging flagrant lies about the coronavirus vaccine. He characterized it as the key component of a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=47944\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">plot to enslave Americans under some undefined threat of <em>&#8220;social control.&#8221;<\/em><\/a><\/strong> His preposterous horror story included evil doctors, tech companies, media figures, and politicians. He even fingered Dr. Anthony Fauci, who Carlson asserted was both a ring leader and incompetent.<\/p>\n<p>Hayes went on to point out some blatant hypocrisies. For instance, Fox News never bothered castigate Vice-President Mike Pence, who publicly got the vaccination that Fox News is now disparaging as a marketing ploy to trap people in their net of social control. Hayes also recounted how Murdoch&#8217;s New York Post set out to deliberately ruin the life of an innocent and heroic COVID nurse by spreading lascivious tales about her personal life that had no news value. The only purpose for the story was to be cruel in order to make a trivial political point<\/p>\n<p>Hayes closed with a summary of how Murdoch fits into in this picture by noting that it was just <em>&#8220;another day In the life of one of the most destructive people on the planet.&#8221;<\/em> Which pretty well captures Murdoch&#8217;s villainous role. He is the lynchpin in the cabal of conservativism that is dragging down the American principles of freedom and democracy. And if he is allowed to get away with it, the American experiment will end in failure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter recently suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
