IS MURDOCH'S RIGHT-WING MEDIA TURNING ON TRUMP?

Two days after the midterm elections, the paper illustrated former President Donald J. Trump as Trumpty Dumpty about to have a great fall.

Since Election Day last week, The New York Post’s front pages have been merciless to former President Donald J. Trump. First, the paper heralded his political rival, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, as “DeFUTURE.” 

A day later, it illustrated Mr. Trump as Humpty Dumpty about to have a great fall.

Then, on Wednesday, the paper relegated Mr. Trump’s announcement about his latest run for president to a small headline at the bottom of the page: “Florida Man Makes Announcement.”

All three covers shot around social media, putting the 221-year-old tabloid at the center of the national discussion about Mr. Trump’s future and elevating its print front page from New York City newsstands to Twitter’s global public square.

The covers also had the news media and political worlds talking about whether the recent Trump coverage was another sign that Rupert Murdoch’s media empire, which includes The Post and Fox News among other news organizations, had broken permanently from the former president after supporting him for years.

Mr. Trump weighed in himself on his Truth Social site, criticizing “the no longer great New York Post.” He added, “Bring back Col!,” a reference to Col Allan, the paper’s former editor in chief.

Many progressives took pleasure in seeing the tabloid turn nasty toward a man it once lavishly praised.

“Just like in Australia and the UK, it’s almost impossible for any conservative politician to survive without the blessing of the billionaire Murdoch empire. Trump is toast …,” Thom Hartmann, the liberal radio talk show host, tweetd.

A Post spokeswoman declined to make Keith Poole, the editor in chief, available for an interview. A spokesman for The Post’s parent company, News Corp, which the Murdochs run, declined to comment.

Cheeto Trump is breathing shit aroma in his Mar-a-Lago outhouse. The asswipe is running for president only cause he thinks it will keep him out of jail. He's a punk pussy, and the country is now acknowledging it.


Fock him. Fock him down.

Why so much fear of Donald Trump? The person you should fear is the current president who is not dealing with a full deck and has gotten us closer to war than any other president. Is part of this fear because you dread losing your food stamps and welfare checks? Or is it the fear of losing the freebies given to you by the democrats to gain your votes. The Republican Party is a party of the working class. The Democratic Party is a party of the lazy people waiting for handouts. I guess the greatest fear is WORK!

If Trump is done, why are you reporting on him? Poster here accuses Republicans of racism while calling them Whitey. Check yourself for racism first.

The GOP is doomed if it selects Trump as their 2024 presidential candidate. Trump had its chance but flat-out failed big time. Trump inherited a robust economy from Obama and left it in shambles when he got fired. Mainly because of his big lie and denial of Covid19 which caused over million deaths. First president ever to refused a peaceful transfer of power. Instigated his followers to attack the Capitol and stole top secret documents. Wake up people and realize who the big liar is. "Georgia find me 11k votes ". Rigged elections? Pathetic claim.

Afraid of work! Are you afraid of WORK? You judge others the way you are. Not everyone is like you.

No red wave but Republicans took the house. That's enough to finally begin investigating the corruption within the Democratic Party. Who will go to jail? I hope someone does. The taxpayers have paid a pretty penny for all these investigations. In my personal opinion Trump, Joe Biden and Hunter Biden should all be held accountable for their actions.
