Billionaire media baron Rupert Murdoch angered critics with one explicit a part of his announcement that he was stepping down as Fox Corp and Information Corp chair.
In a memo to colleagues on Thursday, Murdoch railed in opposition to so-called “elites” who he claimed “have open contempt for many who aren’t members of their rarefied class.”
“A lot of the media is in cahoots with these elites, peddling political narratives reasonably than pursuing the reality,” he added.
Critics on X, previously Twitter, accused Murdoch of gaslighting, self-delusion, dishonesty and obliviousness ― given his huge wealth and decades-long affect over international politics through his media empire that counts America’s top-rated cable information channel, Fox Information.
