Wah-Wuhhh.

David Cameron
wanted support of Murdochs

James wanted Ofcom gone😱
Ofcom:
British reg agency
deciding Murdochs
“fit + proper”
2 acquire BSkyB

2010 election approaching,
Cameron publicly promised
under Conserv govt,
“Ofcom as we know it
will cease 2 exist.”

Money Motivations

Now, if Brexit passed,
Murdochs would essentially
be getting full ownership of Sky
at steeply discounted price of $14.8B

🤫🤫🤫

CAUSE:
BREXIT

EFFECT:
British govt paralyzed,
unable 2 reach agree
2 implement break w
EU.

Foreign companies
pulling out of Britain,
destabilizing country’s job mrkt
+ economy

Hence,
depressing value of
English pound
+ w it,
price of Sky’s shares👇

~~Sidebar Salad~~

Y is NYT needing
2 use photo from

Across Pond Scrutiny

Too much Murdoch
control if deal goes thru.

“If this occurred,
plurality
[having wide range
of media owned by
different orgs]
would decline,
even if combined org
cont 2 maintain newsrooms
that R nominally separate.”

Roger Ailes; OUT
Jack Abernathy; IN
Bill Shine; IN

Shine aka “the butler”
bc of uncanny tendency
2 appear at Ailes’s side
2 address his needs.

Yeah Fox.

Whhen Does Sean Exit?

Hannity
effectively member of
tRUmp's campaign team

Ex:
Pressing Michael Cohen,
2B on lookout 4 former
girlfriends + employees
who might make trouble
4 candidate
ahead of election.

How is he not in cuffs?
Or off the air?

archive.is/O3Ne9

Yrs earlier,
when James
fighting in Britain
4 1st failed Sky deal,
he expressed contempt
4 govt meddling in media’s affairs
+ impugned nationally esteemed BBC
as “chilling” media monolith.

“The only reliable,
durable+perpetual guarantor
of independence is profit.”

WRONG
U FAIL

Sky Panic

Fox execs directed Hannity
2 dial dwn his Seth Rich coverage,👈
which spurred wild conspiracy theories
+ wide public criticism.

Murdochs also pulled
Fox News off air in Britain,👈
where it had been subject of
several formal complaints
of “unfair + inaccurate content.”

Fox News
broke UK's rules

Hannity 4 ridiculing critics
of Trump’s proposed travel ban
w/out cntr-view

Carlson 4 allowing Nigel Farage
2 make baseless claims
British officials had failed 2 protect
“1,000s of underage girls”
from rape+abuse by Muslims.

w NO mention of Fox News

2018
Sky Decision

Final ruling:
no member of Murdoch family
should ever b allowed
2 serve in any capacity at Sky,
not even on co’s board.

It would be harsh blow 2 James,
who was serving as
Sky’s chairman.

4 Lachlan,
it was validation.

News International
+, again, at
Fox News,
+ people just don’t trust u.

Is that what u think the message is?”
