Toxic, interfering, fossilised foreign billionaire scrotum Rupert Murdoch’s #talkTV has hardly any viewers for its divisive culture-war crap, so Fox "News" staff have been brought in following a Snr behind-the-scenes executive quitting last week.
On Monday, the flagshit Piers Morgan Uncensored attracted just 64,000 viewers - beaten by a repeat of 1970s sitcom The Good Life on Gold. Narcissistic plum Morgan has suggested Murdoch should make a massive bid to hire Susanna Reid, who has not denied discussions had taken place.
Other talkTV programmes are faring far worse, with just 7,000 people watching toxic hard-right extremist sociopath Tom Newton Dunn, the former Sun political editor who in 2019 published & then unpublished a debunked far-right conspiracy theory linking Jeremy Corbyn to terrorists.
More embarrassing for the toxic fossilised billionaire scrotum Murdoch, is that egomaniac plum Morgan is being consistently thrashed in the ratings by divisive shit-stirring hatemongering extremist Nigel Farage on the cancerous even further-right #propaganda channel, GB "News".
BOTH hateful Fox-News-style outlets are reportedly currently financially unsustainable. "Patriotic" GB "News" secured funding from overseas-based investors for its first three years, but major shareholder, US media company @Discovery/@wbd, is now understood to be looking to exit.
GB "News" needs new shareholders willing to suck up the cost of running a loss-making, ad-funded channel with a recession looming. Sources at GB "News" said both its HR director & commercial director have left in recent weeks. They'll be hoping Murdoch buys it.
One "left-wing journalist" was begged to come on Morgan's shitshow; the #talkTV guest booker made ever increasing offers, which could in the end have earned the individual tens of thousands of pounds for a few minutes’ work. The person declined.#StopFundingHate

Vivek Sharma, talkTV's executive producer, who was a veteran of @ITV’s daytime line-up, quit last week.
There has been substantial involvement of staff from Murdoch’s dystopian demon-haunted conspiracy theory channel Fox "News", to try to train presenters & fix other problems.
In another dangerously irresponsible yet predictable move, dangerously irresponsible Murdoch is to employ dangerously irresponsible Jeremy Kyle, who is due to host a new show, now that the public outcry over a recent documentary about his former daytime TV show has #died down.
Foreign billionaire Murdoch pretty much owns our Govt, destroying opposition leaders with his media empire's brutal & sustained attacks. Murdoch hosted his summer party at the Serpentine gallery in London on Monday night - guests included Boris Johnson...
A few thoughts on Bob Vylan leading the #GlastonburyFestival crowd in chants of "Death to the IDF" (Israeli Defence Force), livestreamed by the @BBC, and the mischaracterisation of the chant by some MPs, news media, and activists.
In England, where #GlastonburyFestival is located, all of us have the right to freely express our criticism of anyone or anything - as long as there is no intent to provoke immediate unlawful violence or there is a reasonable likelihood it will occur as a consequence.
In England, free speech is protected under Article 10 of the Human Rights Act 1998. However, inciting violence is a criminal offence under several laws which attempt to balance public safety with free expression rights.
In many countries, especially since Musk bought Twitter/@X, underregulated online extreme content has been used to groom and radicalise vulnerable people.
Too many cowardly politicians are scared to speak up for fear of being branded 'anti-free speech'.
Some MPs who have been in parliament for many years NEVER appear on any of the @BBC's "flagship" politics shows - but Reform's privately educated shit-stirring 'anti-elite' former Tory Sarah Pochin - an MP for FIVE WEEKS - gets her own special introduction on #PoliticsLive.
Politicians using dangerously irresponsible anti-Muslim rhetoric know their comments are normalising Islamophobia and endanger British Muslim women. Islamophobic incidents rose by 375% in the week after Boris Johnson called veiled Muslim women “letterboxes” in 2018.

Britain prides itself in NOT being the sort of country that tells women how to dress. States that do dictate women’s clothing (eg Iran, Sudan, Saudi Arabia) are vilified as misogynistic & ultra-controlling: the antithesis of the enlightened, liberal west. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
"Foreigners" DO NOT claim £1BILLION/month in benefits.
This disgusting anti-migrant dogwhistle by shameless liar and former Head of Policy Exchange, Neil O'Brien MP, is just one of several recent dispicable divisive Telegraph front page lies.
WTAF @IpsoNews? @HoCStandards?
The claims that the UK spends £1bn/month "on UC benefits for overseas nationals" (O'Brien) and "Foreigners claim £1bn a month in benefits" (Telegraph) are revealed to be lies in the article: the£1bn relates to "Benefits claims by HOUSEHOLDS with AT LEAST ONE FOREIGN NATIONAL."
The Telegraph claims that (unnamed) "experts suggested the increase reflected a SURGE in the number of asylum seekers being granted refugee status and in net migration."
To evaluate/make sense of this sensational unsourced claim, additional context is needed (but not provided).
Chase Herro, co-founder of Trump’s main crypto venture, World Liberty Financial, on crypto:
“You can literally sell shit in a can, wrapped in piss, covered in human skin, for a billion dollars if the story’s right, because people will buy it.”
Despite crypto being bullshit, & memecoins being consciously bullshit, many – especially angry young gullible men – still invest: 42% of men & 17% of women aged 18-29 have invested in, traded or used crypto (2024 Pew Research), compared to only 11% of men & 5% of women over 50.
“It’s no accident that memecoins are such a phenomenon among young people who have grown immensely frustrated with a financial system that, I think it’s fair to say, has failed them” - Sander Lutz, the first crypto-focused White House correspondent.
🧵In January, Farage said Musk was justified in calling Starmer complicit in failures to prosecute grooming gangs: “In 2008 Keir Starmer had just been appointed as DPP & there was a case brought before them of alleged mass rape of young girls that did not lead to a prosecution.”
The allegation that Starmer was complicit in failures to prosecute grooming gangs is often repeated. But how true is it?
Two Facebook posts, originally appearing in April/May 2020, claimed Starmer told police when he was working for the CPS not to pursue cases against Muslim men accused of rape due to fears it would stir up anti-Islamic sentiment.
In 2022 the posts and allegations saw a resurgence online with hundreds of new shares. They said: “From 2004 onwards the director of public prosecutions told the police not to prosecute Muslim rape gangs to prevent ‘Islamophobia’.
