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toxic hard-right extremist sociopath Tom Newton Dunn, the former Sun political editor who in 2019 published & then unpublished a debunked far-right conspiracy theory linking Jeremy Corbyn to terrorists.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...
