FOX cancer claims another victim
Trump juror quits over fear of being outed after Fox News
“The juror told the judge that so much information about her had become public that her friends and family had begun to ask her if she was one of the jurors. Legal analyst Joyce White Vance noted jurors’ fear for their safety was a concern normally seen only “in a case involving violent organized crime.” — Heather Cox Richardson
Kevin Rudd, the former Australian prime minister whom the family had helped push out of office years earlier, described Murdoch as “the greatest cancer on the Australian democracy.”

Protect the jurors
“The prosecution declined to provide the names of their first three witnesses to the defense lawyers out of concern that Trump would broadcast them on social media. “Mr. Trump has been tweeting about the witnesses. We’re not telling them who the witnesses are,” prosecutor Joshua Steinglass said.
Merchan said he “can’t blame them.” Trump’s defense attorney Todd Blanche offered to “commit to the court and the prosecution that President Trump will not post about any witness” on social media. “I don’t think you can make that representation,” Merchan said, in a recognition that Trump cannot be trusted, even by his own lawyers.” — Heather Cox Richardson
Propaganda for money and political favors
“Murdoch’s news empire is a monument to decades’ worth of transactional relationships with elected officials. Murdoch has said that he “never asked a prime minister for anything.” But press barons don’t have to ask when their media outlets can broadcast their desires.
Politicians know what Murdoch wants, and they know what he can deliver: the base, their voters — power. The bigger Murdoch’s empire became, the more power he had to clear away obstacles to further its expansion.” – NY Times
