    Rupert Murdoch says Trump should move on: ‘The past is the past’

    Conservative media mogul Rupert Murdoch is publicly rebuking former president Donald Trump — telling him to get over the past and to focus on the future.
    Trump — who continues to allege that the 2020 election was “rigged” against him, including recently in News Corp’s Wall Street Journal — should move on, billionaire Murdoch, 90, said Wednesday during News Corp’s annual shareholder meeting.
    “The current American political debate is profound, whether about education or welfare or economic opportunity,” said Murdoch, whose family controls Fox News’s parent company, Fox Corp. “It is crucial that conservatives play an active, forceful role in that debate, but that will not happen if President Trump stays focused on the past.”
    “The past is the past, and the country is now in a contest to define the future,” Murdoch continued.
    The two powerful men, who each command large audiences, have had a tumultuous professional relationship.

    Murdoch was seemingly not thrilled by the idea of a Trump presidency, tweeting in 2015: “When is Donald Trump going to stop embarrassing his friends, let alone the whole country?” But the tone changed as Trump’s candidacy surged.
    The editorial board of the New York Post, a Murdoch-controlled tabloid, was among the first to endorse Trump in 2016. In 2017 Murdoch introduced the then-president at an event as “my friend Donald J. Trump,” making headlines. But by 2018, Michael Wolff’s “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House” book asserted that Murdoch had called Trump a ­­­“f---ing idiot.”
    After Trump’s 2020 election defeat, however, the New York Post aimed a blistering editorial at Trump, demanding that he accept his loss to Joe Biden and stop falsely claiming that mass voter fraud had marred the results.
    During the presidential election, Fox News had also angered Trump and his supporters by calling Arizona, the traditionally red state, for Biden. Fox News stood behind the call, which turned out to be correct. Nonetheless, some Trump fans chanted “Fox sucks” outside vote-counting locations.
    Like many other media outlets, Fox News faces a potential “Trump slump” with conservative viewers switching to outlets such as Newsmax and One America News. Trump, once a frequent caller to “Fox & Friends,” turned sour on the network, tweeting in 2020 that it had “forgot the Golden Goose,” in an apparent reference to himself as a boon to their ratings.
    It’s unclear whether Murdoch’s comments about the past are a tacit nudge for Trump to look to his own future or the Republican Party’s more broadly. Trump has not yet ruled out running for president in 2024. He may also be more reliant on traditional media as he remains locked out of most social media platforms.
    [Rupert Murdoch introduced ‘my friend Donald J. Trump.’ Their friendship is kind of rocky.]
    Murdoch also used the shareholder meeting to lambaste what he called “Big Digital,” including tech giants Google and Facebook, which he said had been silencing conservative voices, as he called for their “significant reform.”
    “The idea falsely promoted by the platforms that algorithms are somehow objective and solely scientific is complete nonsense,” Murdoch said. “Algorithms are subjective and they can be manipulated by people to kill competition, damage other people, publishers and businesses.”
    The tech companies have not publicly responded to Murdoch’s comments, but have long insisted they do not discriminate against conservatives.

    Can you confirm that? From the link you posted:

    It's still unclear where those salacious details that ended up in the dossier came from.

    Again, from the CNN link, if there was no “collusion” and there’s no kompromont in the form of a PTAPE, why the following? (And don’t forget Bill DISBarred’s behavior of prematurely shutting down Team Mueller’s investigation and his complete BS 4 page memo summarizing Team Mueller’s findings, some of which in the full report and BS summary are redacted to this day. Does this appear to you to be a normal or honest response to allegations with no merit?):

    After wall-to-wall coverage of the Steele dossier, public opinion was quickly locked in on the question of collusion. Many Democrats clung to hope that the dossier was true. Most Republicans denounced it as a deep state hoax. Post-Mueller pollingfound that about half of Americans believed Trump was guilty of collusion.

    Mueller and a bipartisan Senate inquiry concluded that Trump's team welcomed Russian help, and tried to coordinate on a few fronts, but it didn't come to fruition.

    But so much suspicion was fueled by Trump's massive cover-up about Russia.
    Trump and his team systematically liedabout almost every aspect of the Russia probe. (At the start, they falsely denied any contacts with Russians.) After so many of their denials were disproved, they repeatedly shifted their story. Trump repeatedly undermined and obstructedMueller's investigation.
      All the while, Trump heaped praise on Putin. He infamously took Putin's side at the 2018 Helsinki summit by agreeing with Putin's liethat Russia didn't try to help Trump win in 2016, leading many to wonder if Trump was compromised after all.
