Apparently, Rupert Murchoch’s son and heir-apparent James (that is, assuming Rupert’s inscrutible Chinese wife doesn’t grab the family jewels first) does not care much for the Jewish state. So naturally, one wonders what happens to all those pro-Israel voices Murdoch cheers on through his many media properties once he has left the scene – which, given his advancing years, cannot be too long in the offing.
Well, what can happen is that they quickly all become hostile to Israel, because the one man who controls them all will have been replaced by a new guy who hates Israel. That’s how media aggregation works. It’s a fine thing if someone on your team is the CEO of a News Corp. or a Dow Jones, but pretty horrible if management goes the other way. Just think how hostile the environment for Zionism would become here if Fox News, the New York Post and the WSJ all turned against Israel. So great are the stakes that one can easily foresee the day in the not too distant future in which Rupert’s Chinese wife conspires with Mossad and Communist Chinese agents to snatch control over News Corp. (perhaps soon to include the Wall Street Journal) from its rightful if hirsute heir, delivering it into the hands of someone with smoother skin whose political loyalty is mainly to China. And won’t hairy young Lachlan be pissed! The Jews will have made a new enemy.
But I’d rather we all be friends. Lachlan Murdoch, if you are reading this, know that only I have the political moxie to save your inheritance from the cunning of the Jews and their secret Chinese friends. Or would you rather end up like Esau?
