And not just America. Murdoch's rabid support for Brexit, through his right wing media outlets in the UK, did much to influence the vote. What was in the best interest of the UK was never on his radar; these words from an Anthony Hilton column in the UK Evening Standard sums him up:
"I once asked Rupert Murdoch why he was so opposed to the European Union. 'That's easy,' he replied. 'When I go into Downing Street they do what I say; when I go to Brussels they take no notice."
To bring this post back on topic, anyone following Boris Johnson's latest series of law breeches and fines, lies to Parliament and the British public and refusal to follow centuries of precedent in " doing the right thing " will recognize that crossing lines without consequence is also not just an American issue.
In the end, the responsibility lies with voters who do not hold their representatives accountable; I am constantly amazed by how many of them there are.
