murdoch's has been doing it. >> just to build on some of the things that were said earlier. misinformation and disinformation are some very important drawbacks of the situation that journalism faces nowadays. i would also like to say to a certain extent, i completely agree, i think julie mentioned this earlier. there needs to be more public funding that needs to be pumped into journalism, because at the end of the day, all this money -- we are talking about advertising, it is to come from somewhere. anchor: that public money could come from charging the platforms. >> it could come from charging platforms. or another model is just revisit the failed business model of actually asking citizens to pay for the news as they might have done and other iterations of media. now the idea that a user, a consumer has a free contract with facebook, has just created his narrative that there is a free access to information. in spite of the fact that a lot of industries need more funding. this has been the status quo. going back to disinformation, what we see right now on social media, the i

. >>> there is a reason that the one-term president's defense sounded like a show on rupert murdoch's fox news or oann. the audience for that was donald trump himself and the senators themselves who were looking for any fig leaf to justify a quitting him so the base didn't get mad again. and those senators who were supposed to act as impartial jurors voted to overturn the outcome of the election. they see senators weren't interested in the facts or the evidence, they just needed an offramp. lindsey graham and ted cruz were seen popping into the defense room during a break. why work hard when the outcome is probably baked in, anyway? as if on queue, senators applauded the banarama defense. >> the president's lawyers blew the house manager case out of the water. the legally eviscerated them. >> just blew it out of the water. they didn't make any sense, but who needs to make sense? here's the extreme right republican party. remember bill cassidy of louisiana? he voted that the impeachment was, in fact, constitutional. well, it now seems he is in the bag for trump after the gop threatened

given that you are focussed on this, what is the take-away about murdoch saying one thing, but the programming moves saying another thing? >> yeah. well, i would say they're not moving right. they're moving further into b.s. they're moving further into crazy. look, you could have taken the capitol riots as an opportunity to step back, to go back to some of the hard news reporting that fox news did so well for quite some time on their day side. but instead, they have decided to scrap hard news. they decided to have layoffs on their hard news unit and go further into the b.s. i don't think it is a left/right decision. i think it is a -- i think it is a conspiracy/nonconspiracy. >> i continue to have journalists at fox reaching out to me. they are trying to leave that network. but this seems to be a theme at fox. journalists being squeezed out. opinion or, as you say, b.s. becoming more and more prominent. what are you looking for in the weeks ahead? >> exactly how much will maga grow beyond having trump at its helm? how much will maga decide to take on its own identity passed trump, who is going

your book about that murdoch's world is an essential read, by the way. people can order it on amazon. dana, tell me if i'm crazy about this. in the reality-based community, biden is president. trump is off in mar-a-lago. yet the trump fan base wants to watch shows that tell them unreality, that tell them a fantasy about how biden stole the election and how democrats are evil. and, so, there is a real market demand for shows like lou dobbs. yet, they could also get you into legal jeopardy and cause advertisers to flee because they don't want to be associated with the nonsensical content that will embarrass their brands. there is tension between what the right wing audience wants and what networks will give them versus what's actually in the business interest of those networks. am i getting that right? >> first of all, you are not crazy. second of all, in terms of the source of this demand, where does the demand come from in the first place? is this demand that has resulted from the cultivation of this sort of distrust that happened over the last several d

by roger ailes and rupert murdoch and rush limbaugh. they influenced the way republicanism and conservatism sound and the way it attacks its opponents. and what generations of self-described conservatives think. one of limbaugh's crusades during the 2018 campaigns was called operation chaos, by urging his voters to vote en masse for hillary clinton over barack obama in democratic primaries to keep the perceived weaker candidate and the one who represented the feminists who had so villainized as femminnazi. >> the original purpose of this was to make sure that obama got bloodied up politically. i want hillary to stay in this. this is too good a soap opera. we need a barack obama blooied up politically. and it's obvious the republicans are not going to do it and don't have the stomach for it. the point of this is to extend it exactly as it has been extended. to have these people go at each other's throats. she has half the country that hates her according to disapproval numbers. we've succeeded here even beyond our wildest objectives. >>

led by rupert murdoch, they argued their expensive journalism makes the platforms more credible. >> this is an assault on a sovereign nation, it is an assault on people's freedom, and in particular, it is an utter abusive big technologies market power and control over technology. reporter: yet the data giants have strong counter arguments. publishers choose to be on facebook because they derive value from it with reach and traffic that can be monetized. the tech giant set up funds to invest heavily in journalism and moreer, they say anyone forcing someone just for linking to them breaches a fundamental aspect of the web and favors news over others. they want money so people can link. this breaks down the way the world wide web has worked up until now. they s a dangerous precedent. for now, british users will be affected but regulars and legislators everywhere will come under pressure to follow australia's example. >> if we see australia being bullied in this manner and effectively we end up in a situation where facebook can get its own way, that is going to damage other countries, includ
