Not that long ago, Rupert Murdoch abandoned his climate scepticism and pledged to cut emissions within his media empire. Then, something changed

editorialising in favour of moving the climate change debate forward on Thursday.

"James has always been more forward-thinking on social issues than his father or his brother Lachlan, so I'm sure his and Kathryn's views are well-known within the family and the senior levels of the company," Mr Armstrong said. "James and Lachlan are ideologically apart and will continue to be," one of the former executives said. One former executive said James would be looking to intentionally distance himself from the scrutiny his family was over its local coverage.

"It's a complete overreach on behalf of some of their high-profile columnists and broadcasters," one former executive said, who suggested they should be focusing on mitigating problems. "It is a genuinely challenging dilemma for all executive, editorial leaders and working journalists in 21st century media," Mr Williams said.

James Murdoch breaks ranks over 'climate change denial'James Murdoch has accused his family's global media empire of promoting climate denialism in a stunning attack on News Corporation's climate coverage. Oh man, just wait until he sees what his father's news outlet thinks about immigrants and women and minorities and Muslims and people who say happy holidays and extra-judicial killings and *time passed* and abortion and voter rights and that one time Obama wore a tan suit. I’d heard James Murdoch has very different views from his family and that Lachlan was more conservative than his father. As soon as the LNP are voted out in 2022 legislation has to be changed to rid Australia of Newscorp and Murdochs. BoycottMurdoch MurdochMuck auspol Every family has a black sheep. Unfortunately, this one is the reverse. A family of evil sheep has but one good lamb. It seems.

James Murdoch shows News Corp climate criticism goes to top of family treeJames Murdoch's frustration at News Corp's climate coverage reflects how peripheral he has become to the media empire he once seemed destined to control.

It seems to me more likely part of a concerted effort to try to show they get it, when they never will. Ultimately the bastards have nowhere to hide.

Tell sarahmurdoch to HaveAWordWithYourHusband (Sarah's hubby is Lachlan, heir to the thrown.) Sarah does loads for charities and great causes and appears to ha e a good heart. Perhaps she can turn Lachlan's views around?

'Climate on steroids': We're changing the way the planet operates, says professor of Climate CouncilThe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the United States has released its Annual Global Climate Report and it has revealed 2019 was the second hottest year ever recorded. Cool, with all of humanities short commings I say let them burn! Do we deserve to survive? Will Global warming stop the Lust for power, Control & Greed? Is Global warming actually real or fabricated by the global rulers to justify excuses? Why did the U.S. invest in H.A.A.R.P.? Viewer Discretion - May Trigger 💧s Bollocks. There's only one primary driver of climate here on Earth, and it's NOT humans. Remove the sun from the equation and there IS no climate, not one conducive to life anyway.
