Murdoch Accuses Facebook, Google Of Censoring Conservative Voices Authored by Daniel Teng via The Epoch Times, Rupert Murdoch has accused tech giants Google and Facebook of silencing conservative voices on their platforms and has called for significant reform and transparency around digital advertising supply chains. What we have seen in the past few weeks about the practices at Facebook and Google surely reinforces the need for significant reform, the News Corp executive chairman told an annual shareholder meeting on Nov. 17.

Former prime ministers Kevin Rudd and Malcolm Turnbull are being "destroyed by their obsession" with News Corp, according to Sky News host Andrew Bolt. Mr Bolt said both men are now "absolutely manic" to "destroy" the people they blame for their fall from office. "I can''t remember two former prime ministers who have been so angry and so determined to get revenge than Kevin Rudd and his new good friend Malcolm Turnbull," he said. "As the Chinese proverb says, let those who seek revenge dig two graves one for themselves." Mr Bolt said the wives of both men had also joined them in their "obsession". "Four people two Rudds, two Turnbulls united in hatred of the Murdochs and Morrison and in that hatred made blind, and delusional," he said.

The Rise And Fall Of MySpace According to reporting by Bloomberg, the MySpace clone SpaceHey has passed the 200,000 user mark one year after its launch.
