| Kathryn Murdoch, 47, tweeted Saturday shortly after media prematurely declared Biden winner. The Murdoch's Own Fox News. |
- Kathryn Murdoch, 47, tweeted Saturday shortly after Biden was anointed by media
- She also shared posts that referenced 'Trump's authoritarian antics'
- On Election Day she wrote: 'What will you tell your children or your future self about the part you played in history?'
- Her husband James Murdoch stepped down from News Corp board in July
- Kathryn also agreed with a remark by CNN host Jake Tapper in an earlier tweet
- Tapper said Murdochs must acknowledge there is no evidence of vote fraud
On Election Day she had written: 'What will you tell your children or your future self about the part you played in history?'
By Saturday she had also shared posts that referenced 'Trump's authoritarian antics' and 'surviving the gravest threat to our system of government since the Civil War'.
Kathryn, 47, had also voiced her agreement that her family, which owns Fox News, must 'put their country above their profits' and disavow President Donald Trump's claims of widespread voter fraud.
Her husband James stepped down from the board of Fox News parent News Corp in July, citing disagreements with some of the company's editorial content.
Kathryn expressed the sentiment in a tweet on Friday, saying she agreed with CNN host Jake Tapper, who had stated: 'The Murdochs and the people at Fox have an obligation to put their country above their profits. It is very important that people make it very clear -- that there is no credible evidence of widespread fraud.'
'I agree with this,' Kathryn tweeted. Her remark came as little surprise given her history of public criticism of Fox News coverage, particularly on the topic of climate change, and her work with groups such as Unite America on bridging partisan divides.
Kathryn's latest comments came at a time when Fox News and other media outlets faced divisive questions over how to cover the...
Small China islets in South China Sea show signs of new construction
Although they receive less attention than China’s biggest artificial islands, construction continues apace on its smaller outposts built atop tiny islets in the South China Sea, satellite imagery shows.
The work pales in comparison to the binge in Chinese land reclamation and construction between 2014 and 2017, when Beijing established its major bases on disputed features in the Paracel and Spratly archipelagoes.
But the imagery reviewed by RFA of several small land features over the past six months shows signs of new housing, power supplies, cultivation and potentially a helipad.
Here’s a look at three locations, where the construction suggests China is trying to solve persistent problems faced by some of its smallest holdings in the South China Sea: access, sustainability, and soil erosion.
At Drummond Island in the Paracel chain, where currently boats have to thread their way through a canal-like trench to reach the dock, a helipad appears to be being built.
Bigger outposts like Woody Island – China’s main base in the Paracels, which is just under two square miles -- have airfields where transport planes and fighter jets can land. That’s not feasible on islets as tiny as Drummond, which covers just one-tenth of one square mile.
But a helipad is possible. And satellite imagery shows a paved area of roughly 70,000 square feet has been laid since May.
China occupies virtually every rock and sandbar in the Paracel archipelago, a grouping of land features in the northern half of the South China Sea that is claimed by China, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Woody Island is China’s largest human settlement in the archipelago and regularly hosts warships from...
Document: Biden Administration Plans to Revoke Trump EO Banning Critical Race Theory Trainings in Government on Day 1
So much for uniting the country.
A new document indicates that Joe Biden plans to rescind President Donald Trump’s executive order banning racialist and divisive critical race theory trainings in government in the first days of his presidency, if he’s inaugurated.
The trainings have occurred in major federal agencies and departments, and employees are frequently coerced into participating. CRT trainings commonly accuse white Americans at large of being “racist,” within high-paid corporate “diversity consultants” such as Robin DeAngelo haranguing them for supposed complicity in what they say is “white supremacy.”
The document outlining Joe Biden’s slated list of planned executive orders was leaked from the Glover Park Group, a neoliberal establishment Democrat consulting company that is reportedly working hand-in-hand with Biden’s transition team.
The list of executive actions includes a multitude of other planned orders Biden or his campaign have alluded to before. Joe Biden has never addressed the divisive topic of critical race theory before, remaining silent in September when President Trump signed an order designed to prevent their use in the federal government or among private contractors utilized by the government.
“Rescind Trump EO suspending diversity training programs for federal employees and contractors” is featured as a bullet point under the “Race, Justice and Diversity” portion of the document.
Biden spoke of uniting the country when he claimed the presidency on...
