Some of his last acts on Earth were to call for peace, disarmament, a ceasefire in Gaza, the release of prisoners, and to par J.D. Vance.

Top behaviour.

There will be no outrage over the Israeli military butchering these two Palestinian children.

Thousands of Palestinian kids have been slaughtered by Israel without any outrage from Western media outlets and politicians.

It isn’t even subtle racism. It’s deafening racism.

No congressional spouses were allowed in the Rotunda for the ceremony today. Different rules for the oligarchs.

Ireland stands proudly as a country against genocide.

Our stance against apartheid, illegal occupation & ethnic cleansing has led to this decision.

To present it as anything else is fundamentally dishonest, something we have come to expect from this brutal Israeli government.

Many years ago, I visited Auschwitz and a photo of a young girl staring at me from a wall broke my world.

This short video just broke my world all over again.

In October 2024, TMZ, a subsidiary of Fox Corporation, found itself at the centre of controversy following the publication of highly sensitive and inappropriate material involving deceased former One Direction member Liam Payne. The article, which included photos of Payne’s body, sparked public outrage over the exploitation of personal tragedies for media gain. Though TMZ quickly retracted the content after significant backlash, the incident reignited global discussions about the ethical responsibilities of media outlets under corporate ownership. Lachlan Murdoch, as CEO of Fox Corporation, faced significant public scrutiny despite having no direct involvement in TMZ’s editorial decisions. The controversy highlighted growing calls for stronger regulation of tabloid media practices.

Following the incident, Murdoch reportedly intervened, reminding senior executives of their ethical obligations, and stressing that even within the profit-driven media industry, moral considerations must be taken into account.

This incident fuelled broader debates about the balance between press freedom and ethical journalism, with critics urging Murdoch and other media leaders to impose stricter internal guidelines to prevent such breaches in the future.

As the head of both Fox Corporation and News Corp, Lachlan Murdoch is a pivotal figure in global media. His leadership influences major outlets, including tabloids known for their controversial content. The 2024 TMZ incident, where sensitive personal material was irresponsibly published, has reignited conversations around press ethics and the need for stricter regulation of media outlets owned by corporate conglomerates.

Murdoch’s media empire has been a frequent target of criticism for its handling of journalistic ethics, especially in relation to sensationalism and privacy breaches. Despite public concerns, Murdoch has defended the role of media in democratic societies, asserting the importance of a free press while simultaneously balancing shareholder interests. However, this balancing act has led to increasing calls from various advocacy groups for more stringent oversight and regulation, aiming to curb unethical practices and protect public interest.

Lachlan Murdoch's rise to the top of the Murdoch media empire has not come without internal conflict. As of 2024, a legal battle is underway in the Murdoch family over the future leadership of News Corp and Fox Corp. Lachlan's siblings, James Murdoch, Elisabeth Murdoch, and half-sister Prudence MacLeod, are challenging their father Rupert Murdoch's attempt to amend the family trust, which would secure Lachlan's control over the vast media conglomerate. The trust, which governs the family's stake in the two companies, was originally set up to give all of Rupert's children an equal say in the future of the businesses.

As public trust in media continues to erode, Murdoch and his corporation's responses to these incidents will likely play a crucial role in shaping future discussions on media regulation and ethical journalism.

In Gaza, surviving Palestinians are forced to be creative in order to live.

Ahmed has been making these incredible videos.

As they suffer thanks to the complicity of our governments, the least we can do is to watch - and to share.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Politics is about choices - and the government is choosing to inflict pain and poverty across the country.
