For the second night in a row, the vile leftist Lawrence O’Donnell melted down over the fact that Rupert Murdoch dared to create a news channel that doesn’t tow the leftist media line. The worst part of the unhinged rant came at the beginning of O’Donnell’s MSNBC show The last word when he accused Murdoch and Republican politicians of not caring how “large the body count gets” in what he describes as “the permanent white supremacist assassination campaign in this country.”
Much like he did on Monday night, O’Donnell blamed Fox News chairman and founder Rupert Murdoch for the shooting at the Buffalo supermarket on Saturday. O’Donnell wailed that no one has profited more from the great replacement theory “lie than billionaire Rupert Murdoch, who has complete and total control over all of the lies pushed on the Fox network that he owns and operates.”
O’Donnell then proceeded to tout Senator Schumer (D-NY) pulling a Harry Reid in writing a letter to the boss of a hugely popular and influential conservative media figure. “New York’s senior Senator Chuck Schumer finally identified the real source of white supremacist propaganda at Fox in addressing a letter directly to Rupert Murdoch” O’Donnell said proudly before reading a portion of the letter:
Dear Mr. Rupert Murdoch, I write to urge you to immediately cease the reckless amplification of the so-called great replacement theory on your network’s broadcasts. These beliefs were commonplace in American culture for many years. This pernicious belief, though unfounded, is now mainstream. It’s thanks to the dangerous amplification of your network and anchors. The most recent New York TimesInvestigation revealed that Tucker Carlson was the only one to have amplified this unfounded and dangerous theory in over 400 episodes.
After playing a portion of Schumer’s whiny speech on the Senate floor from Tuesday afternoon, O’Donnell jumped headfirst into the gutter and irresponsibly claimed “Rupert Murdoch does not care. No. Republican politicians do not care how large the body count gets in the permanent white supremacist assassination campaign in this country” “they don’t feel a thing.”
Claiming the chairman of a major news network and the Republican Party don’t care how many Americans die from mass shootings is beyond disgusting. This is a false assumption. In his manifesto, the mass shooter responsible for the massacre in Buffalo stated that he believed Fox News was trying to take him out.
Murdoch should hand the Schumer letter he received to Tucker Carlson, so that he can auction it off as a Rush Limbaugh item.

MSNBC’s The last word
5/17/2022
Eastern 10:03 p.m.LAWRENCE O’DONNELL: No one has profited more from that lie than billionaire Rupert Murdoch, who has complete and total control over all of the lies pushed on the Fox network that he owns and operates. This morning before flying to Buffalo on Airforce One with President Biden, New York’s senior Senator Chuck Schumer finally identified the real source of white supremacist propaganda at Fox in addressing a letter directly to Rupert Murdoch. The letter says, dear Mr. Rupert Murdoch, I write to urge you to immediately cease the reckless amplification of the so-called great replacement theory on your network’s broadcasts. These types of belief have been present in American culture for many years. This dangerous theory that has no foundation in reality has become mainstream because of the dangers of being amplified by networks and anchors. New York Times investigative report found Tucker Carlson was the only one to have amplified this unfounded and dangerous theory over more than 400 episodes.
(…)
O’DONNELL: Senator Schumer then suggested a direct link between the words that Rupert Murdoch pays Tucker Carlson to say and the words written by the Buffalo mass murderer before he loaded his weapons of war with the intent of murdering as many black people as possible.
(…)
O’DONNELL: They don’t care. Rupert Murdoch does not care. No. Republican politicians are not concerned about the number of bodies involved in permanent white supremacist killing campaigns in this country. They aren’t bothered by it. Rupert Murdoch is now richer than ever as lies and racists have grown more extreme.
