News Corp Executive Sees 'Healthy Debate' in Climate Denial
News Corp Australia's executive chair, Michael Miller, told a Senate inquiry that his outlets aren't part of a 'denial machine' for platforming climate sceptics. He claims this is just 'healthy debate.' (Guardian World). One might recall Rupert Murdoch’s own history of climate skepticism, a pervasive editorial stance across his global empire, conveniently aligning with fossil fuel interests. News
Corp's publications, like the Wall Street Journal and Sky News Australia, have a well-documented track record of downplaying climate change and amplifying fringe voices. This isn't 'debate'; it's a carefully curated echo chamber designed to muddy public understanding, protecting the status quo—and lucrative advertising revenues—from inconvenient scientific facts. How else does one reconcile 'no
coordination' with decades of consistent editorial bias?
