Just saw where James Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch's son and CEO of 21st Century Fox wrote a scathing letter about Trumps response to Charlottesville and donated $1 Million dollars to the anti defamation league.

That won't go over well with his party at all.

1 MILLION dollars for a few punks with a Nazi flag?

Since Charlottesville 11 people killed and 40 wounded in Chicago, 5 killed in Baltimore, but at least the left can argue over statues.

Why isn't anybody dealing with that.....but of course, Trump is the problem. We have a national crisis of Nazis killing people coast to coast.....we need to invesnt millions of dollars on this.

I thought that was just the weekend number for Chicago, surely it's gone up since?

Trump deflects to statues, the media deflects to statues while hundreds die every month in this country, I made that point yesterday and received zero response.

So here's another opportunist taking advantage of a tragic event for the sake of getting some publicity.

He joins the politicians who hold up a finger to see which way the wind blows, and decide they want to be seen as siding with the left's sentiments (safer that way). Denial of truth is what makes news in this instance. Truth does not advance their agenda. And, since they vote...

The media and the left and now Hollywood make it sound that we have an epidemic crisis of Nazis killing people with their cars coast to coast. Like if we don't talk about it 24/7 they will grow and take over the country and brainwash us to join the club.

Meanwhile the real massacres in Chicago, D.C. and Baltimore are being ignored.......this country is a joke.

Well, these nazis just used ISIL tactics such as a car in mowing people down like in Europe. They also already have access to high powered weaponry since being armed is our right.

I am watching a show about the history of Australia. Rupert's father (Keith), was a fascinating person regarding his journalistic adventures during WWI. As I watched, I was suddenly struck that, for years, I have been reading about Keith's son (not grandson or such), Rupert.

If nothing else, learn about the elder Murdoch. It will give you (and others) some perspective about Rupert (his father's son, as they say), and 'why' Rupert has been as he is.
