(Breitbart)—Aging billionaire Rupert Murdoch’s sprawling empire of U.S. media properties, including most notably the Wall Street Journal but also Fox News and the New York Post, have been steadily ramping up attacks on Vice President JD Vance.
The barrage on Vance, which seems to be a continuation of the Murdoch properties’ unsuccessful efforts to stop President Donald Trump from selecting Vance as his running mate last year during the 2024 presidential election, has included well more than a dozen hits in the Wall Street Journal against him and individual hits in the New York Post and Fox News as well.
The efforts from Murdoch’s properties are drawing the ire of people close to the president and vice president as well, with one source close to Vance telling Breitbart News that this is quite clearly a globalist plot to undermine the president’s agenda on peace and trade.
“Neocons have been screwing up U.S. foreign policy for decades and they’re furious that they have no foothold in this administration,” a source close to Vance told Breitbart News. “President Trump has ended Houthi terrorist attacks on U.S. ships, freed all living American hostages in Gaza and he’s forcing Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table and stopping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. They hate his success because it has exposed them as massive failures.”
A senior GOP political adviser added that this shows the Murdoch properties are out of step with the direction of the Republican Party.
