00:28History 101: How Rupert Mudoch Created Fox News and Poisoned America
in History
History's purpose, I gleaned from great historians, is to keep us focused on the present as citizens by learning about the historical figures and situations of our collective and interlocking pasts. So today, to avoid a descent into authoritarianism and fascism, I say we must look to the past for guidance. And we must follow the words of Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan: You are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts.
Murdoch doesn't just have the power to settle lawsuits, he has the power to move world events, almost always in a negative and harmful way. Three of the most destructive events of the 21st century, the Iraq war, the January 6 insurrection and Trump's Big Lie simply could not have happened without Rupert Murdoch saying, "Let's do it."

About History
As Carl Sagan said, "You have to know the past to understand the present." History has shaped our nation's character, and our collective strength is measured in how we came together during our most challenging moments: the Civil War, World War I, Prohibition, World War II, the Dust Bowl, McCarthyism, the Cold War, the Challenger disaster, Operation Desert Storm, 9/11 and countless struggles before and since. But history also contains triumphs, from ending slavery to the moon landing to the fall of the Berlin Wall to Mars rover Curiosity. Join in discussion on these and more with historians, collectors, authors, professors and conspiracy theorists alike. Our hosts also show much support for our troops and military families. In fact, technology has played a big part in bringing soldiers closer to home, as they text, email and Skype from the front, and our “talk to the troops†episodes are always inspiring.
