"News Corporation chief Rupert Murdoch directed his editors to "kill Whitlam" [not a physical threat] some 10 months before the downfall of Gough Whitlam's Labor government."
US National Archives declassified a secret diplomatic telegram dated January 20, 1975 that sheds new light on Murdoch's involvement in the tumultuous events of Australia's 1975 constitutional crisis.
Entitled "Australian publisher privately turns on Prime Minister," the telegram from US Consul-General in Melbourne, Robert Brand, reported to the State Department that "Rupert Murdoch has issued [a] confidential instruction to editors of newspapers he controls to 'Kill Whitlam' ".
I was in high school in Melbourne when this cockroach's [Rupert Murdoch] instructions, ended with the removal of Gough Withlam as prime minister after controversially being dismissed by the governor-general of Australia. Whitlam is the only Australian prime minister to have been removed from office.
Murdoch has a deep personal involvement with politics and he is/ has used his news media to advance his views. He is doing the same old - same old to President Trump.
