"The current American political debate is profound, whether about education or welfare or economic opportunity," Murdoch, executive chairman of News Corp., announced on Wednesday throughout the company's annual meeting of stockholders.
"It is crucial that conservatives play an active, forceful role in that debate, but that will not happen if President Trump stays focused on the past."
Ever since President Biden's triumph, Trump has maintained that the election was "rigged" and that he really won. The claim culminated in the Jan. 6 insurrection, when Trump followers broke into the Capitol to attempt and stop Biden's certification as president.

Notwithstanding inspections that confirmed vote counts and no evidence of fraud, Trump has not conceded and has turned against any Republican who doesn't back his charges.
"If we don't solve the Presidential Election Fraud of 2020 . . . Republicans will not be voting in '22 or '24," Trump wrote in October.

Murdoch emphasized that there are many more critical problems. "The past is the past, and the country is now in a contest to define the future," he stated.

Furthermore, in remarks to shareholders of News Corp., Murdoch criticized Facebook and Google for censoring conservatives.
"For many years, our company has been leading the global debate about Big Digital. What we have seen in the past few weeks about the practices at Facebook and Google surely reinforces the need for significant reform," the News Corp. executive chairman announced. "There is no doubt that Facebook employees try to silence conservative voices, and a quick Google News search on most contemporary topics often reveals a similar pattern of selectivity — or, to be blunt, censorship."

Robert Thomson, News Corp.'s CEO, stated that the company opposed "cancel culture designed to silence diverse voices."
"As Rupert mentioned, there's obvious censorship, as was experienced at the New York Post, and the more subtle institutionalized censorship in Big Digital," he stated. "It's a confluence of the institutional, the technological, the social and political, and it is important that we stand firm against that morbistic movement to mute."

Cries to rein in Big Tech's business practices have come to a boil lately. Last month, an updated version of a lawsuit that a group of states led by Texas filed against Google announced the Web-search monster commands top brokerages on both the buy-side and sell-side in the online advertising market and holds a 22 percent to 42 percent cut of US ad spending that moves through its systems.
