## Resource

A new book exposes the chilling tactics of the Murdoch media empire, revealing a pattern of personal attacks dubbed “Getting Murdoched.” Former journalists Andrew Dodd and Matthew Ricketson detail how News Corp and Fox outlets systematically discredit dissenters—not just through disagreement, but by weaponizing their personal lives, families, and minor missteps. From an Indigenous academic targeted with 16 articles in 16 days to a librarian threatened with a bomb hoax, the human cost is devastating. The authors argue this “dark art” perverts journalism, turning it into a tool to silence critics and erode democracy, creating global echo chambers that amplify fear and distortion.
