The bashing of Donald Trump by Rupert Murdoch's US newspapers looks like a familiar pattern of the Australian-born media baron turning on political leaders who are no longer useful to him.

"Kill Whitlam."

This was the confidential instruction for a political hit job issued by Rupert Murdoch in the mid-1970s to his editors, according to an American diplomat's telegram sent to the US Department of State.

So one critical tweet equals ditching.

Depending on how things develop within the gop also the present ditching could easily turn into just a temporary thing.

Indeed, like 2015, Murdoch is testing the wind but will fall in behind any creep who gets the nomination.
