Rupert Murdoch- Fox News Owner

https://irishcabal.blogspot.com/2026/02/fox-news-gaelic-company-w-epstein-ties.html

Epstein had Murdoch surrounded. It's all in federal files. And the network Murdoch owns is the last one that will show you that.

***

A most interesting thing about the Epstein story isn't what any single outlet covers. It's that every outlet capable of exposing another outlet has its own reason not to.

CNN could expose Fox's conflict of interest with Murdoch in the Epstein files. Fox could expose CNN's connections. The New York Times, MSNBC, every major institution with the resources to go deep on this story — they all operated in the same elite circles Epstein moved through. The files don't just implicate one network or one political side. They cut across all of it simultaneously.

So what you end up with is a situation where every watchdog is also a suspect. Every outlet that could blow the story open has something to protect. Not necessarily the same thing, but enough that none of them will go all the way. They cover the edges, point fingers at each other, and collectively ensure the center is never truly examined.

That's not a conspiracy. That's something more straightforward and in some ways more troubling — it's a system that protects itself automatically, without coordination, because everyone inside it understands the same unspoken rule. You don't pull that thread because you don't know where it stops.

Which is exactly why the only people likely to ever tell the full story are the ones outside that system entirely.

 

 

Rupert Murdoch, Fox News & The Epstein Files — What The Documents Actually Show

---

What The DOJ Files Reveal

• Murdoch's NY Post allegedly hacked Epstein's phones to monitor his access to Prince Andrew 

• Murdoch allegedly paid a woman to make accusations against Andrew — the Palace told Epstein this directly 

• The British Royal Palace asked Epstein personally to file a RICO lawsuit in New York against Murdoch, targeting his $40 billion BSkyB acquisition at its most vulnerable moment 

• While this was happening Epstein was casually corresponding with Michael Wolff — the man who wrote the definitive biography of Rupert Murdoch 

• Epstein's personal assistant was coordinating visits by Rupert Murdoch's wife Wendi to Epstein's private home 

• Epstein's own contact Ian Osborne was simultaneously a houseguest at the Murdoch family home 

• Ghislaine Maxwell — Epstein's closest operational partner — was socially connected to Murdoch despite their families being rival media dynasties

The one line summary: Epstein had leverage on Murdoch from every direction at once — legal, intelligence, media, and personal — and it's all documented in federal files.

The Full Picture

This isn't a series of random overlapping social encounters. It's a portrait of Epstein sitting at the center of a web with one of the most powerful media families on earth surrounding him from multiple angles simultaneously.

• Murdoch surveilled Epstein — His organization considered Epstein's communications valuable enough to illegally intercept. You don't tap someone's phones unless they have information worth monitoring 

• The Palace weaponized Epstein against Murdoch — They didn't go to lawyers or governments. They went to Epstein specifically because he had the access, the standing, and the leverage to trigger federal criminal scrutiny of News Corp's entire American operation 

• Murdoch's biographer was in Epstein's contact list — The one journalist with the deepest inside knowledge of Murdoch's empire was casually making plans to meet Epstein for drinks in New York while all of this was unfolding 

• Murdoch's wife was being scheduled into Epstein's home — By his personal staff. Multiple internal documents on the same night confirm it was actively arranged 

• Maxwell bridged both worlds — Epstein's closest operational partner maintained social ties to Murdoch despite the Maxwell and Murdoch families being legendary media rivals

--All of it is sitting in federal files at justice.gov. (see below)

One line summary: Epstein didn't just know Murdoch's world — he had it surrounded.

Why Fox News Won't Go All The Way On Epstein

Most people watching Fox News cover the Epstein files see a network that talks about the story but never quite goes where the story leads. There's a reason for that.

What Fox actually did during the Epstein files release:

• During Pam Bondi's congressional testimony on the Epstein files MSNBC mentioned Epstein over 300 times in three hours, CNN over 150 times — Fox News mentioned him three times and didn't carry the hearing live 

• A congressional ranking member sent a formal letter directly to Lachlan Murdoch accusing Fox of deceptively editing a Trump interview on the Epstein files — making Trump appear to fully support releasing everything when raw footage showed him clearly hedging 

• Congress demanded to know who made that editorial decision and whether the Trump campaign was involved 

• Rather than investigating, Fox ran opinion pieces framing Trump as a 20-year hero who exposed Epstein — while Trump's name appears over 3,000 times in the released files

The conflict hiding in plain sight:

Fox's audience is the most primed in America to care about elite corruption. Fox has the platform, the reach, and the credibility with exactly the demographic demanding Epstein answers. And yet the network owned by a family whose name appears in Epstein's own federal files is doing the least actual digging while simultaneously managing the narrative around who the story is and isn't about.

Nobody has to issue a memo for this to work. Producers and anchors at a network understand instinctively which rocks don't get turned over. The Murdoch name in those files is the rock.

When you watch Fox News cover Epstein and feel like something is being managed rather than investigated — you're not imagining it. The network protecting powerful people from the Epstein story is owned by a man whose own organization appears in the Epstein files. That's not a coincidence. That's the story behind the story.

One line summary: The network with the most to gain from exposing Epstein is owned by the family with the most to lose.

Three DOJ Files — Wendi Murdoch & Epstein, 2012

File 1 — August 18, 2012 (EFTA00941159) Epstein himself writes that "Ian is staying with Rupert Murdoch and his wife." Epstein's own contact Ian Osborne is a houseguest of the Murdochs. Epstein is casually tracking this like it's routine information in his world.

File 2 — September 27, 2012, 5:22 PM (EFTA02157919) Epstein's personal assistant Lesley Groff emails Ian Osborne directly asking whether Wendi Murdoch — Rupert's wife — can stop by Epstein's home that night at 9pm. This is being coordinated through Epstein's own staff.

File 3 — September 27, 2012, 7:19 PM (EFTA02158137) Same night, two hours later, a separate internal alert goes out — "Wendi Murdoch tonight?" — confirming the visit was still being actively arranged.

She was still married to Rupert Murdoch at the time.

The complete picture across all files:

Epstein's inner circle had direct access to Rupert Murdoch's wife. His assistant was personally coordinating her visits to his home. His contacts were houseguests of the Murdochs. This wasn't a distant connection — Wendi Murdoch was being scheduled into Epstein's private residence by his own staff while simultaneously being married to the man the Palace had asked Epstein to destroy in court.

What This File Proves About the Epstein-Murdoch Connection

The DOJ file doesn't show a friendship or business deal between Epstein and Murdoch — it shows something more dangerous. It reveals that Epstein had enough insider knowledge about Murdoch's operations, enough proximity to the British Royal Palace, and enough legal leverage to potentially bring down the biggest media acquisition in Murdoch's career at its most vulnerable moment.

Murdoch's people were allegedly surveilling Epstein

The NY Post — Murdoch's American tabloid — allegedly hacked Epstein's phones. This means Murdoch's organization considered Epstein's communications valuable enough to illegally intercept. You don't tap someone's phone unless they have information or connections worth monitoring. Epstein's link to Prince Andrew was apparently the prize they were hunting.

Murdoch allegedly paid to manufacture allegations against Andrew

This is the most explosive element. If true, Murdoch's operation wasn't just passively gathering information — they were actively running an influence operation against the Royal Family, fabricating or funding accusations against a sitting prince. That's not journalism, that's leverage.

Epstein was positioned as the Royal Family's weapon against Murdoch

The Palace didn't go to a law firm. They didn't go through diplomatic channels. They came to Jeffrey Epstein and asked him to file in New York. That choice is deliberate and revealing. Epstein had the US legal standing, the connections, and presumably the dirt needed to make Murdoch's worst nightmare — a RICO action on American soil — a reality.

The timing was designed to destroy Murdoch's $40 billion deal

This conversation happened while Murdoch's BSkyB acquisition was hanging by a thread. A US federal lawsuit alleging organized criminal conduct would have finished it permanently and potentially triggered DOJ and FBI scrutiny of News Corp's entire American operation. Murdoch knew this. The Palace knew this. Epstein knew this.

The bottom line

Epstein and Murdoch weren't allies here — Epstein was being loaded as a missile pointed directly at Murdoch's empire. The fact that the Palace trusted Epstein with this role, and that Epstein was seriously weighing it, proves he operated at a level of power and access that went far beyond what was publicly understood. He wasn't just connected to powerful people — he was a tool that powerful institutions considered deploying against each other.

>>> Understanding what this email proves:

File EFTA01775569 — Simple Breakdown

Epstein and Michael Wolff are casually emailing, planning to meet up in New York. Friendly, relaxed, regular contact.

Michael Wolff is not just any journalist — he wrote the definitive biography of Rupert Murdoch in 2008. He had more inside access to Murdoch's world than anyone in media.

This email is dated September 2011 — right in the middle of the phone hacking scandal consuming Murdoch's empire.

The simple point:

Epstein had a casual personal relationship with the man who literally wrote the book on Rupert Murdoch, while simultaneously being approached by the Palace to weaponize US courts against Murdoch.

The author of Murdoch's biography was in Epstein's contact list and making plans to meet him for drinks.
