The MAGA media machine devours its own when loyalty wavers. Today, Trump sued Murdoch—his propagandist-in-chief—for $10B over a WSJ story exposing Epstein ties. Even Fox’s kingmaker isn’t safe from the admin’s “100% ratings” purity test.  

This admin’s war on press freedom escalates:  
- July XX lawsuit punishes Murdoch for allowing journalistic standards  
- May X EO defunded NPR/PBS to replace public media with “White House Wire” propaganda  
- Fox ratings (+13% since Jan) reward complicity while WSJ gets sued for truth-telling  

When autocrats cannibalize their own media enablers, democracy’s funeral march quickens.
