President Donald Trump offered The Wall Street Journal’s owner Rupert Murdoch a suggestion about the newspaper’s editorial leadership on Friday.
The president posted on Truth Social, “I highly recommend Keith Poole, who is the very successful Editor-in-Chief of the New York Post, to take over the entire operation of the highly inaccurate, ‘China Centric,’ Wall Street Journal. It’s an easy move for Rupert, and he’ll love the results. Such a change would be a GREAT DAY for America, but not a Great Day for China!”
Murdoch, a global media mogul with a net worth of approximately $19 billion, also owns the New York Post as part of his News Corp media holdings.
