This poll assesses the total legal and financial consequences faced by Rupert Murdoch's media companies (Fox Corp & News Corp).

These companies face criticism for their business model, often described as "outrage journalism" - a media style using highly emotional, sensational, or partisan content to provoke a strong reaction and capture an audience. Critics link this model to the spread of misinformation and political polarisation.

This poll asks if the legal penalties paid to date are an appropriate response to the companies' proven and alleged actions, including:

1. US Defamation: The $787.5 million settlement paid to Dominion Voting Systems after Fox News broadcast false claims about the 2020 election.

2. UK Phone Hacking: The closure of the News of the World newspaper and hundreds of millions of pounds paid in settlements for widespread illegal information gathering.

3. Regulatory Breaches: Formal findings by media regulators (like Australia's ACMA) that outlets breached broadcasting codes for inaccuracy and misinformation.

This market will resolve to the option with the highest percentage on December 1, 2025.
