Class warfare

Class War Fuck the Poor Politics As Usual

Now why do you suppose a right-wing billionaire is so invested in Michelle Rhee and the destruction of public education?

In his new book, Class Warfare, Steven Brill confirms that Michelle Rhee is being funded by Rupert Murdoch. Murdoch, CEO of News Corp., is currently embroiled in a growing cell phone hacking scandal. Rhee’s mentor, Joel Klein, serves as Murdoch’s chief legal counsel. News Corp is the parent company of far-right FoxNews.

Last month Rhee refused to confirm or deny whether she and her front group had taken Murdoch money.

According to credible sources, Rhee took as much as $50M from Murdoch.
