The image shows Rupert Murdoch using gas cans labeled with "Fox News" walking away from a burning Statue of Liberty which is suppose to be representing democracy. The technique used in this propaganda is attacking opponents because the artist clearly tries to vilify Rupert Murdoch and the Fox News organization by blaming them for a fall of democracy and hint that they will be taking over. It also appears the the cartoon's motive shows Murdoch walking away as if his only goal is to destroy democracy, which can be a rather harmful depiction.
