The barrage on Vance, which seems to be a continuation of the Murdoch properties' unsuccessful efforts to stop President Donald Trump from selecting Vance as his running mate last year during the 2024 presidential election, has included well more than a dozen hits in the Wall Street Journal against him and individual hits in the New York Post and Fox News as well.

The efforts from Murdoch's properties are drawing the ire of people close to the president and vice president as well, with one source close to Vance telling Breitbart News that this is quite clearly a globalist plot to undermine the president's agenda on peace and trade.

"Neocons have been screwing up U.S. foreign policy for decades and they're furious that they have no foothold in this administration," a source close to Vance told Breitbart News. "President Trump has ended Houthi terrorist attacks on U.S. ships, freed all living American hostages in Gaza and he's forcing Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table and stopping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. They hate his success because it has exposed them as massive failures."

A senior GOP political adviser added that this shows the Murdoch properties are out of step with the direction of the Republican Party.

"It's a shame so much of the old guard media is still pushing forever wars and completely out of touch with the direction of the GOP," the GOP adviser told Breitbart News.

Another GOP strategist with close ties to the Trump White House, added that people inside the administration and those close to it are more than happy to work with other outlets like Breitbart News instead of Fox News and the Wall Street Journal since those outlets seem to be running counter to the wishes of the electorate.

"President Trump has been the leader of the Republican Party for almost a decade, and Murdoch-media still isn't onboard with his agenda," the strategist said. "They're digging their own graves and they're going to keep losing access. There are plenty of outlets the White House can talk to, like Breitbart, who reach Republican voters and actually believe in making America great."

Dating back to February, the Wall Street Journal has run a whopping 17 op-eds at least, and letters-to-the-editor attacking Vance—a pattern that seems to have increased in frequency in late May and early June. They attack Vance mostly on economic and foreign policy issues, showing a deep divide between the old guard of the GOP establishment and the new rising economic nationalist wing of the party that Vance quite clearly represents.
