It is time for Mr.Murdoch to take off the gloves and put on brass knuckles. It is time to get off the mattresses and take it to the streets.
Mr.Murdoch - UNLEASH THE TRUTH OF OBAMA NOW!
Any newsman worth his ink really couldn’t expect better timing than now.
It’s unlikely Fox News will go off the air. The most that would happen is that Murdoch would be forced to get rid of Fox News by merging it with NPR, Al Gore’s “Current”, the Oprah Network or perhaps sell it to Soros or a Michael Moore.
Please calm down. Mr. Murdoch is not a warrior for conservatism. He’s a smart and ruthless businessman who’s on to a good thing. Money and power are what motivate him.
Now that Murdoch has proven that money’s to be made from the tea party segment of viewers, that segment will continue to be served its daily ration of outrage and talking points, regardless of what happens to Murdoch.
This is assuming two things:
1. Murdoch has any dirt on Obama to begin with. I’d imagine he’d have already come out with it by now if he did.
2. This is, in fact, the best time to leak it. Which is false. It isn’t that bad *yet*. Until Murdoch’s staring down a Congressional panel, anything he may have capable of bringing down a presidency is best kept to himself. The time to bust out one’s “secret weapon” isn’t when the fight starts, its when one of you is already on the ropes—either as a killing blow or a last-ditch effort to save one’s own skin.
