Murdoch is hardly what you would call a solid conservative. He's been close to the Clintons, having supported HRC in her Senate races and getting in with the Clinton Global Initiative (whatever that is). FOX News presents more people and comments from the left than it generally did a few years ago.
Bottom line: Murdoch keeps a sharp eye on Obama's FCC, which he knows can hurt him badly if he gets too far out of line with the Administration.
he's not squared away on gun rights ~ and Huguenots played no part in the development of political thought in Australia anyway so that part of his mind is just a blank.
Cable isn’t regulated by the FCC.
Thanks for the ping!
