You have no idea what you're talking about.

Probably.

Murdock is a Republican and a businessman.

He made a smart move positioning Fox to the right of the others. It means he gets half the audience right off the bat while the others divide their half a dozen ways.

He has never claimed to be a conservative

Maybe, but he's got to be more conservative than the guys running MSNBC and the rest. Still, as I say, he did claim to be a Hillary supporter. That may have been for business reasons, to offset the claims that Fox is blindly conservative, but it may have been sincere too.

but he gave Roger Ailes complete carte blanche to run FOX News the way he wanted

Thank God for that. I am appreciative of that.

and he exerts NO influence at the network. Ailes wouldn't stand for it.

I find that hard to believe. "No" influence would be hard to prove.

Enough with the conspiracy crap

All I said was, I notice there are certain subjects that seem to be soft-pedaled...

and be grateful Murdock believed FOX was a good business move.

And I am. But back to your original point, no, I don't know anything more than what I piece together reading what I see in the press. Its an impression. I appreciate Fox because I can remember the decades when there was no Fox.
