Did Rupert Murdock sell FoxNews to NewsCorp whose President is Peter Chermin. Peter Chermin is a huge Kerry Supporter. Does this explain this recent shift to the Left by Fox.

Several people have emailed me this privately. Is this is so it is huge news for conservatives and we can stop wondering about Brit, Fred and the gang and their deserting us and the truth in the clutch moments of the campaign.

I don't know, but Murdock was looking for some govt. approval related to a dish network he owns. I don't know if he got it or it is still running through the approval process.

Well if Fox thinks it will find an audience without its conservative base...well..I don't think so--the liberals hate Fox News..they will just fade away now...what really pisses me off is that I have told so many friends, families, even liberals to check out Brit Hume to get the "real" story...guess now I have to eat crow!

Well, if it is so, I can save my self $50 a month and dump my cable TV, no more need for it. Brit and Fred have been disappointing very lately.

If you think Brit Hume is biased or would turn his ethics on a dime, you are a complete idiot.

If he did, Peter Chermin just bought a HUGE lemon. As it slides left it will crash.

And conservatives will move to the next network that presents news properly.

Could there be such a huge sale under FCC auspices and there be no public exposure?

Relax. It is BASH-FOX MONTH. After the election, it will be BASH-BUSH time; just like it was in 2001.

The name News Corp. is the Murdock company that owns FOX News, Fox TV, Twentieth Century Fox Studios, etc.

What you're reading about is just bringing the Murdock properties under a single umbrella in the US. Murdock is presently home-based in Australia. And Chernin has been with FOX for a long time. Try to calm down. Failing that...do some research.

I agree this is curious thing. I criticize FoxNews like my brother. I haven't EVER heard Brit Hume say anything disingenuous though. Things can change quickly, but so can this poster's status. I guess we could be CNN'ed again. But then so could FoxNews.
