Isn’t Murdoch a big liberal, and isn’t Fox News about like all the others? I never watch any of them.
It appears that all billionaires are liberals and Murdoch is no exception. From what I read (I don't watch any TV) Fox News is somewhat more objective than the other networks but certainly is no conservative TV network.
But here on FR, Fox News is considered the Light. Why so much time is devoted to watching such programming continues to be a mystery to me. FReeping and reading are much better uses of my time.
The libs probably have no problem with shows like Simpsons and Family Guy on the Fox _Broadcast_ Network. But... hey, by watching those shows you’re supporting the same guy that owns Fox News, are you, liberals?
Seth MacFarlane of Family Guy, who has become rich due to
that show (and Cleveland and American Dad) airing on Fox,
was once asked what he thought about Rupert Murdoch being a conservative and yet airing his programming. MacFarlane
said that Murdoch has no problem—they’re successful shows
and make Rupert’s corporation lots of money (and Seth too
of course): “Rupert’s a businessman first and a
Republican second.”
Some on the Left would probably shudder to think that these shows air on that far-right-wing Fox network, but they do,
and MacFarlane gets to spew his lefty views there. But
the money tree is thriving (I know, the Left hates
capitalism, but there you go.)
