Supposedly, Rupert Murdoch has been calling the shots at Fox for years. Liberals hate him.

Murdock is part of the vast right wing conspiracy, although on his tabloids in Britain, he like his women to have a full rack.

FOX? Or Fox News Channel (FNC)? There's a difference.

If Murdoch has owned Fox all this time, and it is #1 the way it is, why would he change it just because he is buying the all of the shares?

Besides, of all of the news channels, I think Fox was the most responsible regarding the tsunami donations. Murdoch donated $1 million and then agreed to match any donation given by a Fox employee--therefore, addressing his employees instead of trying to guilt his viewers into giving more of their money. It hit the right note with me!!

I also think Roger Ailes is actually responsible for the way the news is presented.

This is good, I was fearing a takeover of FOX by VIACOM. We all know what FOX News would turn into than.

Murdoch already had control of Fox et al, even if the he didn't own the whole thing. As I recall, there are limits to what he could previously own outright.

Murdoch, like William Randolph Hearst, is a capitalist. He's in this to make money. I doubt that he has anything in common with the leftists that seem to have taken over the other stagnant MSM outlets. He most assuredly is not gonna stop doing what has taken him to this point.

Murdoch likes anything that will make him money. He also owned the Village Voice for awhile. TV for republicans was simply an underserved market that Rupert filled. I think his politics are mainly the politics of commerce.

good, for some reason drudge had the headline in red, I had no idea what he stood for or that he was the head of fox.. as long as he is part of the Vast Right Wing conspiracy he is okay with me.

"Murdock isn't a socialist!"

Murdock is worse than a socialist - he's a leftist.

since when is it "socialism" for an individual to buy shares of his own corporation?

a socialist is an individual who wants society to control corporations but doesn't own any stock.

Really?

Somehow I don't think so.

Why did Barbara Boxer say that he "scared the hell out of her"

The man started Foxnews. He is not a leftist.
