Murdoch is CEO...
Murdoch is the chairman (higher up on the chain of command).
Roger Ailes is the CEO.
But the COO (3rd in line) is a democratic fund raiser.
Alot of folks at newscorp and its subsiderary donate to the dems.
Ailes just happens to run a tight ship trying to keep those biases out.
Keep in mind that of Murdochs kids, only one is a conservative, and he is on the outs with dear old dad (lachan).
