If the Democrats were to get back in power they would try to use some law like reenacting the so called Fairness Doctrine to control Fox. Murdock is just seeing to it that Hillary owes him big time.
Big corporations with any savy try to buy politicians on both sides of the isle. That way they are not in too bad a shape no matter who wins.
Those that think Murdock is ideological are just not thinking straight. Murdock did fox the way he did because it was a way to achieve financial success. Had he done a CNN clone he would still be trying to make Fox profitable.
Murdock will always do what he thinks is best for his companies.
Look at what Clear Channel is doing. They are the distributors of Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck among others. So what did they do, they have been taking a station in nearly every market and putting Air America on it. It does not matter that everyone of the Air America stations are losing money. When the Democrats come to power, they will know that it was clear channel that put Air America on in all the big markets. It is not Clear Channels fault that Air America does not draw an audience.
Clear Channel knows that if the Democrats get in power they will pick on some other big chain owner that is not promoting Air America.
It is called covering your rump for anythink that can happen.
