MURDOCH TO HOST FUNDRAISER FOR HILLARY CLINTON Mon May 08 2006 18:25:16 ET
Rupert Murdoch has agreed to host a political fundraiser for Hillary Clinton this summer!
Murdoch's surprise decision to raise money for Clinton in July, on behalf of NEWS CORP., parent company of FOXNEWS and the NEW YORK POST, underlines a dramatic turn of relations between Murdoch and Clinton, who in 1998 coined the phrase “vast rightwing conspiracy” to denounce critics of her husband.
Some say the move by Murdoch reflects approval of her Senate career. Others note his record for picking future national leaders. Last century, he threw over the British conservatism he'd long supported to back longshot Tony Blair.
Clinton surprised Washington and media watchers recently by attending a FOX NEWS anniversary party, where she toasted Murdoch.
Political powerbroker and studio head Harvey Weinstein is said to have convinced Hillary that Murdoch could be a friend, not a foe, in her ongoing political maneuvers.
Hillary has now cornered the NY media market, by winning support from the NEW YORK TIMES, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS owner Mort Zuckerman -- and now Murdoch and the NY POST.
Developing...
Murdoch announces his backing for Hillary
The onset of senescence is a scary thing to observe.
The Bitch is rising
No surprise here, a Klinton Presidency will sell one hell of a lot of newspapers...
That's true, I suppose I had higher hopes. With all the lieberal media + Fox News now on her side as well the next elections look horrible for us.
hehe
Exactly. This sentence from the article is flawed:
“Last century, he threw over the British conservatism he'd long supported to back longshot Tony Blair.”
Ha! He junked the Conservatives precisely because Blair was far from a longshot. Murdoch does not like backing losers. At this stage I’d merely say he’s hedging his bets.
As I don't watch TV at all, does Fox News literally paper over her foibles? Or is this an assumption based on Murdoch's endorsement?
Say it ain't so, JOE
The headline on this thread is not the headline on drudge and is a bit misleading.
Well, Fox News was a great thing while it lasted.
That's true - let me try to edit it.
Fox News has been going down hill for a while. You only need to watch Fox and Friends in the morning to know that. They have idiotic things on there. Nothing of substance.
In their quest to be fair and balanced, they have turned off their conservative base. A little bit like the Republican party!
All part of the "elite", who live in their own little world. With us as slaves (their view).
Please do not alter titles. The title you created has been changed to the original published title.
Come on, Murdoch is a smart cookie. He is hedging his bet, so that he wins either way. He knows Hilllary Clinton is going nowhere, so why not get her a few bucks, and when she gets her head handed to her, he can say, well, I did my best, but screw you, you screeching loser!
Yep and Murdoch's conspiring with Hillary Clinton to transform the country into a Marxist utopia will be the final nail in the Fox coffin.
will now start kissing her ass as well.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
I'd say I hoped he had synthetic lips but sounds like he deserves the cancer, hoof & mouth disease, and demonic possession he's likely to accrue from such an idiotic act.
