Judith Regan has little credibility and is looking for cash for trash.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
This is a non-story.
REVIEW & OUTLOOK (Editorial): John V. Giuliani"My political party put together with the liberal party can produce the kind of change New York City saw with Fiorella LaGuardia and with John Lindsay."
Wall Street Journal. (Eastern edition). New York, N.Y.: Aug 1, 1989. pg. 1The signs multiply that Rudolph Giuliani's campaign for Mayor of New York is faltering. ...
...Local pundits are complaining that the GOP "doesn't want to win," and the Giuliani campaign has just signed up Roger Ailes, who earlier quit the Lauder campaign on the grounds that it was nothing more than a stop-Giuliani effort. This raises the issue of whether elements of the national Republican Party will come through with backdoor aid for the Giuliani campaign on the grounds that he might be an electable candidate. The question is, what kind of Republican is Mr. Giuliani, if any?
GOP voters in Brooklyn and Queens no doubt remember the last Republican mayor of New York, John V. Lindsay. Elected as a Republican in 1965, Mr. Lindsay was defeated as an incumbent in the Republican primary in 1969. He went on to win re-election on the Liberal line, continuing the expansion of welfare bureaucracy, cave-ins to public-employee unions, ruinous tax increases and raids on the capital budget that propelled the city toward its brush with bankruptcy in 1975. Voters with such memories will have no trouble recognizing John V. Giuliani.
Mr. Giuliani wants the Republican nomination to add to the Liberal Party line with which he's already been endowed, so that he can call himself a "fusion" candidate.
-- Rudy Giuliani, Boston Herald, Oct 21, 1993Mr. Rockefeller represented "a tradition in the Republican Party I've worked hard to re-kindle - the Rockefeller, Javits, Lefkowitz tradition."
-- Rudy Giuliani, New York Times, July 9, 1992

The Giuliani pukes are stuck on stupid-----using the 1989 mayoral playbook. NYC is not the USA, dummies.
Giuliani is nothing more than a used-up wad of discarded gum stuck to your shoe you can't scrape off.
“This is totally weird. Murdoch is supporting Hillary.”
By helping get an unelectable Republican nominated? Hmm... That’s actually a pretty clever strategy.
“But she wouldn’t be bringing these charges if she didn’t have the recordings she mentions.”
I agree... And she’s out for blood here. I’m not sure she’d even accept a settlement, if she thinks she can tear a pound of flesh out of NewsCorp. If she does have audio recordings, does the FEC get an opening to go after the company? I’m really not sure how media rules / election rules work together. Most papers will endorse a candidate, but this is different.
Ailes is a Rudy guy,
Murdoch is for Hillary.
Murdoch is also a businessman above everything, so having a N.Y. race would probably thrill him as a media mogul.
FOX has lost all credibility by denying their sympatheties here.
Unfortunately for them, news moves fast on the net----the entire world knew about it in a nansecond.
Judith Regan was a big earner for the Murdock empire and they trashed her totally. Make sense?
Bad PR over Regan pushing the OJ book.
They’ve got to trash Regan because she’s got stuff that could hurt them, and she wouldn’t sit down and shut up when told. Murdock needs to maintain a facade of impartiality in regard to politics. Oh yeah, he’s for Hillary, and I’ve got beachfront property in Eastern Montana.
So, 24/7 Regan is a trashy, pushy bitch...you hate her...you are getting sleepy...
Theoretically they trashed her because the OJ book went over the top, and then crashed and burned.
But as you say, Judith Regan was a big money maker. In her business, nice guys finish last, and she was used to finishing first.
And I never heard that Murdoch worried too much about going over the top or getting too much publicity. I think both he and Regan understood that there’s no such thing as bad publicity.
So, as you say, why did he fire her? Now maybe we’ll find out. Regan meant big money, but hillary’s enmity could mean even bigger money—down the drain.
Exactly right.
