I was watching FOX News this morning.

They had just introduced Bob Gallagher, a talk radio host who is moderate to conservative and were discussing with him the issue of other major conservative talk show hosts like Limbaugh and Hannity etc. having an issue with McCain.

Alisyn Camorata had just asked Gallegher WHY these conservative talk show hosts had such an issue with McCain as it wasn't clear to her what the issues were.

BEFORE the response was aired, a LONG SERIES OF COMMERCIALS appeared, terminating that part of the show. When the commercials were over, Steve Doocey was talking to Gallagher about McCain on another subject.

It seems pretty clear to me that, for whatever reason, J. Ruppert Murdock, who I believe owns FOX news, wants McCain nominated and probably elected. I have lost my earlier infatuation with FOX News. It may not be so blatantly biased as CNN and MSNBC, but it is by no means as fair and balanced as it purports to be.

I will be watching Mr. McCain very closely. My feelings for him and some of the people who support him go beyond mere dislike and if I don't like the way his debates with the Democrat candidate are going, I will probably not vote for him.

I think he is unstable emotionally, and totally unreliable in addition to being vindicative and duplicitous. I think Republicans who think they can rely on this guy to behave in any kind of anticipated pattern on anything are deluding themselves. People like Romney who are coming out in support of this individual are, I believe, being good team players - something RINOS never can be - and showing they will support the party choice. This is good form and strengthens them in future election contests. With political careers at stake, they can't afford to be as painfully blunt about McCain as Ann Coulter, whose career path lies in another direction. But I don’t doubt for one instance that they view his chances as slim and the prospects for the Republican Party as a whole dismal should he be elected.

George Bush did a lot of irreparable harm to the Republican party by his ineptitude on a number of subjects and has discredited conservatism with the general public. Having a successor who amplifies his errors will not do us, and America, any good in the long run.

Rupert Murdock's bio makes no mention of membership in the CFR, but I suspect that he is a member. Meanwhile, this little excerpt:

Murdoch's publications worldwide tend to adopt conservative views. During the buildup to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, all 175 Murdoch-owned newspapers worldwide editorialized in favor of the war.[18] Murdoch also served on the board of directors of the libertarian Cato Institute. News Corp-owned Fox News is often criticized for a strong conservative and anti-liberal bias.

On May 8, 2006, the Financial Times[2] reported that Murdoch would be hosting a fundraiser for Senator Hillary Clinton's (D-New York) Senate reelection campaign. Murdoch's New York Post newspaper opposed Clinton's Senate run in 2000.

Murdock is working both sides of the political "street".

And this from "news with views":

Today, the “internationally minded business and legal elite” include David Rockefeller, Stanley Fischer, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Henry Kissinger, Alan Greenspan, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, George Soros, Paul Wolfowitz, and Rupert Murdoch. The Council on Foreign Relations is not an ordinary private organization; the Council on Foreign Relations is an elite cabal. In fact, the CFR is an organization where the enemies of America and its “controlled opposition” get down and dirty at the Harold Pratt House.

Notice who he rubs elbows with.
