Going to the middle works every time for a conservative, right?

Murdoch is thinking with a long discredited paradigm in mind ~ that there's a sort of left/right continuum in American politics, with a BIG MIDDLE GROUND.

Actually there is no such thing. It's a bimodal saddle with two nodes ~ we call one the Republican party and the other the Democrat party.

Politicians who go for the middle, for the independents, for the moderates ~ LOSE!

After all, there's nothing out there but a thin fringe with few votes. Nothing wrong with being a member of that fringe ~ sometimes they are ahead of the big coalition parties, but it also means you don't usually win any elections.

Murdoch obviously mispent his yout' in foreign schools
