It may be that Murdoch is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I’m sad to say he could have used the conservative movement in the USA to make money not for the benefit of the Republic. Why?
According to wiki Murdoch actually financially supported the labor party ticket in Australia (1964) before he moved to the USA. Its platform to me looks more socialistic and not even a moderate one at that:
“After McEwen and Menzies retired, Murdoch threw his growing power behind the Australian Labor Party under the leadership of Gough Whitlam and duly saw it elected[42] on a social platform that included universal free health care, free education for all Australians to tertiary level, recognition of the People’s Republic of China, and public ownership of Australia’s oil, gas and mineral resources. Rupert Murdoch’s backing of Whitlam turned out to be brief. Murdoch had already started his short-lived National Star[41] newspaper in America, and was seeking to strengthen his political contacts there.[43]”
So perhaps Murdoch is really showing his true colors.
I like the comment in #3! I’m going to try praying for that man and his family!
