Maybe. I don't think he'd go left, but he may tighten up a pretty loose ship.
Fox has no competitors in its segment. CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS are all going after the left.
I can't watch FNC because of the cheesy Alerts that happen for no good reason, the fixation on a single, or maybe two topics all freaking day, etc. Thank God they hire anchors that are hot, or it would be completely unwatchable.
I started giving to JimRob because truly, this is the only place for concise news anywhere.
I'm pulling for FNC, and I'm glad they are selling to righties, but they need some help over there.

Pretty much Fox will float until they get competition, then they'll head for the open waters. If only one of the cable news networks head right Fox will either grab for that station's old territory (MSNBC is actually pretty neutral) or head extremely right. If they both head right though that'll leave the left wide open so he'd run there. I don't think Murdoch actually likes competing in the quality arena, he likes to position himself in unchallenged markets and take them over. He's a truly brutal business man.
