Lots of people have become disillusioned with Fox, not necessarily as a destructive force in society but in a way that has alienated many of its former viewers with its less than fair coverage of the news particularly regarding the Republican presidential nominees.

Jobs was a leftist, he never stopped being a leftist.

Jobs had the Hollywood syndrome.

Just because you are outstanding in one certain area — acting, creating really cool computers, etc. — doesn’t mean you are an expert on all things cultural and political.

IOW, nobody freaking cares what you think. Just go do your thing and leave all of us alone.

Apple co-founder says Jobs railed against the conservative news channel and tried to convince Murdoch to shut it down.

Yeah. Because FOX News, by far the ratings leader in cable news, should be listening to a Commie Pinko computer salesman for programing advice. What a typical Leftist tactic to force an opposing view shut down for decorum's sake.

In her book “Shut up and Sing” Laura reminds us that success in one field does NOT make you an authority in all....

Sorry, but aside from being lucky enough to lead one of two major companies leading the world in the advent of the computer age, seems to me Jobs was an idiot.

This is hilarious, Jobs for all of his brilliance, failed to see that Fox News is not conservative. They push as much sleaze and filth as the other networks and they are shilling even hard for the RINOs.

Why was this not news IF he said it before. This is what I hate about the press. They bring up stuff after a person is dead. If it was so horrible at the time then why not report it then and make him explain himself or say “yep that is what I said”.....either way it is stupid to bring it up now.

I liked one of the comments below the article “Frankly, I have no reason to trust Steve Jobs’ views on objectivity and news any more than I trust his views on effective cancer treatment.”

Touche. Besides being a creative genius Steve Jobs could be quite wrong on certain things. That leads me to think that a creative genius is not always very smart.

He cheated his friend who wrote the code he could not write. He co opted GUI from Xerox and then whined when a few lines of code was found in MS apps. And he thought the danger to America was conservatism. Do you think this will deter the worshipers of Jobs? Not a chance.

The more I hear about him, the less I like him. And I never liked him much. A leftist, a bully, a thief. Not a genius. Just another slick salesman. Sayonara, SJ. We’re better off without you. (’Course, I’d say that of any leftist.)

Jobs was a magical thinking new age commie. It ultimately killed him which is only just. If only Marxism would target it’s suppoters rather than the rest of us.

Jobs got Murdoch to hear him out on Fox News, which he believed was destructive, harmful to the nation,

It all depends what your vision regarding what kind of nation is being built.
I agree that the nation that Jobs and other lefties are trying to build is harmed by Fox.
Even though I believe Fox is trending to the left more than before. I guess it is part of wanting to present both sides of the story. The truth and the socialist's lies.

>>> alienated many of its former viewers with its less than fair coverage of the news particularly regarding the Republican presidential nominees.

ie - 1) Fox isn’t pimping their candidate for them.
2) Fox isn’t sufficiently attacking the candidates they want attacked.

It’s this kind of thinking (by Jobs) that has infected California. As long as the world lines up to buy their stuff (technology and entertainment), CA will continue to prosper; no matter how many of us leave.

CA will also be a magnate for money because of typography and weather.

Looking at the way FNC is moving left, it appears Murdoch took Jobs’ advice. FNC is becoming less distinguishable from MSM every day.
