The sudden leftward shift might have something to do with the DOJ investigating Murdock. What a shame to see Fox News self destruct like this. The Left must be tickled pinko.

Fox News was moving left before all of the DOJ stuff. They were pushing celebrity sleaze as "news" for a long time, which is why I stopped watching them.

Plus the man who helped create Fox News and who has been running it for the last 16 years, Roger Ailes, is a huge supporter of Rudy Giuliani, plus he was the head of CNBC at one point.

And look at the rest of Murdoch's little empire - 20th Century Fox runs movies like Avatar and plenty of other liberal crap. The broadcast Fox TV network pushes a lot of celebrity/reality sleaze. Murdoch's holdings outside of the US push plenty of liberal crap.

Bringing in a bunch of leftists like Jackson is going to open up additional advertising revenue for Fox News. They'll be able to bring back advertisers they may have lost in the past, or that scaled back their advertising, and they'll be able to bring in new advertising.
