"CNN is pretty consistently on the left" Rupert Murdoch says

[Swede]

Then he mumbles conspiratorially, "And if you look at our general news, do we put on things which favor the right rather than the left? I don't know." Has Murdoch just said what I think he said? Has he flirted with an admission that Fox News skews right? If so, he quickly backs away. "We don't think we do. We've always insisted we don't. I don't think we do. Aw, it's subjective. Neither side admits it."

9. From his vantage point?

As far right as Crappy News Network is I don't think they are close enough for Murdoch to see them.

[Double T]

10. From where murdoch stands, I'm sure that is true.

How does murdoch have so damn much control over pushing the message of the RW neocon rethug agenda?

12. Here's another quote that I found.

"The greatest thing to come out of this, the war in Iraq, for the world economy, if you could put it that way, would be $20 a barrel for oil. That's bigger than any tax cut in any country."

Would someone inform Murdoch that the price of oil is now $70 a barrel?
