I used to really hate on Murdoch.
Then one day I saw a Simpsons episode, where they were totally pulling a lampoon on Fox News, and I thought to myself..."Hmm, that's pretty fucking genius, actually. On one hand, you have your ultra-conservative outlet for Christian news. On the other hand, you have snarky programming like the Simpsons, Family Guy, etc. And while you'd like to think that they're separate entities, they're owned by the same parent company, and they are expertly using both syndicates to boost one another's ratings and keep each in front of the other's audiences. Man, that's purely genius."
There was a time when I considered Doc the devil, pushing his own religious and political agenda. After this moment of clarity, I realized that dibec is right—Murdoch is simply a money-mongering strategist. Although part of me still feels strongly that he has a "666" tattoo on his body somewhere.
