1. lol he nails murdoch with his thought process!

[angstlessk]

2. hell, he supported Hillary until she fell out of favor..NOW its Obama..

that man is an opportunist...no way around that fact!

[Craig101010]

3. This makes me skeptical about Obama

A friend of Murdoch is no friend of mine.

Murdoch is scum and is a serious threat to democracy itself.

I wonder what pro-big business pro-media conglomerate policies Obama has planned now...

[ihavenobias]

4. Obviously you're being sarcastic OR you're trolling based on your post total

And I'm betting you didn't even watch the clip.

[Craig101010]

5. No not trolling, not sarcastic, no i didn't watch the clip

Sorry for being too hasty

Ok I watched it, my bet is he's being an opportunist but I still don't trust him, his "fair and balanced" news network is the same one that has accused him of being a muslim, who's anchor (liz trotta) has suggested that Osama and Obama both be "taken out"

And now I'm supposed to believe he's just taken in by Obama's message? Yea right....

I don't know I guess I'm just too cynical and conspiracy-prone

6. No one trusts Murdoch

That is why it is funny that he is indorsing Obama. He is friends with McCain and backed Hillary against Obama, doing everything he could to hurt him. There was a program on faux news even today that was very anti-Obama. But Murdoch tries to play the left enough where we can't say for sure he is a propaganderist. Look at the shows on the fox channel that send out a more liberal view. He uses these entertainment shows to say, "Hey look, if I was really this right wing conservative, would I allow these shows to be aired." Of course, we all know that fox channel is business($), and faux news is political. We understand this, whether he wants us to or not and we don't trust him ever.

11. Sooooo... I guess the fact that he didn't say he was friends

And was just saying who he though was going to WIN and why doesn't matter? I guess it also doesn't matter that his support and/or endorsement was not only not sought by Obama, it wasn't GIVEN either doesn't matter?

The fact is Murdoch held a fund raiser for Hillary when she was the front runner (makes you KNOW Murdoch doesn't think ANY Republican can win the White House this year) in an attempt to have influence with her.... and she made the faustian deal, just the first of her many missteps. Now I'd agree with your point IF Obama suddenly attended fund raisers with the devil himself, but that's not going to happen.

17. Ah, it sounds to me like he hasn't met him at all ...

Murdoch says he's intrigued by OBAMA and "would like to meet him" ... that means he does NOT know Obama and hasn't met him at all ... I doubt Obama will take any meeting with that predator ...

[eagertolearn]

19. Didn't you him him say that he would like to meet Obama?

He hasn't met him yet and Obama doesn't need Murdoch...he's got all of us!

[Phred42]

7. Bullshit. After Hillary kissed his ring and made her Faustian deal?

Don't bet on it.

The bastard is Darth Vader's evil twin - why would you believe anything he tells you?

8. His aim is very simple. To get the new President, of whatever stripe,

eating out of his hand. British prime minsiters, without exception, are terrified of his influence via the press, most notably, the "tits and bums" daily called The Sun, and come running whenever he calls them. Even if it's at the other end of the world. He doesn't go them. They go to him.

[ExPatLeftist]

9. This guy is a master of geometry -

playing the angles. There is no way he states his actual opinion in an interview. He picks what is best for his wallet or other future grifts.

He's scheming. Possibly because he knows everyone (at least Democrats) hates him and could impact the race in a reverse manner. It is definitely most in FUX's best interest to keep Hillary going as long as they can. I dunno, just an idea, I can't second guess evil that foul. All I know is, if he says something, it is not simply because it is what he really thinks. Nothing that comes out of his mouth or his news organizations is the simple truth - it is all done to serve some purpose. This is one of the slimiest people walking the Earth.

10. Maybe this means that Faux news will be the mouthpiece for any administration.

They want to be in control, they don't care about politics or this country, just making money.

[bulloney]

13. That sounds logical on paper, except that Murdoch's media were smearing Clinton 24/7.

[ihavenobias]

14. I'm sure that got them good ratings with their viewers n/t

[Ferd Berfle]

12. Exactly PERFECT! lol She made her FAUSTIAN Deal with Murdock......

and now he's turned on her!?

I've seen this Opera - it's doesn't end well

15. Bump!

[OhioChick]

16. Kick

18. I thought he was HRC's pal...

[goletian]
