Isn't this special.
Australian Immigrant Rupert Murdoch owns Times of London, the British publication that first published about Obama's 'Auntie Zeituni'.
Rupert Murdoch owns Fox News, that "fair and balanced as long as it's talking about extreme right-wing politics" network.
Rupert Murdoch owns the The New York Post, a publication that has been scathing about Barack Obama. Interesting enough, NYP runs right-wing "blogger" Michelle Malkin's nationally syndicated column. She happens to be a fixture of FoxNews as well. It also gives plenty of ink to writers from National Review Online and Town Hall. The New York Post, by the way, lost it's seat in Obama's press corps just yesterday along with Washington Times and the Dallas Morning News.
Rupert Murdoch owns The Wall Street Journal, which has had Karl Rove writing almost daily about the elections as a contributor. Here's a sample :

Rove is also a frequent commentator on FoxNews.
Rupert Murdoch's track record as a Republican-loving mogul is astounding. He has supported the campaigns of people like Rick Santorum, Vito Fossella, Ted Stevens and George Allen. It hasn't escaped me he was an avid cheerleader of Hillary Clinton and a top contributor to Chuck Schumer.
John Ellis called the 2000 election for George Bush on FoxNews. George Ellis is a cousin of George Bush. Rupert Murdoch is one of George Bush's and the GOPs biggest campaign contributors and is consistenly pinned as the man who stole the elections for George Bush.
Under the Bush Administration, deregulation of media ownership was fast-tracked in order to allow Rupert Murdoch to own more TV, radio and newspapers in the same media market; as well as allow fast expansion and consolidation of media companies and kill competition and diversity.
