Rupert Murdoch Leaves Liberal News Media Outfoxed

Kaye Grogan

News media mogul Rupert Murdoch has made a wise decision to back President Bush’s re-election. Democrats Senator Zell Miller of Georgia and former New York City Mayor Ed Koch, have also come out in support of the president and are joining forces with the Bush camp. President Bush has shown he has what it takes to stay the course in Iraq. No one likes war, but there will be wars and rumors of war, until the world ends, and nobody has the power to stop the inevitable.

Mr. Murdoch’s Fox News channel has given the American people a reprieve from biased,liberal news channels: CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, by introducing the "fair and balanced" approach. He struck oil when he realized the majority of the American people were sick of the one-sided "in your face" attitude of the aforementioned news entities. And they wonder why their ratings have toppled? Still and yet, they keep right on trying to "brainwash" what few viewers they have left.

Poor Bob Novak of CNN’s Capital Gang, looks like the lone ranger on most of the shows, when Kate O’Beirne the only other regular conservative is not present. But all in all, Mr. Novak can hold his own with the most staunch liberal. CNN has always tried to stack the deck, but this practice has gotten old. Capital Gang is the only show I watch on CNN. But Mark Shields (the show’s poor choice of a host), Margaret Carlson, and Allen Hunt, all liberals, are beginning to persuade me to stop watching.

Now Bill O’ Reilly of the O’Reilly Factor, is another story altogether. He pulls no punches and cans the spin from obnoxious guests, when it comes to setting the record straight. Murdoch hit a gold mine when he hired him. People either love or hate O’Reilly, while he takes it all in stride. He sure is looking out for all of us. . . by exposing the corruption whether it be the government or life in general. His show is not the top rated in the business for nothing.

The liberals are launching talk radio shows hoping they will continue to get their liberal views across much better than the likes of Republican conservatives Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity etc. But the liberal radio shows will have many people begging for "Only the Shadow Knows" back on the air, to replace their perpetual rhetoric.

I agree with Mr. Murdoch, 9/11 forever changed the course of America. We must continue to seek out the terrorists who wish to harm the citizens of our country. One can’t help but wonder what happened to the terrorists and their whereabouts, who were lucky enough to receive full pardons from prison, for their horrendous crimes of terrorism, by President Bill Clinton before he left office. What kind of message did this perhaps send to other criminals? How about. . . sometimes it does pay off to commit crimes? Sure did in this particular case.
