Fox news only appears right wing when compared with left wing organizations like CNN, Reuters, the AP. Taken by itself, Fox is an impartial news source.

this is pretty simple... Murdock is a BUSINESS MAN... he does BUSINESS and focuses on things that MAKE MONEY...
since there was no blatantly conservative tv news network out there, being a business man and seeing that there was obviously a market (look at Rush's radio ratings), he took advantage of the situation and made one, thus pretty much monopolizing the conservative tv news source... and what do monopolies do? MAKE MONEY... TONS OF MONEY...
if you looked at his bank account... you would say "oh, that's why he did it"...
oh, and I don't think that there is anything wrong with providing something that there is a market for by the way... but just because you own a taco bell in a town that doesn't have a mexican place... it doesn't mean you like tacos...

Because its all a show to make the American people think they have a say in government. You don't think the truely wealthy elite that run this country want someone like Obama who would be a voice for the people getting on the ballot.

Because he knows she can't win.
She doesn't have enough of a base on the democratic side because of her support for the Iraq war and the torture of detainees (it's a no brainer for her too).
She doesn't have enough support on the republican side because of her bid for universal health care a few years back, and because she's been vilified for so many years.
Also, she has tons of early momentum, which usually spells death for a campaign. (i.e. Howard Dean).
Murdock knows she can't win. And if she does (which I doubt), he knows she'll remember how much money he spent on her.

Assuming your statement for the truth, which I really don't know, Hillary is definately no Nancy Pelosi.
Maybe he likes her style??
But FNC is still a right wing news outlet...at least their opinionists are.

The only thing I can think of is that it will be great for his business if she runs for the presidency.

Hillary is actually very far to the right, especially for a Democrat.

Maybe he has a crush. Definitely, he is misguided.
