Billionnaire Rupert Murdoch is a self-described conservative whose News Corporation owns Fox News, MySpace, The Wall Street Journal, 20th Century Fox, HarperCollins and is reportedly negotiating deals with Digg.com and LinkedIn.com.
My question is: is there a liberal equivalent to Murdoch's News Corporation? Specific details would be appreciated.

In this day and age of a conservative-biased media, I don't believe there is a liberal equivalent to Murdoch. The concept of the Fourth Estate serving as a guardian to the people and watchdog of government malfeasance is obsolete. Today, the media is all part of big business and even bigger government. And - the corporate and governmental worlds collide to benefit their own largess instead of serving any benefit to the general public.

self described part is right. but i would only categorize him a bull-headed man whose only purpose is to enhance his fortunes. he must have realized that he needed more control of the media to ehance is other untold fortune in a multitude in investments. same as them all. power corrupts and abolute power corrupts absolutely.
add the rothchilds and the rest to your hate list. they see you as microbes to be manipulated and fed to provide workers and customers for them.
they are gods in their own strange way. and their are millions of wannabes struggling to gain some power.
