  • Also ask yourself whether MSNBC have an agenda. If you answered no, rethink. If you said yes, how is that different than Fox News (or for that matter the NYTimes) trying to influence public opinion...But Charlie Rose knows this, he was just playing to his audience.

  • I believe when he says "we tried" he is referring to the editorial aspect of his media "empire." Most media outlets have an editorial page that is separate from its hard "news" page. The New York Times in its editorial page takes positions on major issues every day (almost exclusively left-of-center positions). Surely through this they're helping to "shape an agenda."

  • FOX IS GOP PROPAGANDA  !

  • @kn9ioutom

    GOP and DEMS are the same...

    Just thought i'd let you know.

  • Rupert Murdoch admits he tried to shape public opinion on the Iraq War or was he just being honest?

    If a man of Mr. Murdock's reputation speaks honestly, that's the capture of a live oxymoron such as:

    Randolph Hearst was honest or blatant?

    The Voice of America is the 5th Gospel honest of journalism?

    The BBC & China News are identical?

    Good Laws allow for Oxymorons to not be a dying species -oddly, that is a good thing.

  • 10 years of deceiving the public about September 11

  • "The Father of Lies"

  • ooooo but it's ok that george soros and ted turner work their magic on shaping public opinion for you liberal nuts.... wtfe

  • @closer37 Im not a fan of murdoch at all and thing he's a bad influence in the power he possesses but I agree with the point you're making regarding soros and turner.Theres too much bias whether its on the left or the right!There needs to be objective truely neutral reporting although thats very unlikely to ever happen!

  • What pisses me off more than anything is the media silence on this. Not one person, even people who were against the war, mention these things that murdoch openly talks about.

  • Did you all capture that? "September 4, 1985, Rupert Murdoch became a naturalized citizen in order to satisfy the legal requirement that only US citizens were permitted to own American television stations."

    Anyone from just about "ANY" country can become a naturalized citizen and buy up just about any business or industry they so desired! Even more scary, is Just about any "RICH BANKER" can buy off just about "ANY" U.S. Politician through Lobbying! America's Sovereignty is being sold out!

  • "opinion journalism masquerading as news." It's about time people started to wake TFU! Saw this coming well over 2 yrs ago..Pisses me off that shit like this can still happen, even while this country is in dire need wiping out fraud and corruption within our Government.

    Murdoch, Beck, O'Reilly, Hannity and all the rest of the Fox News Network should be sued for slander, and indicted for Treasonous acts against this country! a hundred years ago, they would have been!

  • @Acecool444 Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. owns Fox News, about 50 other Fox channels, The Wall St.. Journal, the NY Post, and the London Times.

    He's currently beginning NewsCore: a project that will make his skewed news more quickly accessible throughout the world.

    Conservative Clear Channel Communications is the largest owner of AM, FM, short-wave radio, as well as 12 channels on XM radio. All of their stations use FoxNews for their news coverage.

    Liberal media? Who's manipulating who?

  • @MrFairNBalanced1 Yes, I know, but Thank You for bringing it up.

    ""Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. owns Fox News, about 50 other Fox channels, The Wall St.. Journal, the NY Post, and the London Times.""

    And to think, Rupert Murdoch is an Australian, in control of America's upper top News Media. However, on September 4, 1985, Rupert Murdoch became a naturalized citizen in order to satisfy the legal requirement that only US citizens were permitted to own American television stations.

  • @Acecool444 You make good points, Ace.

  • @MrFairNBalanced1 Your not alone in this, And Thank You! But it's obvious to many, America is being destroyed by the lies, fraud and corruption through media propaganda and those behind it. The more people realize this, the sooner these media stations will lose popularity.

  • satan

  • Thanks for sharing this video. Have been following the WEF for some years and videos have not been available until most recently. Their is a WEF channel out here posting - of course not all of them - panel discussions. These are worth to watch to understand, what we are up to. "Is there any agenda that you want to shape"? "we tried"? Thanks to the Lord that you failed, Mr. Murdoch, "making your difference". You are not going to change this world by your means.

    Power to the People! Lisa

  • Poor questions should have asked How Murdoch took over Tony Blairs campaigh and run him into the prime ministers chair 13 years ago, Another question in Italy Murdoch tried to buy all media to challenge President Basconi, who owns the major media , Murdoch is not truthfull How he manipultes the media, like FOX news Network, Glen Beck, O`Reilly,Ohannity,soon to be Sarah Palin, they all represent Murdoch Murdoch`s puppets, Aussie Jew worth a lot of money, just sold some of fox to Prince-Saud

  • Leave Iraq alone. They gave the rest of the world "The Wheel".

  • @SPS148669

    no the wheel is indian

  • A guy who tolerates Fox News promoting political activism manipulated the news noooooo you don't say.

  • Have you seen OUTFOXED

  • are you asking me?

  • There you have it! The founder of Fox News admits to "shaping" how he wants news to come out instead of being "Fair and Unbiased". His words not ours.

  • Comment removed

  • Murdoch uses all his media outlets.. not just Fox News. For example, X-Files which aired on Fox from 1993 to 2002 just happened to coincide with Democrats heading the white house (Clinton era). From Wikipedia "The X-Files tapped into public mistrust of governments and large institutions, and embraced conspiracy theories and spirituality, " I'd say that was Murdoch pushing his agenda.

  • ooooooooor you've watched too much X-files and I just had toooo much sugar

  • Yeah because he's a mutt-thief Jew! Fucking dog, He Better leave the internet alone or he's gonna get it!! Shalom Motherfucker!! Gross Jew.

  • I see we have the next Hitler here.

  • What makes you think Murdoch wants to murder a certain group of humans?

  • Murdoch is a jew who is carrying the agenda of israel not US

  • Comment removed

  • go screw a goat you intolerant bastard.

  • When death finds this man, I wonder if his last thoughts will be of money.

  • don't worry, when death finds him he'll have a lot more to worry about than money lol ;)

  • What, precisely, do you mean by that? :-D

  • I'll leave that up to you to guess :D

  • Rupert Murdoch is God. He will not die. He will be re-born as Absumammethiut the multi-tongued, plaguer of children and bringer of termites.

  • lmao

  • lol

  • Murdoch said "opinion" not news. Which is perfectly fine. Thats why you have commentators and yes they state their opinions, but do not report actual news.

  • Journalism is meant to be completely impartial and present the news from neither side. Or if they show one side, they have to show the other to make if fair and balanced.

    99 percent of news channels do not do this - they selectively choose what to show and what to report, or present it in a way which alters the truth, if they have an agenda.

    Sky and Fox news are the worst. I watch Fox news for comedy value lol but many Americans take it for fact :/

    Watch George Galloway destroying sky news :)

  • who was the man asking the questions to murdoch?

  • That's Charlie Rose you've peobably seen him on public TV, he likes to shmooze with this dirtbags

  • legendary australian fascist dictator.

  • this old bastard is a very dangerous man,"yes we supported the bush administration and the war" he says,then when things go tits up he sways to the anti bush side,cunt.

  • I love Murdoch! He should buy out all of the liberal media and replace with a neoconservative media!

  • That would be foolish. Promote endless war (and endless blowbacks) which would mean bankruptcy faster than ever.

  • 1.)That would be foolish. Promote endless war (and endless blowbacks)

    2.)which would mean bankruptcy faster than ever.

    If part one could be divorced from part two we would have the perfect solution to a variety of problems. First of all liberal internationalism would be replaced with the paradigm of US interventionism thereby freeing our national sovereignty, and secondly

    the implications of such policies on the domestic sphere would be good for other objectives I have in politics.

  • Ron Paul supporter?

    Well, don't get your hopes up high, since a lot of the right (and the left) have similar worldviews (both are infact based on same ideals, only more minor details differ), such as the new world order...whatever that really means, but they sure talk a lot about it.

    Look up things like "Full spectrum dominance" or PNAC...

  • "Ron Paul supporter?"

    No

    "Look up things like "Full spectrum dominance" or PNAC..."

    I am well aware of both of those things. The Project for the New American Century appears to be the only workable alternative to the UN and liberal internationalism. It seems that internationalism is inevitable, which is bad because it also seems to be contrary to national sovereignty. Well PNAC found a way for us to have our cake and eat it too. Cheers to Bill Kristol for thinking that one up.

  • "workable alternative to the UN and liberal internationalism."

    You're nuts. Its already backfired with the economy going downhill and countries abandoning the US dollar. US dominance..get real, CIA predicts US will lose its sole world power status within 20 years.

  • I've also been studying political movements similar to that of the neoconservatives throughout the 20th century, and I've learned that they enable a variety of things (these can range from social to foreign to economic policy) that I would like to see happen that are not possible under normal political settings.

    Not that people like Murdoch would necessarily care about these issues. However they would enable some of these goals for purely political reasons.

  • try and say hes not gay if you can see how me uses his wrists and ankles. also the area above his eyebrows. 100% gay

  • As Rupert knows all too well,

    John McCain's real running mate is

    George Bush, not the trojan moose!

  • So why does Fox even bother with the "fair and balance" bullshit? I mean if the owner of the company admits they are biased then why go on with the blatant intellectual dishonesty?

  • Are you on crack?

  • He has to be on something worse lol

  • He's right. What do you guys listen to? msnbc? liberal. Cnn? Liberal. Any other damn network? liberal. Fox news is probably about 60/40.. when you retarded "change" freaks are getting spoon fed by the liberal media. 1,000 coalition trips have died in afghanistan and 4,200 in iraq.. I bet your cnn or msnbc says we have 10 troops left and we're getting raped hahahahaha. Also seeing as most democrats are young uninformed kids lmao. Oh and believe it or not.. but republicans want peace too! oh no!

  • "but republicans want peace too! oh no! "

    No. Americans generally roll over whenever the gov presents a threat to them. Go gid 'em! Go gid 'em!

    The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media. ~ William Colby, former CIA director

    Read up on Operation Mockingbird. ..aaah. Taste the freedom.

    "You could get a journalist cheaper than a good call girl, for a couple hundred dollars a month."

  • "{Read up on Operation Mockingbird. ..aaah."

    I know wasn't it wonderful? The CIA has been great for destabilizing communist states throughout the world. You just have to love how efficiently they did it as well. Just think without the CIA many many more states would be communist and the success of the free market wouldn't be anywhere near what it is now.

  • They would've collapsed on their own.

    And there are no free markets. Every nation interferes with the economy.

  • "And there are no free markets. Every nation interferes with the economy."

    Well then just call it American mercantile hegemony. or whatever. In any case it's a good thing.

  • It used to work for all Americans for 150 years. Every year everyone got richer. Not so since the 70's..middle-class and especially the poor remain at stagnant wages or having even less then people had in the seventies. So to reach that A. dream people borrow, and they are hugely in debt.

    The rest goes to the top. Lobbyists own politicians and they stormed right on during these last 8 years with Bush, who btw, borrored more money than all previous presidents put togheter. Its not sustainable.

  • The world needs a rich Arab / muslim/ non-jewish philantropist to start a major news channel in the USA. Somebody who doesn't mind being the world's hero.

  • Gawd, how I love watching the liberals pitch a fit whenever Mr. Murdoch's name is mentioned!

  • Yeah, julikell, ethical people "pitch a fit" whenever billionaire propagandist try to get "support a war", especially when it ends up with the DEATH of THOUSANDS of people on ALL sides. And you "love watching" that? That kind of hubris and boastfulness (an abomination metnioned in the bible several times) is as sick, sad, unfair and imbalanced and unashamed as Fox so-called "news"

  • Well ... you've just proven my point.

    Thank you, and have a great day!

  • julikell, and Dallas also prove the point That YOUR "hubris and boastfulness is as sick, sad, unfair and imbalanced and unashamed as Fox so-called "news" " You even admit he prove the point - Shameless, Just like Bill O'Reilly, who sexually harassed Andrea Mackris and then swore he would "fight her to the end" until the next day when he found out she had TAPE of the hypocrites perverted phone calls. That's the kind of guy Murdoch and YOU defend.

  • someone needs to kill this man. i think i hate him more than bill oreilly. i think i hate him more than hannity colmes. fox news could be burned to the ground tomorrow and i wouldnt piss on the fire to put it out.

  • An outright admission of bias..........I agree.

    However, lets be fair. Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, Peter Jennings, and Connie Chung were biased from the left for many years. There were others also. Bernard Goldberg pretty deftly described his time and the bias he witnessed at CBS.

    What we need are a few billionaires who really want to start "just the facts and non-partisan analysis" networks who actually mean it. They need to look at four sides to any issue at least....

  • Its as much the fault of the of the "liberal media " for rolling over and playing dead the past few decades. Let us see,

    Integrity=Journalism=Business=­No Integrity,

    Maybe we got it wrong from the begining and media was always about ideology and not unbiased reporting.

  • Well, this is hardly surprising is it.

  • Its a disgrace to know that people like this work in the media but this ol guy rules a huge chunk of the world media, that just sick .

  • Fox channel=the proof or your fucking non-democracy. The worst dictatorship ever. One question for these dump journalists: how do you feel for thousands innocent victims in Iraq. How you feel for the disaster you caused against one of the oldest civilizations in Iraq? YOU CREATED ALL THESE AND YOU LL FACE THE FURIOUS REVENGE VERY SOON!!!!! Unfortunately. but thats the rule of history during centuries

  • Anyone who doesn't think that Israel Mossad MSM was involved with 9-11 is naïve, at best. Who else could have successfully planted thermate & made Larry Silverstein like $5+ Billion? LS is still suing American Airlines for their "failure." Isn't the support of Israel, a country that fails to support the USA, uses American made cluster bombs on innocent civilians and puts us at odds with most of the World & all of the Oil-rich countries, a bad idea? Fugly parasites = Rupert Murdoch AIPAC & Israel

  • david icke

  • Fox news anchors are all on crack

  • communism

  • THESE PEOPLE NEED STRUNG UP...

  • IS YOUTUBE BECOMING LIKE FOX NEWS?

  • WHY DOES YOUTUBE KEEP CENSORING ME?

  • SHAMEFUL

  • he calls the war in iraq an "enterprise". obviously expressing his view (and those with the power) the complete disregard for people losing their lives for a false war.

    he is evil incarnate!

  • the Republicans view war purely as a business. all deaths and wounds are just collateral damage.

  • Sean Hannity, Brit Hume, Bill O'Reilly, E.D. Hill, Brian Kilmeade, Steve Doocey, etc., ad nasuem, all Fox "news" employees kissed Murdoch's and Roger Ailes ass while beating the warm drums for years while thousands of innocent people died on all sides. Shame on them for being the media whores and sock puppets. Bill O'Reilly stated that the Iraq war was going to be a "cake walk" even as Baghdad, a city the size of Los Angeles, was randomly carpet-bombed from one end of the horizon to the next.

  • The most dangerous man in the world.

  • But not more undignified than spelling the word wrong.

  • Hereunder lie the undigified consequences of envy.

  • Rupert Murdoch = piece of shit to the extreme

  • pretty easy to imagine his cowardly malformed reaction to being romper stomped.

  • he has his bottom of his shoe pointing at his fucking Jewish Zionist face, way to go

  • What a cock sucking whore

  • rupert murdoch- media anti christ!

  • He is a prick but remember he does not speak for Jews only zionists ...he is a child of the rothschilds...

  • He needs hanging. He is worst than any militant extremeists.

  • Go to hell FOX

    Zionist dominated monopolized media is advertizing war, Prostitution, biased news and crime.

  • This isn't about jews, gentiles or muslims, it's about power and the abuse of power by those who get it.

    The point is how do we limit power.

    One way is to not allow one a-hole to own half of the world's media.

    Blame the utterly corrupted FCC.

  • Hitler was right about the Jews, and we stopped him. :(

  • that is sick

  • rupert murdoch is a jew...and just like all jews in any country in this world are more loyal to israel then to their motherland... call me an antisemite or else read their holy books..or else read their history... they now rule the world with american army as their proxy... blacks and whites and sand niggers are all dying for their cause... we are all their slaves..

  • are you fucknig kidding me? Yes, you are an anti-semite. Quite the jew bashing douche.

  • I hate Australia! This guy is no exception.

  • **I hate Australia! This guy is no exception**

    well you have the freedom to leave!

  • Check out the Rupert Murdoch connection:

  • this guy is the bigges zionist son of a bitch

    fucking dickhead

    hes near the end thankfully

    how old is he

    hes gat his son though

  • @siavash89

    Let,s take him to civil court. Nazionalistic propaganda against american multinational society interests, ignation nationalistic hatred, disinformation

    ect.

  • @siavash89 This language shows no vocabulary right SMUCK, He is not a Zionist, HE IS AN AUSSIE JEW, GET the smuckhead!

  • god damn it...makes me wish someone from the audience stood up and threw their water glass and hit in the fuckin face

  • Why do folks just sit there and chuckle it up?

  • watching television is like taking black spray paint to your third eye

  • they all "shape public opinion" that's the objective...i had never watched news. even when i was a teenager because i always got the inherent sense it was all biased...and i was fucking right..and proven right. check out the movie outfoxed and you'll get the whole agenda of mr. murdoch...and then burn your tv.

  • Fox News sickens me but I must say that the tactics employeed by the liberals at npr were very similar to FOX news and npr has been doing this since Nina Totenberg covered the Clarence Thomas hearings. The distiguishing of Editorials and news coverage needs to be more clear on both sides.

  • Boycot all Dupert owned and Wally Mart owned everything. They are sell outs to Chinese interests and wish to make a mockery of American democracy. Fox does not own the Reagan legacy. Reagan was a man of integrity and would puke on Dupert's methods and Wally Mart selling out American ma pa shops for plastic poisen sh-t from China. Reagan was a man of his times. Dupert relie on deciet over principle. His web of lies is so thick I doubt he even knows who he is anymore - he is no Reagan.

  • "We (FOX) supported the Bush policy in the Middle East policy but were very critical of it's execution"

    Policy is defined by it's execution.

    You listen to that guy long enough and your head might explode.

  • Now even without conspiracy crap,think about it: this guy owns alot of news outlets. And if you add conspiracy crap.. oh boy

  • He said "We've been very critical of it's execution" meaning the execution of the war...B.S. Fox News and it's t.v. personalities have done nothing but praise the way in which the war has been conducted...big fat liars!!

  • Maybe O'reily and Hannity get big fat bonuses for plowing over voices of dissent. Keeping Dr Paul out of the Fox debate last night is a good example. Zionist Murdock from another country influencing American policy. Wake up..

  • what's this "Zionist" crap, you think Rupert Murdoch cares about that?

    it's OIL and MONEY and CONTROL

    Murdoch probably detests ANY religion as a method (he's probably very aware of) to control the ignorant masses to do things they otherwise wouldn't.

  • Zionism is not a Religion it is an ideology.

  • you got me there, i gave you a thumbs up =)

  • "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State." Joseph Goebbels

  • Pinocchio

  • Personally, I don't tune into Fox Broadcasting, for I believe in freedom and my American Heritage. Keeping presidential candidates out of an important debate, forum is discrimination, stripping Americans from their civil rights of equality, allowing a legitimate election.

  • Republicans say we should support the president and shut up. Funny, I didnt hear that when Clinton was president.

  • I would have no problem with Fox if they did not disguise editorial commentary as "news". Sadly, I think Fox "News" proves that Americans are as dumb as people have been saying we are for decades.

  • How can you expect anything from these people who call themselves intelectuals, I mean LOOK at this guys SHOES, is he coming from hike? I really mean it how can you wear shoes like that on a 3 piece suit and expose yourself this way on such inteligent public, UNEXCEPTABLE, i just critisized the dresscode thats all:)))

  • ur stupid, did u listen to what they said or were u too busy lookin at his kicks, probably the biggest problem of the american people..

  • no. like you said, you dont know me so calm down and realize that you were paying more attention to what the people were wearing rrather than what they were saying. no need to try to act tough online.. its pretty sad

  • iarra iarra iarra, i know murdoch inside out, and i know exactly what his agendas are, but its pretty sad when someone shows up on such an influental and important forum, as i sayd again you are the one who insulted me first so bit it guy!!!!!!

  • ur still avoiding the point but whatever ur wasting my time.. im not replying to u or ur messages anymore leave me alone.

  • thats what your long tongue will do to you, next time think before you write something bozo

  • There is not one person that doesn't know that the Federal Government is corrupt, that they are in bed with special interest groups specially the international bankers. These corrupt officials are always trying to align us with their war on crime, war on drugs, war on illegal aliens and war on terrorist.

    From this day forward let it be known that we the people have declared WAR ON COURPTION, our battle cry is RON PAUL.

  • wow i am so sick of this fucking ron paul spam. supply siders can suck my balls

  • hes got himself a slick goebells like propaganda machine...nasty old man

  • How do you like that $4.2 Million Money Bomb, Rupert? You want to support Israel so much, go serve in their military. Quit trying to involve us in your Holy War.

  • Excellent question, Charlie.

  • FOX News is now claiming that Al Qaeda is responsible for the California Wildfires. Can you believe this? I am not making this up.

    thinkprogress . org/2007/10/24/fox-news-al-qae­da-is-causing-the-ca-wildires/

  • 70% of fox viewers believing saddam = 9/11 is NOT an accident.

  • You can tell Murdoch is sweating out this line of questioning and is extremely uncomfortable because he is caught red-handed. I have so much respect for Charlie Rose for grilling him like this, because we finally got it from the horse's mouth. He did attempt to downplay his role significantly, though.

  • I love how Murdoch says he "can't change elections". That is such bullshit. He is doing every single thing in his power to keep Ron Paul off his networks or simply totally smear him because Paul has publicly stated that he would let Israel defend herself without involving the United States. Murdoch doesn't like that very much. He is Scumbag Numero Uno and I honestly feel one of the most dangerous men in America.

  • All this because Rupert Murdoch is Jewish and is fulfilling his own special interests in wanting to protect Israel. Believe me, I have nothing against Jewish people, but when you have extremely powerful people like Murdoch who shapes the Agenda and people's mindsets for his own special needs, this is EXTREMELY dangerous. He's putting his wishes before the American public's wishes. This is more dangerous than people realize, given Murdoch's Global Media Dominance.

  • Now, there are as many Blackwater mercanaries as US troops in Iraq. No wonder the cost of the war skyrocketed. Now "Fair and Balanced" Fox news that Rupert Murdoch owns is beating the drum of raiding Iran. I don't know how cooperative his news media and Bush administation are.

  • What a Fucking Scumbag. Not that we all are surprised, but I'm just surprised he actually admitted it, unless he was just caught off guard. And this is so incredibly dangerous given the percentage of Media he controls.

  • OOooo he got busted..

  • This guy is a scumbag!!! He should be in JAIL!!!!

  • The true democracy will be born when People revoque the almost unlimited power that the political elites unscrupulously appropriate with the help of the media monopolists such as MURDOCH.

  • hehe.. the master tells himself - oh my god. the end is near dudes...

  • The CIA can change elections and often does.

    Bush and his "gang" changed an election result

    just ask Al Gore, the almost, former president.

  • i wonder how the world would be right now if Al Gore had... been president

  • I don't get the outrage on this topic. Every media outlet - whether left wing, right wing, anarchist or anti-christ - offers its OPINION on topics, and is fully free to do so. It is our job, as human beings (and not sheep) to take a critical look at this information and come to our own conclusions.

  • I agree, jjjfisher123, but when you have "Focus Groups" the likes of Frank Luntz conducts at the most recent GOP Debate, which clearly shows many of these viewers are not in tune with media biases and aren't even aware they are being manipulated, then this is dangerous. In theory, you are correct. But if human beings don't even realize the manipulation, especially when you have a War Mongering POV that actually endangers us as a nation, then this is very, very dangerous.

  • It's a very serious problem because Rupert Murdoch has power news outlet (Fox news for example), and he can influence news and shape commentators opinions which other major owners of news media couldn't. Because his support of Bush administration, we don't know the reality of Iraq war. In addition, because he owns multinational companies, he can evade taxation with ease.

  • Kurdistan-Iraq remained under 1992 constitution and Iraqs new constitution clause #137 has retained Kurdistans 1992 status all along.sadam was not denounced or deposed by Iraqi Parliamen under clause #58.

    He remained President of Iraq by virtue of retaining presidency of Kurdestan-Iraq, isn't it?

  • wow. what is to become of the media? Scary.

  • ha, considering 4 of the 5 major networks are liberal-left leaning i think it's important that you have a different angle on events.

    Especially in a country where television rules the hearts and minds of your people.

  • 4 out of 5, huh?

    I think if you say that there has been an extreme rightward shift, and that there is virtually no real liberal voice out there, so centrist is what you would call liberal... yes, in that case, there are left wing networks.

    You should check out one of the investigative journalism reports on the media and politics. You might be surprised what you find. Fox really is a worrisome influence on public discourse.

  • The details come as the News Corp chairman's influence on political life is under renewed scrutiny after his $5bn (£2.4bn) bid for Dow Jones, publisher of the Wall Street Journal.

  • Three -- on March 11, 13 and 19 of 2003 -- came at critical points in the build-up to war, as Mr Blair faced a threatened French veto, cabinet divisions and a pivotal speech to parliament.

    The conflict began on March 20.

    Another conversation took place on January 29, 2004, the day after Lord Hutton's report into the death of David Kelly, the weapons scientist, cleared Mr Blair of improper conduct but led to the resignation of Gavin Davies, chairman of the BBC.

    Tony Blair took three telephone calls from Rupert Murdoch in 10 days before the Iraq war, it emerged Wednesday after the unexpected release of details of the former prime minister's contacts with the owner of The Sun and The Times.
