Mr. Murdoch has flattered Communist Party leaders and done business with their children. His Fox News network helped China’s leading state broadcaster develop a news Web site. He joined hands with the Communist Youth League, a power base in the ruling party, in a risky television venture, his China managers and advisers say.
Mr. Murdoch’s third wife, Wendi, is a mainland Chinese who once worked for his Hong Kong-based satellite broadcaster, Star TV. Her role in managing investments and honing elite Communist connections in China has underscored uncertainties within the Murdoch family about how the family-controlled News Corporation will be run after Mr. Murdoch, 76, retires or dies.
It is high time that we brought back the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) to investigate Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox News, for his associations with nations and individuals that promote Communism.
It has long been speculated that Fox News is actually a Communist plot to destroy America from the inside by instilling fear & hatred towards one's fellow neighbor in the hearts and minds of the American citizen.
I would bet that a majority of Fox News' regular viewers have a negative feeling about China. The words China and Communism go hand-in-hand and Communism is, of course, a "bad" word on Fox News. I would also wager a bet that a regular Fox News viewer would be surprised to learn that Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Fox News, has his fingers in the Chinese pie, the Communist Party of China Central Committee.
In meeting with Murdoch, Liu Yunshan, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, and also head of the Public Department of the CPC Central Committee, thanked Murdoch for his "active efforts and strenuous work in advancing cooperation with China's news media.
Murdoch has been named Director of China NetCom, and that Murdoch's Star will set up a wholly foreign-invested advertising company in China. Indian Television reports that Murdoch is teaming up with China Central Television.
The next time you see an anchor or "contributor" on Fox News emphasizing the threat China poses to Taiwan, to the US economy, or to gas reserves, remember that Rupert Murdoch is, nevertheless, more than happy to take China's money to his bank. And while Bill O'Reilly, Hannity, and other Fox employees preach about morals and values, democracy, freedom, and the right to vote, remember that their boss has no problem doing business with a country that isn't doing very well in some of those areas. Also, be afraid. Be very, very afraid. Before long, Rupert Murdoch's form of "news" will reach everyone on the planet.
