Murdoch Predicst Obama Landslide (http://finance.yahoo.com/tech-ticker/article/20951/Barack-Obama%E2%80%99s-Unlikely-Supporter-Rupert-'Fox-News'-Murdoch?tickers=nws,msft,yhoo,nyt)

Murdoch’s not-quite-but-almost endorsement of Barack Obama for president.

The founder -- and defender -- of Fox News said he expected Obama to win in a landslide, citing widespread unhappiness with the current administration and his disenchantment with Republican contender John McCain. Murdoch added that after a long career in the Senate, McCain had been forced to compromise too much and doesn’t stand for much. Murdoch even nonchalantly owned up to influencing the New York Post to back Obama in the New York primary.


He is one smart man.

Sounds like a fair and balanced view.

More fair than 1/20/09's quoted viewpoint.

Is at creative writing, or a lie, to say "Murdoch’s not-quite-but-almost endorsement of Barack Obama for president?"

I see no endorcement in stating an opinion of future events. I see the bending of words to the will of the journalist.

Anyone?

God, I hate that type of lie. We see headlines all the time making a statement that the article tied to the headline doesn't even support.

1/20/09.... Are you a professional journalist?
