Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg had a long day of grilling executives at their All Things Digital Conference. But they saved Rupert Murdoch -- their Wall Street Journal overlord -- for last. The highlight? 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.

During the Q&A, I pressed Murdoch -- a new U.S. citizen -- on whether he would actually vote for Obama in November. He said he was leaning toward it, but would know in the next six months. When I asked if I could call him, he said yes, then joked I could probably just figure it out from reading the Post.

murdoch FTW!

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

LOL...I'm sure. Murdoch, like all media moguls is a businessman first. He's seeing the high donations made by voters to both Hillary and Obama as well as the record turnout, volumes of newly registered Democrats and he's thinking about his future.

Residents of 21 states, including New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, go to the polls Tuesday in what amounts to a national primary election.

For Republicans, the choice is clear:

Sen. John McCain of Arizona.

...

We urge Republicans nationwide to vote McCain on Tuesday.

New York Post - Feb 1, 2008

Democrats in 22 states across America go to the polls next Tuesday to pick between two presidential prospects: Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

We urge them to choose Obama.

...

He should be their choice on Tuesday.

New York Post - Jan 31, 2008

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

So, we'll be seeing Sean Hannity on CNN. He's been saying that the other news stations are in the tank for Sen. Obama. What is he going to say now? :unsure: I'm sure those other stations are laughing their arses off because he's been talking loud and often about that... :lol: I actually like Sean Hannity, but the problem is that I believe he carries his radio personality on TV and it doesn't work for me. It makes him seem self righteous, obnoxious, and boastful IMO.

Rupert Murdoch has done a huge disservice to news, turning it from being a valuable resource to a money making cess pool.

Refusing to use the spellchick!

I have put you on ignore. No really, I have, but you are still ruining my enjoyment of this site. .

And who did the Post endorse?

POST ENDORSES BARACK OBAMA

And Earlier....

Two contests, two endorsements. It's not that difficult to grasp. Is the grief really that bad?

Indeed. Where's the controversy.

If nothing else its "Fair and balancedTM"

This endorsement also makes me wonder exactly how liberal Barack really is. Murdoch is not known for associating with, or endorsing left wing politicians.
