Coincidence? I think not!!!
Aside from Fox, Murdoch's News Corp owns TV Guide, HarperCollins, 20th Century Fox, the London Times, and the New York Post. Murdoch also bankrolls William Kristol's neocon mouthpiece the Weekly Standard, which has been losing money ever since it started up in the mid-1990s.
I guess my point is that Murdoch is as worried as anyone about what our little GTE is capable of and is willing to use the Post to do damage or cause as much trouble as he can to insure that we don't get in his knickers.
