Rupert Murdoch acted as peacemaker between Barack Obama and Fox News | Media | guardian.co.uk →
“Just before the New York Democratic primary, when I found myself undecided between Clinton and Obama, I said to Murdoch (a little flirtation, like a little gossip, softens him), ‘Rupert, I don’t know who to vote for - so I’m going to give you my vote. You choose’,” he wrote.
“He paused, considered, nodded his head slowly: ‘Obama - he’ll sell more papers.’”
