<p>Rupert Murdoch has agreed to host a political fundraiser for Hillary Clinton this summer, the FINANCIAL TIMES is reporting! </p>

<p>Murdoch’s surprise decision to raise money for Clinton in July, on behalf of NEWS CORP., parent company of FOXNEWS and the NEW YORK POST, underlines a dramatic turn of relations between Murdoch and Clinton, who in 1998 coined the phrase “vast rightwing conspiracy” to denounce critics of her husband. </p>

<p>Some say the move by Murdoch reflects approval of her Senate career, notes FT’s Caroline Daniel. Others point to Murdoch’s record for picking future national leaders. Last century, he threw over the British conservatism he’d long supported to back longshot Tony Blair. </p>

<p>Clinton surprised Washington and media watchers recently by attending a FOX NEWS anniversary party, where she toasted Murdoch. </p>

<p>Political powerbroker and studio head Harvey Weinstein is said to have convinced Hillary that Murdoch could be a friend, not a foe, in her ongoing political maneuvers. </p>

<p>Hillary has now cornered the NY media market, by winning support from the NEW YORK TIMES, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS owner Mort Zuckerman – and now Murdoch and the NY POST.</p>

<p>Lord, have mercy.</p>

<p>Maybe Murdoch wants Hillary to eventually be the dem pres candidate because he thinks that she CAN’T win… (just a thought!)</p>

<p>Or, it’s a way to distract those who get so upset by the mere existance of FoxNews…</p>

<p>On whom? Hillary? Or Murdoch?</p>

5

<p>I think they are a match made in Heaven</p>

<p>No wonder–it’s not like Hillary has actually done anything or really taken any positions since she has been elected. She’s much like most other Dems I might add. She’s a cipher. I keep on waiting for her to taker a leadership role; to get out in front on some issues.</p>

<p>More money for my alma mater! (Worcester College, Oxford). Murdoch, Sainsbury, and Bill Bradley - we keep it in the Republocrat family! ;)</p>

8

<p>On us, O-dad, on us.</p>

<p>Maybe Murdoch is heeding the words of News Corps’ COO who was a huge Kerry supporter.</p>

10

<p>Birds of a feather…</p>

11

<p>“On whom? Hillary? Or Murdoch?”</p>

<p>No, on … US and the U.S.</p>

12

<p>Hillary has shown in the past that she is for sale–just expensive.</p>

13

<p>Murdoch has shown in the past that he is not particular about the politics of what he buys (The Village Voice), as long as it makes money for him. The O’Reilly and etc. folks are just his well-paid shils.</p>

14

<p>Murdoch senses which way the wind is blowing. Which is a kinda transposition of what Mini said.</p>

<p>or he had the advance copy of latest NYT poll</p>
