Rupert Murdock is a meglomanical bastard and the Devil Incarnate. I have no doubt in his mind, he "owns" the American voting public and can tell Obama what to do. I usually spank Obama every time he whines, but I suspect there's much going on behind the scenes we know nothing about.
Remember, Murdock is Satan. That has to make Obama uncomfy. Rupert is a walking One World Conspiracy Theory Come To Life And Nearly Completed. He makes me wonder if the christians might not be on to something with all that Apocolypse stuff.
It's convenient for both of them. It plays to Obama's base and keeps the target audience for FOX and its sister companies stirred up. Nothing new here, folks. /shrug
I could go on, but you get my drift. Rupert thinks we all live in Rupert's world. If he gets his way we'll all be reading how the Dems died off from Big Foot's antrax. This man is no Howard Hughes...and Hughes was crazier than a shithouse rat.
