You're right -- I've visited Australia and thought that country American-like in many ways. Also, I lived in the UK a few years and became familiar with Murdoch-owned media there. He's not all bad. The Times is okay, Sky News is okay (not Fox, that's for sure). And Murdoch at least loves newspapering, and funnels money into it (maybe alone in that regard these days).

Now he's saying he's interested in Obama as a candidate, and forecasting a Democratic victory.

I suppose we'll all just have to stand and wait and see what happens to the WSJ -- and what's next up Murdoch's sleeve.
