Reply #19: Shareholders questioning Murdoch today

[RamboLiberal]

QUESTIONER: Apparently 300 advertisers are refusing to advertise on Mr. Beck's program--

MURDOCH: That's not true.

QUESTIONER: Well, 297 then, apparently.

MURDOCH: No. No, no. Maybe four or five who have been moved over to Mr. O'Reilly's program. No one has taken any money off the channel.

QUESTIONER: There's been reports today that Mr. Ailes is a bit concerned about Mr. Beck, um--

MURDOCH: Is what?

QUESTIONER: Mr. Ailes is a bit concerned about Glenn Beck and him promoting his personal interests too much on the show, damaging Fox News, been saying it's too partisan. This can play out in potential--

MURDOCH: I don't know whether you watch Fox News, but Mr. Beck is the least of our stars who take liberties in promoting their interests.
