Watchdog critic frets about Fox's 'leftward' slant
RAW STORY
Friday October 20, 2006
A watchdog critic known for attacking the media for percieved liberal bias is concerned about a possible "leftward" slant in the reporting of Fox News, RAW STORY has learned.
Accuracy in Media editor Cliff Kincaid plans to attend the annual stockholders' meeting of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation today in New York City to seek answers to a list of 27 questions posted at AIM's website. Eight of the questions touch upon Murdoch's relationship with the Clintons and how that may have affected Fox News coverage.
"The New York Times reported that your son James is 'steadfastly liberal' and that he 'has supported Bill Clinton and Al Gore whose daughter he befriended at Harvard,'" Kincaid inquires of Murdoch. "How liberal is James Murdoch and what plans does he have for taking the company in a more leftward direction?"
Kincaid notes that "News Corporation hired the Glover Park Group, a public relations firm run by friends of Bill and Hillary Clinton, to block changes in the TV ratings system," and asks, "Was this part of News Corporation's move to the left?"
