How'd you like Sean Hannity as editor of the New York Times op-ed page? Maybe O'Reilly and Cavuto in place of Dowd and Krugman as Times columnists? It might not be as far-fetched as it sounds. At least, not if Michael Wolff is right. The Vanity Fair media maven, appearing on CNBC this afternoon, said that Rupert Murdoch not only wants the Gray Lady, but would get her. [H/t Gat.]

MICHAEL WOLFF: I think that everybody is looking at [the NYT] and waiting for it to kind of go over a brink, to run out of cash, which they're in the process of doing. Or to find itself in a situation where actually, and this is really the key thing, they go looking for a buyer.

If Rupert were smart, he’d recognize that any success that Fox has, has been due to it’s primarily conservative views. (well, relatively speaking, of course).
I think it’s important for someone to at least TRY to turn OFF some of the blatent liberalism in ANY of the major papers! It’s the first step in trying to regain some sane communications with those-who-believe-everything-they-read. Most people don’t get their news from the internet.
