There's no question Fox News is killing its competition in the ratings. And the reason is quite simple according to Rupert Murdoch, the CEO of News Corp. (NASDAQ: NWSA), the parent company of Fox News.

Murdoch to MSM: Thanks for making me even more money. Please keep it up and don’t change.

if you merge all the liberal cable into one, i bet they’ll rate higher than fox

When it comes to the truth, it may as well be 1910, as the lies, spin, omissions and distortions of the MSM make it impossible to know what’s really going on.
