Well, to the extent that Murdoch has anything to do with big undertakings of his papers, this one puts him squarely in the Obama camp.
Latest Wall Street Journal/NBC poll shows that those surveyed are pleased with what their new president is doing, beating ex President Bush by a long, long shot.
Recall (you of short, Net memories) that said Murdoch has been besieged of late with calls for him to fire his editor in chief at the New York Post, as well as the cartoonist there who did a cartoon seeming to equate Obama with a chimp shot to death by police.
Critics have said that Murdoch is in something of a quandary, having affection for the editor, Col Allan, and wanting to show a progressive side by cozying up to Obama.
(Read previous BrooklynRon posts, notably this one.)
In a twist of irony, I watched a news report this week where Murdoch was honored for his humanitarian efforts worldwide, as well as his professional excellence.
I fell out my chair.
