San Francisco, are you ready for a Murdoch? yes, THAT Murdoch. As in Rupert Murdoch.
Two independent sources, deep in the bowels of the Fox News headquarters in midtown Manhattan, have told me that the global media sultan that created the likes of Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, and gobbled up the Wall Street Journal, has his eyes set on the City by the Bay.
Murdoch has his brand all over the globe, including offices in NY, London, Sydney, LA; you name it, there's a place, but SF? Nope. According to the sources, News Corporation, (the parent company of Murdoch's empire) wants to set up shop in the Bay Area. Maybe its proximity to Silicon Valley? The fact that Murdoch has always regarded the Pacific rim as a vital conduit to his media fortress doesn't surprise me that he's looking at SF, but when?
"Don't know yet,", said the source, but "they view this as a natural step in broadening their presence and SF and the West coast fit that business model."
I can see it now: "Hi, I'm 'Glenn Beck and tonight, we're live from Coit Tower. Attention, tea-baggers, it's time to rock the 415!"
Stay tuned.

It'd do you people some good to get your heads out of the lefty cloud once in a while and breathe real air.
ReplyDeleteThe "lefty" crowd? Hell, I've been on Michael Savage' show twice. I'm neither a "lefty" or "righty", just a simple toad trying to earn a buck, if that's ok...but I really do appreciate you reading my stuff. Seriously, I do. And I like dissent. Thanks for the response.
