A writer for right-wing group Accuracy in Media frets that Rupert Murdoch "may be moving left" as he notes that Tony Blair, Bill Clinton, Al Gore and rock star Bono were the featured stars at a recent
conference sponsored by the News Corp. founder. The event, says Cliff Kincaid, "confirms our suspicion that Murdoch may be moving left as the 2008 U.S. presidential election approaches, and that he
may bring his "conservative" news properties with him." While there were Republicans like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sen. John McCain in attendance, Kincaid says they are not "identifiable"
conservatives. He does concede that former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was also there. And in the end, he gives the Australian-born media mogul his support anyway: "Whatever his ultimate political
preferences, Murdoch is doing something right, and we are in far better shape with a Fox News Channel than without it."
