Strange Bedfellows-Rupert Murdoch & Hillary Clinton

What's" in a Murdoch-Clinton Alliance? Something for Both Sides - New York Times

For those who are unfamiliar, Rupert Murdoch is a conservative media mogul and owns, among other media outlets, the New York Post and the Fox News channel. Heretofore, both of these media outlets have basically been mouthpieces for the Bush administration.

Murdoch is now supporting Hillary Clinton with a fundraiser to build her campaign coffers; something that's entirely out of character for both of them.

It just goes to show that politics makes some very strange and unexpected bedfellows and the liberal/conservative dichotomy is often a nothing more than a fiction. Money always plays both sides of the fence.
