Rupert Murdoch is not stupid. He is a businessman and opportunist.
Mccain is almost certainly going to lose unless someone kills obama. Murdoch seems to want to go with public opinion. It is not uncommon that businessmen and corporations will support both the republican and the democrat in the same race. If the winner is clear, then they may only give money to the winner.
America may be entering a new era when entertainment news is less popular. If Americans become very poor, they may watch less news (even if it is entertaining) and start watching more fantasy/fiction/drama/action/comedy shows to forget about reality.
The more important question is .... will Obama support Murdoch?
I am sure Obama will be flooded with donations from corporations and rich business people because they will hope to be treated nicely by Obama after he wins. How will this affect Obama? I don't know.
