In Iowa, Clinton Pressed On Rupert Murdoch
The curious relationship between Hillary Rodham Clinton, presidential candidate, and Rupert Murdoch, media baron, flashed briefly before the eyes of Iowans on Saturday night during a Clinton campaign event.
A woman in the audience rose to ask Mrs. Clinton about Mr. Murdoch's ownership of multiple media outlets (Fox News, the New York Post, soon the Wall Street Journal, and various other organs), and also whether Americans would "lose out democracy" if one person is in control of the media.
And Mrs. Clinton played both sides in her answer, responding sympathetically to the woman's concern about media consolidation, but also making clear that she wasn't singling out "any company in particular" for condemnation.
