Regan: News Corp. Asked Me To Lie To The Feds In Order To Help Rudy
Judith Regan, former book publisher for a Rupert Murdoch subsidiary, is now alleging that News Corporation executives asked her to lie to federal investigators about her affair with Bernie Kerik, in the wake of his short-lived nomination for secretary of homeland security.
The reason? Regan says New Corporation favored Rudy Giuliani's not-yet-declared campaign for president, and didn't want any bad publicity to undermine him. If these allegations turn out to be true, it will be one more piece of evidence for those who say that Fox News has been pulling for Rudy.

Roger Ailes and Rudy go back some 20 years when Ailes ran the media campaign for Rudy's first mayoral campaign. Rudy has also been very generous when it came to tax breaks for real estate for News Corp. Rudy supposedly receives a lot more face time and coverage on Fox News than any other Republican candidate.
I believe Fox/NewsCorp senior management see themselves as kingmakers and they have selected Rudy. Or, maybe this is a prid pro quo for favors done in the past.

Whats Up?
"...one more piece of evidence for those who say that Fox News has been pulling for Rudy."
Those who say?
Is there anyone who doesn't think know that Fox News is pulling for carrying water for Rudy?
