Kerry: Murdoch 'Traitor' for Moving News Corp. to U.S.
by Scott Ott

(2004-04-06) -- Democrat presidential candidate John Forbes Kerry today called media magnate Rupert Murdoch "a traitor, a Benedict Arnold" for moving his company out of Australia and into the United States.

Mr. Murdoch's News Corporation owns Fox News, The New York Post and The Weekly Standard, among other media properties.

"By moving his corporation to the United States, Rupert Murdoch has betrayed all Australians," said Mr. Kerry. "The next time you see Bill O'Reilly, Neil Cavuto or Steve Doocy on Fox News, I want you to think about the Australian blokes, sheilas and ankle biters who go to bed peckish each night because News Corp moved jobs offshore."

Mr. Kerry said that when he is president, "nations will not be allowed to ship jobs to foreign lands."
