A source familiar with the trip told The Independent that the vice president spoke to both Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch, as well as a group of executives from the right-wing network

How big of a rock do you have to live under to NOT know who Rupert Murdock is? He has been in the news pretty much every week for months, if not longer.

    I work with blue collar people. Vast majority of them definitely have no idea who Murdoch is. Those same people don't know the bias of the wsj or probably what the New York post is.

    Some of them vote. They never ever check sources or try to understand forces behind it.

    It's fun though seeing how talking points get filtered down through sources they see.

    if they dont know who rupert is, they wont know who lachlan who is currently the one controlling fox(and not NEWS CORP). Its funny i only ever see them qoute the fox and right wing talking head out of context.
