Former Australian politician Bob Carr LOVES Fox News, but not for the reason you might imagine.
Recently departed Labor foreign minister Bob Carr, a close student of American politics, has declared himself "delighted" with Rupert Murdoch's Fox News channel.
Not, however, for the normal reasons that a person might support the predominantly right-leaning US cable channel, owned by Rupert Murdoch.
"I am delighted because it is a textbook experiment in how to make the Republican Party unelectable," Mr Carr told the Public Knowledge forum on Monday, an event hosted by Sydney University's US Studies Centre.
"If you are running as a candidate for the Republicans, you must do Fox News and you must pander to the table thumpers. By the time the general election comes around the candidate is too right wing to get elected. I think it is delightful," he said.
I can't say I agree with all of Carr's political viewpoints, but on THIS we are in 100% agreement.
And considering that Rupert Murdoch got his start in Australia this guy would certainly know what he is talking about.
