Steve Jobs was no fan of Fox News | Sympatico.ca News

"According to the biography, Jobs told Murdoch, "You're blowing it with Fox News." Jobs warned the fellow CEO that he risks having history remember Murdoch as a destructive person."You can be better," Jobs is quoted telling Murdoch, "and this is going to be your legacy if you're not careful.""

""The axis today is not liberal and conservative, the axis is constructive-destructive," Jobs recalled telling Murdoch. It's easy to tell where Jobs placed Murdoch on that spectrum. It was Murdoch's own newspapers in England that pushed destructive behaviour to new depths with the phone-hacking scandal. Allowing or encouraging reporters to tap into private phone conversations went beyond acceptable bounds – and the law – to bring down people and destroy reputations. Could anything be more willfully destructive?"
