I found Murdoch's remarks about the future of newspapers and journalism very interesting. He also stated that "the education system in this country is a total disgrace." Overall, it's a good interview.

There's some interesting inside baseball on Keith Olberman too.

Murdoch staunchly defended the Fox News Channel's "Fair and Balanced" motto as accurate, adding that even Bill O'Reilly "gives both sides all the time" -- a remark that prompted laughs from the audience.

So why aren't there more liberal voices on Fox News, Kara Swisher asked? Murdoch replied that he would hire a liberal voice if he could find one that was strong enough.

"Would you hire Keith Olbermann?" Swisher asked.

Murdoch's response: "No, I fired him five years ago... He's crazy." [LINK]

There's your opening, Cenk. Crack the books and become a more knowledgeable commentator and stronger interviewer and have your lips surgically removed from Olbermann's butt cheek and you could be the newest star on Fox News.
