NPR's Jim Zarolli reports on the U.S. media operations of Rupert Murdoch. Australian-born Murdoch runs Fox TV, and this week the Federal Communications Commission said Murdoch's News Corporation would not have to give up any of the eight t.v. stations that make up the core of Fox TV, even though that violates foreign-ownership rules. Murdoch supporters say his US operations have brought competition to the airwaves. His opponents say he's brought shlock.
