Edwards blasts Dow Jones deal - Yahoo! News

"U.S. Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards on Thursday blasted News Corp.'s plan to buy the Wall Street Journal as stifling independent voices and called on rivals to refuse donations from the media conglomerate he says is biased against Democrats."

On the other hand, the New York Times is a bastion of independent voices and has no bias? I'm pretty sure Murdoch can't be much worse than Sulzberger when it comes to bias. But consider this: if Murdoch is so biased against Democrats, why would he have donated to their campaigns? It does not follow that Murdoch is biased against Democrats if he infuses their candidates with cash, does it?
