Rupert Murdoch has a new ally defending him in the opinion section of CNN’s website. The author of the article titled Media Hypocrisy On Murdoch is William J. Bennett, a member of the Claremont Institute, the Secretary of Education under President Reagan, and was the appointed drug czar by President George H. W. Bush, thus his conservative credentials are well established. In the article, Bennett claims that the outrage over the alleged wire-taping and police bribery is unethical because the same level of scrutiny has not been applied to other news organizations.
