Speaking at a US investment conference, Peter Chernin admitted that News Corp was "kicking the tires of pretty much all video games companies" - up to and including market leader Electronic Arts....

This could be good.
So as through a glass, and darkly

Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

It hasn't occured to you for one instant that they can separate politics from business or creativity or whatever?  

Oh, that's right, lefties keep can't politics separate so they assume that no one else can either.

Well, to be fair, you've shown that it's difficult to keep politics out of most arguments, yourself...

Point.

But I'm one of those wackos that listens to AM Radio exclusively.  I'm not a good example to use.

Are you trying to act ****ing stupid? Is this your way of getting a rise from us?

IT'S BASED ON THE FACT OF HOW BIASED FOX ARE.

Sorry lads that had to come out.

Well, it could be very well seperated.  Remember when Fox almost sued itself?  Fox news corp. VS Fox Entertainment because of that one episode of The Simpsons making fun of Fox News Channel's ridiculous amount of conservatism...

With Krusty running for congress we see another unbiased Fox News presentation;
Fox: Welcome to Fox News. Your Voice for Evil. Tonight we'll be interviewing the top two candidates for Springfield's 24th congressional district. For the Republicans? Beloved children's entertainer, Krusty the Clown. ..and for the Democrats, this guy. (Candidate appears with on-screen devil's horns, communist flag in background)
Candidate: I have a name!
Fox: Yes, I'm sure you do, comrade. I appreciate your being here, you're (switches to split shot of both candidates, and Krusty has an on-screen halo) usually so mired in sleaze (they both react) it must be an effort to come down to the studio.
Krusty: May I say something?
Fox: Certainly congressman. (switches to split shot of both candidates, and other guy is now upside down)
Candidate: He hasn't won yet!!
Fox: You make a very adulterous point! We will now conclude this debate with a Krusty campaign commercial..

During the above dialogue, a Fox type news crawl appears across the bottom of the screen;
Pointless News Crawls Up 37 Percent...
Do Democrats Cause Cancer? Find Out at foxnews.com...
Rupert Murdoch: Terrific Dancer...
Dow Down 5000 Points...
Study: 92 Percent of Democrats Are Gay...
JFK Posthumously joins Republican Party...
Oil Slicks Found to Keep Seals Young, Supple...
Dan Quayle: Awesome...

Lol...no, seriously, this might be good for gamers. FOX has some great movie liscences, so they could make some good games.

And, for once, why don't you guys think that they could seperate their right wing agenda from making money?
Honestly, how could they endorse Bush in a Need for Speed game or what have you?

In all honesty, my opposition is purely because I think Fox specialises in low-quality, low-iq, lowbrow entertainment.
