Steve Jobs told Rupert Murdoch Fox News was "...an incredibly destructive force in our society." Was he right?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) October 26th, 2011

Read what Jobs said at a News Corp retreat where he addressed the gathering, then chatted directly with Murdoch over dinner that evening. According to Walter Isaacson’s new biography, Jobs bluntly told Murdoch, “You’re blowing it with Fox News.” Jobs went on to explain, “The axis today is not liberal and conservative, the axis is conservative-destructive, and you’ve cast your lot with the destructive people,”

Considering the US conservative push to destroy unions, eliminate any minimum wage, end Social Security and Medicare, eliminate all regulations of pollution and of financial institutions, engineer voting rights to ensure one party rule, avoid universal healthcare at all costs, lay off teachers and defund public education, institute a flat tax to concentrate wealth in the hands of oligarchs, let our infrastructure crumble and avoid investment in the future in any way that doesn’t enrich the individual investors personally, is Jobs right?
