"Uncle Rupert"

Rod Dreher welcomes Beliefnet's new boss. Which prompts this vent from Roy Edroso:

If there is one person on the face of God's green earth who is the anti-Christ of Crunchy Conservatism, it's Rupert Murdoch. His commercial endeavors are a perfect synthesis of the values of what Dreher himself called "the Party of Lust" and "the Party of Greed." Yet Dreher calls him "Uncle Rupert." It's enough to shake one's faith in modish rightwing movements. Next we'll be hearing that metrocon thing was all bullshit.

Oh, please. Rupert Murdoch leaves almost all his writers alone. Suck-up hereby endeth. I love my Sunday Times column.
