How are Murdoch and Fox a threat to America at all?
Clearly a central tenet of your support for building the Mosque at near Ground Zero is based on Freedom of religion. You would subordinate the sensibilities of the 9/11 survivors and families of the victims to the right of Imam Rouf and company to build their mosque and "community center". Don't Murdoch and Fox have the same character of rights under the First Amendment as you would guarantee to Imam Rouf? If so, I'd guess that we'd also have to take the Huffington Post, The Nation, etc. off line to be consistent?
