In an interview on Fox News Channel's Your World With Neil Cavuto Thursday, News Corp Chairman Rupert Murdoch accused the writers of attempting to impose "some sort of Socialist system and drag down the companies." Murdoch predicted that the strike "is not going to last as long as everybody says," but quickly retreated on that forecast by adding, "But, if it does, it does."
