Murdoch is all about the money. Republicans will dismantle antitrust and anti-media-consolidation law, so on his "news" media he promotes Republicans. Lowest Common Denominator entertainment is the best selling stuff, so he puts that on his entertainment media. Sometimes (as with this fine) they conflict, but he stands to make more than $1.2M continuing to support Bush, and he would lose far more than $1.2M removing all the programming that the fundies don't like, so this is the cost of business.
