"We can't change elections"
There is a very famous front page headline from when Tony Blair was elected in one of his papers. It ran "It was The Sun wot won it".
This is basically a non-story though, news media could never be entirely objective, even if it wanted to be. They will always have an influence, and want/need an influence over people. Murdoch underplays it and implies it is only for benevolent means, I doubt a rigorous study of his media outlets would bare that out.
