Fox News Owners Rupert Murdoch and Sons to attend Hillary Fundraiser

[Oktoberfest]

Wonder how many Democrats will still buy into the lie that Hillary is not part of the Wall Street Establishment.

Keep drinking the koolaid

$2,700-A-Head Hillary Clinton London Fundraiser Expects Clooneys, Murdochs As Guests

Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of U.S. presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, is in London and looking forward to one of the most exclusive fundraising events in recent political history. Guests reported to be attending include Mr. and Mrs. George Clooney and Rupert Murdoch.

Ms. Clinton will be the guest of honour at a lavish dinner held in South Kensington tonight, after having first appeared in discussion with the English editor-in-chief of American Vogue, Anna Wintour, at a private art gallery in Mayfair. Initial rumours that the candidate Mrs. Clinton would be in London were rubbished by her campaign who told Breitbart London, “the candidate is in America”.

Natalie Massenet is the hostess of the dinner, the “ultimate power party” which will be held in a specially erected marquee in the gardens of her property. The Daily Mail reports that at roughly £20 million (US$28 million), her home is among the 50 most expensive in the UK.

The events will raise funds to boost Mrs. Clinton’s stuttering Presidential nomination battle with Vermont socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)

. With admission to the evening discussion being priced from US$500 to US$1,000, and attendance at the dinner coming in at US$2,700, some supporters will be spending the best part of £2,600 in the course of the night.

The events have been put together by ‘London for Hillary’, a group that says it is “building a formidable and influential group of UK-based American voters who believe she is the right person to lead the Democratic Party in 2016.” Organiser Stephanie Stewart says she supports Mrs. Clinton because she is “smart, determined and dedicated to democratic values” as well as being “a strong Progressive who can move America forward.”

The generous hostess of the event, Mrs. Massenet (50), is recognised as one of the world’s most successful businesswomen. Having left her job as fashion editor for Tatler magazine in 1998, the dual nationality Anglo-American and her banker husband (now ex) Arnaud Massenet launch net-a-porter.com — a luxury website in magazine format that sells designer fashion — in 2000.

By the time it merged with online Italian discount fashion firm Yoox in September 2015, the company was said to be worth US$1 billion and Mrs. Massenet earned an estimated US$111 million from the sale of her remaining shares.

Recognised with a damehood in the latest New Year’s honours list, the chair of the British Fashion Council is now branching out of the fashion and retail industries and into politics. One of Mrs. Massenet’s former colleagues told the Daily Mail:

“I’m not surprised Hillary has enlisted Natalie’s support. She’s extremely impressive and inspirational. She is also very personable and has a knack for making people want to work for her.”

Another added: “Natalie is a firm believer in girl power. She’s calling upon all her contacts to fight Hillary’s corner.”

She will give the Clinton campaign access to the pockets of wealthy U.S. bankers who form a large part of London’s American community — a key target for U.S. presidential hopefuls since former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani held the first Presidential campaign fundraiser here in 2007.

Asked about Mrs. Massenet’s aims for tonight’s London events, a source said:

“I’ve heard she’s planning to get hundreds of thousands for Hillary on the night. She’s aiming for a million dollars.”

Meanwhile, the Bernie Sanders campaign has also reached London.

She sits on the board for Walmart, you don't need to say much more.

[Mormolyce]

Politicians are part of the establishment, no shit.

The only people who are misled on that are those who think Donald Trump is an outsider. I mean, do they even know who he is?

[Deleted]

I'm not sure Hilary supporters believe she isn't part of the establishment. Many Democrats are essentially conservative progressives. They want the establishment to maintain control but remedy the worst abuses of society, which they feel responsible for because of subconscious guilt, as long as this doesn't mean they have to pay more tax or anything or compete with a negro for a job.

This Che Guevura shit Clinton has been pulling lately is deeply unconvincing , she should just play to her strengths as an establishment power-broker.

Hillary Clinton is centre right, so it is unsurprising that she attracts wealthy centre right people to her fundraisers. If she was British, she'd be a member of the Conservative Party.

It's only in the US, where 'conservatives' have gone so far into Cloud Cuckoo Land they have members who are virtually advocating a theocracy, that anybody thinks she is anything other than on the right.

But...Fox News is a republican propaganda TV...

Fox News is Republican Party propaganda TV.

Murdoch doesn't have full editorial control over the networks/publications he owns, hence the Times and Sky News are different in political slant to Fox News, even though he owns them as well.

[Cyberowl]

It's flawed regardless.

You don't care about what gets aired, but how much money it brings in. If you were the owner of a sports team, you don't care if it's football or basketball, you care about the money it brings in.

[Holtzmann]

Business men and women will always hedge their bets. Why do you think Trump keeps parroting that he gave money to everybody and their dog?

Considering the wreck that is the Republican race for the nomination, I'm absolutely not surprised Murdoch and everybody else with money is going for the Democratic candidate most likely to take said money.

Always someone from some corner of Europe no one gives a shit about who has to pop in and say this. What exactly do you think that adds to the conversation? If someone tells you their soup is too hot to eat do you say "yeah well the sun is way hotter so nyuh"?

Weren't you rustling your jimmies in another thread about someone attacking the source, not the message?

His point isn't mood and so he added something to the conversation, unlike your hypocrisy.

You are from Texas. AND you don't look like a steer to me.

[Dr Assbandit]

I'm shocked I tell you! Shocked! The only funny thing here are those who truly believe Trump is any less a corporate shill, to them I have a bridge to sell.

Oh yeah, it's not like US politics have an impact on foreign policy tied to other foreign powers

Kind of odd that the Clintons are holding a fundraiser in '...some corner of Europe no one gives a shit about...', which also happens to be one of the world's main financial centres and where I come from.

I pointed out to the OP that a centre right candidate would attract centre right donors, which was relevant to the OP.

The irony of your posts is lost on you, isn't it?
