The Bible' Would Have Fit Right in at Fox News

Rupert Murdoch wanted Fox News to air The Bible, the hit miniseries on History with an Obama-esque Satan. Murdoch wanted the miniseries to run on a News Corp. channel—he just couldn't figure out how to fit it in among all the comedies, murder shows, and talent contests, the Los Angeles Times's Joe Flint reports. So Murdoch and Fox chief Roger Ailes planned on runningThe Bible on Fox News Sunday nights, presumably instead ofHuckabee reruns. They thought it would appeal to its "older and more conservative audience," Flint reports. Alas, it didn't work out. News Corp. and The Bible's producers, including Survivor bigwigMark Burnett, couldn't come to an agreement on the money or the rights.
