It never hurts to have a powerful publisher on your side when you’re running for president. So it should come as no great surprise that Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry and News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch had dinner together in New York City Monday night, as
CBS News reports.
The Texas governor and Murdoch dined at the upscale Post House steak restaurant, a few blocks from Murdoch's Fifth Avenue apartment. Perry is in New York for fundraising events focused on Hispanic and Jewish donors.
No reports have emerged as to what Perry and Murdoch discussed.
Murdoch’s company owns Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, and the New York Post.
