Murdoch Donates $250K to Schwarzenegger
What goes around comes around – in sometimes a surprising way!
So it is with the Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rupert Murdoch relationship.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported Sunday that last month Murdoch's News America Corp. gave a donation to Schwarzenegger's campaign "totaling a muscle-popping $250,000."
The paper notes the warm feelings between the two were not always so.
"Back in early 1990s, Arnold sued Murdoch's News of the World tabloid for printing an unauthorized biography that told of the muscle-man-turned-actor's national political ambitions and accused him, as the Columbia Journalism Review put it, of being a crude womanizer 'given to expressions of racism, anti-Semitism and admiration for Hitler's ability to lead."'
Schwarzengger won his suit and received an apology. He also collected 30,000 pounds sterling from Murdoch's paper.
