Buried in a New York Times story Wednesday on media mogul Rupert Murdoch’s long-held dislike for 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is the revelation that the News Corporation chairman is building a “rapport” with Hillary Clinton.

“[A]bout a half-dozen mainstream Republican candidates are angling for Mr. Murdoch’s blessing, not to mention Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has developed her own growing rapport with him,” said reporters Amy Chozick and Michael Barbaro.
