Giuliani, who expended considerable political capital as Fox's man in the trenches, is already getting heat for securing something of a sweetheart deal for his political bedfellow Murdoch. The mayor is chipping in one of the city's non-profit educational channels to TIME Warner, which will use it for Fox News until more room can be made on its system.
