You may be right about neither of them showing up on Fox News though. But it won't be because Murdoch won't hire them. It would be because they themselves might refuse to do it in order to keep their "street cred' with the liberal media.

Remember Alan Colmes was shunned by the entire liberal establishment for being the liberal voice of the Hannity and Colmes show. He wasn't even invited to the White House functions during the Clinton administration while all other liberal reporters were.

So maybe they might personally decide not to based on that. But boy...they would both make a fortune if they did. And can you imagine the ratings if Olberman and Sanchez were to appear on OReilly or Beck? Or have OReilly or Beck on their own possible Fox News shows? EVERYBODY would be watching that and talking about it around the watercooler.
