His political commentary has aired on ABC's Nightline, NBC Nightly News, CNN, Fox News Channel, MSNBC, PBS, other television news channels, and numerous radio outlets.

He said on MSNBC's "Hardball with Chris Matthews" on September 16, 2007 that he believes Saddam Hussein was involved in perpetrating the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on America. Murdock cited Smith v. Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan., 262 F. Supp. 2d 217,[5] a federal case heard by U.S. District Judge Harold Baer, Jr.. Murdock details this case, and presents extensive additional evidence of Saddam Hussein's philanthropy of terror on a webpage he developed called HUSSEINandTERROR.com.[6]
Murdock was named runner-up "Worst Person in the World" on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann after writing an article titled "Three Cheers for Waterboarding", in which he called waterboarding "something of which every American should be proud."[7][8]
For "Lefty, It's Cold Outside" [9] -- an article he penned on Democrats, liberals, and socialists who deny global warming -- Murdock was named "Muckracker of the Day" [10] on the February 2, 2009 edition of MSNBC's 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with David Shuster.
Murdock received his AB in Government from Georgetown University in 1986 and his MBA in Marketing and International Business from New York University in 1989.
