Rupert Murdoch sold the majority of Fox. While he's conservative, his sons appear to be less so. Thiel might be trying to hedge against a world where Fox doesn't exist.

This is a great point, and a real possibility. With Murdoch's sons in charge, look for Fox to really move away from the right. Their willingness to cut O'Reilly so quickly despite his massive audience was indicative of this new approach I think.
