Why do Fox Commentators refer to Daddy Warbucks on a regular basis. Granted it's not daily, but it is sort of obscure.?

Update:

Hannity says it and so does Huckabe. It's funny that Little orphaned Annie is never used

    Daddy Warbucks was a newspaper tycoon, so referring to Mr. Rupert (the owner of FOX News and many other media outlets) would make sense as a nickname.

  • That would be because the average Fox News viewer is 68.

    This is a topical reference for them.
