For writing "Lefty, It's Cold Outside" - an op-ed he penned on Democrats, liberals, and Socialists who oppose the theory of so-called "global warming," Murdock was dubbed "Muckracker of the Day" on the Feb. 2, 2009, edition of MSNBC's "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with David Shuster."

He was a volunteer and youth organizer on the 1980 and 1984 Reagan for President campaigns and an officer (assistant chief page) to the 1984 Republican National Convention.

Murdock also was an intern on the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee under Sen. Orrin Hatch (R., Utah) between 1982 and 1985. President Reagan appointed him to the National Advisory Board on International Educational Programs, on which he served from 1987 to 1989. He also was a communications consultant to Steve Forbes' 2000 presidential campaign.
