I also didn't understand the name. Another comment mentioned that it is a reference to Citizen Kane.

Media tycoon and proto Rupert Murdoch wannabe Charles Foster Kane (totally not William Randolph Hearst) was the Owner/Publisher of the New York Daily Inquirer (in addition to being a behind the curtain lever puller and king maker).
