News Corp Will Charge For Newspaper Websites

suraj.sun writes "Rupert Murdoch says having free newspaper websites is a 'flawed' business model. Rupert Murdoch expects to start charging for access to News Corporation's newspaper websites within a year as he strives to fix a 'malfunctioning' business model. Encouraged by booming online subscription revenues at the Wall Street Journal, the billionaire media mogul last night said that papers were going through an 'epochal' debate over whether to charge. 'That it is possible to charge for content on the web is obvious from the Wall Street Journal's experience,' he said."

Those are just as biased as Fox News.

>>>right-wing Fox

FOX is not right wing. In fact I've heard many libertarians/anarchists call FOX "liberal". In reality study-after-study has show that FOX lies in the middle (relative to the average American), while all the other television organizations lie on the left side with CBS to the far left.

"Although I agree with you, if Faux news becomes a pay site, that is one less media outlet I will visit. I like going there to see what the Fascist arm of the Republican party is up to."

Just a thought for ya...with the way the Dems are weaving their governments way into banks and private businesses...you might also want to keep an eye on the fascist arm of the Democratic party.
