Murdoch Says, "We'll Charge For All Our Sites"
Oracle Goddess writes "In what appears to be a carefully planned suicide, Rupert Murdoch announced that his media giant News Corporation Ltd intends to charge for all its news websites in a bid to lift revenues, as the transition towards online media permanently changes the advertising landscape. 'The digital revolution has opened many new and inexpensive methods of distribution, but it has not made content free. Accordingly we intend to charge for all our news websites,' Murdoch said."
Anything that reduces the number of sheep reading right wing echo chambers can only help America.
I still have more fans than freaks. WTF is wrong with you people?
Left wingers are lemmings through and through.
This is my sig.
It proves nothing. You can call a rose,a rose; and a pig, a pig; without being one your self. The history of Fox news is documented even in court cases...
The only thing that's really documented is your mindless parroting of the left-wing talking points that "Florida Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with an assertion by FOX News that there is no rule against distorting or falsifying the news in the United States".
The real story is not exactly that. Jane Akre and Steve Wilson sued under Florida's whistleblower law, which provides protection only for employees who report misconduct which is against an "adopted law, rule, or regulation". Unfortunately, what Akre & Wilson site wasn't a law, but an FCC policy, so the appellate court ruled that the state whistleblower law did not apply. Which is a far cry from the left-wing kook fringe's mischaracterization of Fox News' position that "there are no written rules against distoring news in the media.
You should really stop mindlessly parroting what you read on your left-wing kook sites, and think for yourself.
I'm sorry, but with these sites, if that's how they feel, get the fuck of the internet. It was fine before you came along, and it'll be fine after you assholes have left.
Guess they have to raise the funds to pay Billy West somehow...
There is no way I would pay for that right wing, nut job, propaganda they call NEWS....
Its bad enough that news in general is pathetic... but Murdoch is out of his fucking mind if he thinks anyone finds his "news" outlets are worth paying for.
Then again, Fox News viewers are the same nut jobs that pay every sunday to worship a fucking fairytale. I guess "How real" the content is, doesnt matter in either situation.
March on Nazis.... March on.
Murdoch has no clue what he is doing on the internet. Look forward to see less of his yellow journalism.
Where is the "andnothingofvaluewaslost" tag?
Calling someone a "hater" only means you can not rationally rebut their argument.
Where were they when we spent billions of government dollars on undeclared wars and racked up a huge deficit during the Bush years? Hypocrisy much?
*Sigh.* Gooktards with shitty logic always get modded up for toeing the party line.
Copying and distribution of content hasn't been a significant cost center since Gutenburg.
Creating quality content in the first place, that's as expensive now as it ever was. If you weren't such a worthless gooktard fag, you'd know that.
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods
Considering his morals, Murdoch might as well be Satan.
The world will be a better place the day Murdoch finds himself penniless. I for one wouldn't pay him a dime, no matter what he passes off as "news". It used to be you could read the Wall Street Journal and actually get non-biased economic reports. Now they are so filtered and planted with all sorts of Pro-News Corporation slants that you simply can't trust the factual content of even their stock quotes.
Nothing owned by Murdoch is good. The guy is a fucking cunt.
