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."
Then instead of people not reading their print editions, then they will ignore the web edition as well. Sounds like a solid business plan to me.
At least Fox News will still be free.
I get all my news and rumors from a little unknown website called "slashdot".
The news are always fresh, they never repeat their news and the views of the editors are impartial, especially to corporations like Microsoft and Apple. They also have a moderation system that is so brilliantly designed that it cannot be messed with, even by monsters known as "trolls".
Oh, did I mention they never repeat their news?
I can't wait until I'm old enough to feel ways about stuff.
"In the absence of the ability to establish the attribute of truth they tried to establish the noble attributes."
the national faces of the right now appear to be somewhere between rush limbaugh, dick cheney, and sarah palin, all 3 with obvious problems appealing to anyone besides screeching rightards
then we have the birthers and their paranoid schizophrenic thinly veiled racism. dividing, discouraging and polarizing the right wing base, so wacky they make 9/11 truthers look levelheaded
and now the principle propaganda wing of the right is committing fiscal suicide because the boss is so old and venal and out of touch with the reality of modern media
seriously, can it get any better?
i am really quite amazed at how fast the right wing has imploded after the presidential election
buffoons and absurdities, all that seems to be on the landscape on the right right now. hilarious and wonderful. i'm actually looking forward to the next act of seppuku on the right
oh look, here it is!:
huzzah!
keep it up, angry, ineffectual low iq losers on the right
all the news is cheer nowadays
enjoy your march into the sunset
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
Oh yes, and I love how he says "news websites".
The day Fox start reporting actual NEWS is the day Satan goes to work in a snowplow.
I can feel the tweet swelling in you. Goooood. Strike me down with all of your blisteringly witty Web 2.0 snark, and your journey toward Big Media will be complete.
Oh, I'm afraid your friends blogging from the free Starbucks WiFi are walking into a trap...

Well, yeah. Only idiots would pay to look at Fox News.
Oh I don't know.. Fiction is still quite popular.
It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his job depends on not understanding it.
Fox may not deal in news, but the Times (or, for non-Brits, the London Times) is a serious newspaper, and has a well-implemented website. I will be sad to have to find an alternative.
Your neighbour sounds like a dick.
He's only a delivery boy, give him a break!
cmd-q.co.uk - some sort of stupid fucking internet bullshit
Well he did say "My neighbor (also a computer programmer)".
