Rupert Murdoch Plans a Digital Newspaper For the US
Hugh Pickens writes "The Guardian reports that Rupert Murdoch plans to launch a digital newspaper in the US geared specifically to younger readers and to digital outlets such as the iPad and mobile phones. The paper, as yet unnamed, will pool the huge editorial muscle of Murdoch's combined holdings within News Corporation, which include the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post and the financial wire service Dow Jones, as well as his newspapers in the UK and Australia. Earlier this month, Murdoch said of the iPad: 'It's a real game-changer in the presentation of news,' adding 'We'll have young people reading newspapers.'"
now the teabaggers can get their hate news and misinformation in print format when they are out and about
Does Fox News, BTW, ever cover the fact that Murdoch is married to a former member of the Chinese Communist Party?
What's wrong with the communist party?
Capitalism isnt doing so great these days, just because your dad taught you to have a knee-jerk reaction to "communist" doesn't mean it has failed, like capitalism has.
we know what kind of 'news' we can expect from the US 'news' channels.
at one point, MANY years ago, CNN used to be a news channel. they have had significant bias for well over a decade, now. fox, the opposite bias.
we cannot get unbiased news from any single source. but the News Machine(tm) is just that, single sourced.
kids today pretty much know this. everyone now gets their news from various sources; the more varied, the better.
game's up, big news ceo. your kind is gonna vanish, perhaps even during your own lifetime. deal with it, gracefully, if you can.
If you cannot get unbiased news from any single source and everyone gets their news from multiple sources, how is losing an extra source of news a good thing? Or are you one of the those people that simply bash Fox News and never watches it? You do know that there are plenty of left leaning people at Fox News just as there are right leaning ones. Just because the three biggest names from Fox are O'Reilly (who I would argue is actually a lefty, whether he wants to admit it or not), Hannity, and Beck, doesn't mean they don't have left leaning people (like Shephard Smith and Chris Wallace).
Also, since O'Reilly is the only one of the big three that calls himself a "Journalist" (the other two consistently call themselves commentators, just like The Daily Show isn't a news show either), I think it's pretty unfair to label Fox News as not a news channel. The only difference between Fox News and the ones on the left (CNN, MSNBC, etc) is that Fox doesn't toe the Presidential line. Thankfully, the others are starting to question this President's policies as well.
He's likely sick of the anti-republican anti-libertarian hatred coming out of the Democrats and their people in the Congress/White House. Like - "Pro-small government supporters are kooks." or "Watch an unbiased channel like NBC not FOX." or "Everyone in the teaparty is racist." or ""If you oppose Obama's policies it's because you hate black people. You must be silenced."

FOX NEWS.com should be BANNED from television and internet. Have the Congress take it over and give us Truespeak.
