I had already switched to reading the Financial Times at the public library anyway.

They’re Pearson owned, and a little more reliable than the WSJ even when the Bancrofts owned it.

That, and it’s pink.

It’s nice to see that fascist wasting his loot on a dying industry.  The only thing that’s keeping newspapers afloat is the fact that, right now, it’s very cumbersome to sit at the breakfast table, drinking coffee and, at the same time, trying for an online equivalent of switching from, say, page Al to page Al1. That, plus a paucity of local news.  Once these deficiencies are resolved, though, goodby MSM & good riddence!

Hey come on the only reason Murdoch is successful is because we consume his crap.He is only capitalizing on our stupidity.I suggest that if everybody who claims to be so outraged at Murdoch getting the Wall Street Journal stops buying it and hangs it around Murdoch’s neck like an albatross it would signal that the public is ready for journalistic integrity.But alas he will put a female stock trader on page six with her skirt over her head and you will all keep buying.

The Bancrofts disappoint me. They should have held out for $20 Billion. They should have broken that rascal’s financial back just before announcing they were launching a fresh competitor financial news organ to compete with both the owned Journal and the proposed Fox Money Network.

Murdock had the money. And, if he really wanted WSJ that badly, that old reprobate should have had to leverage his massive info-tainment empire to own it. Instead, the Bancrofts pitifully sold out short. $5 Billion? That was an insult, given the stature of the DOW and the WSJ combined in the finance world. The Wall Street Journal has an aged reputation for sound financial reporting, despite their conservative commentary. The Bancrofts squandered an opportunity to rape Murdock. The Bancrofts could have easily commanded and received three times that $5 Billion asking price.

Now, I’ll have to rely on Forbes for sure. Murdock’s history of hiring minions gifted at making up stupid crap as they go along will keep me far away from the WSJ forever and a week.

“When you’re smiling you’re smiling and the whole Jewish world’s smiling with you....”
Isn’t it amazing how Jewish Murdoch looks.  I wonder what a DNA analysis would disclose…
“I have been accused of being too pro-Israel and too pro-Jewish, to which I plead guilty as charged,” media baron Rupert Murdoch, who is not (actually) Jewish (but surely acts Jewish), told 400 supporters of the Jerusalem College of Technology (March 5, 1999). Driving home his point, the chairman of The News Corp., which controls vast international media and ommunications empire, added: ‘For 50 years, my companies have taken a strong, even strident, position in support of Israel. Our commitment to Israel and its people is unyielding and I believe in Israel‘s future.” The love affair is reciprocal. Murdoch was honored by the Jewish college (which combines religious and engineering studies) with its Wilstein Award in recognition of what it called Murdoch’s role as a global leader in the world of high technology.
God Bless him and the Jews. More power to them both. (Not that either really need any more power of course.)

Oh Gee, what am I ever going to do?  The VERY VERY wealthy Bancrofts are selling the capitalist review OOPs, I mean the WSJ to the VERY VERY wealthy Murdoch’s Now all the news about rich guys is in the hands of the same gent who covers all the news about poor guys, (as in the NYP) how egalitarian.

Just one more reason (Bu$hCo and K-$treet were the originals) to divest in the US stock market. Where have all the filthy-rich American patriots gone? C’mon Billy Logic-Gates, you can out-bid this crazy-like-a-fox Aussie.

Why does the New World Order have to be bad?

If it wasn’t for Viagra, Murdoch would be curled up in front of a television watching the News; the real News.

Now that he feels he’s UP for spreading his trashy ideas throughout America, he buys every media source available.

DAMN YOU VIAGRA!
