News Corp to charge for all news websites

Agree! My hubby and I were just discussing the tabloid quality of the Fox News website this week and agreed that we need a new Home Page.

Can you imagine people paying the New York Post website? That will be funny.

As for FoxNews.com and FoxBusiness, I don’t use it now when it is free, I certainly won’t be paying for it.

[Comparative Advantage]

The Fox News site looks amateurish quite frankly. They waste too much main page space on celebrity clap trap, too. I use it in lieu of CNN but don’t really like it.

[GAB-1955]

That would include the New York Post and the Times of London. Shoot. I’ll have to start reading the Telegraph more.

[khnyny]

Fox News website sucks.

Good luck with that one.

[Oshkalaboomboom]

I couldn’t even tell you what the Fox News website looks like, and it’s free. What makes him think I’d pay to look at it?

Fox is owned by a truther - not that one, but Saudia Arabia Inc. who are certain they know the whereabouts of the Jews that destroyed so much of the NYC real estate they owned. They just tell their front man Murdock what areas to include or aviod in reporting the “news”.

Strategic blunder........ The superior ratings and money for Fox will dry up like Hilary’s face.

[upchuck]

Who cares, we got Breitbart etc.

Being on a dialup line at 49K, I have little use for graphic intense web sites like Fox News. Townhall.com is prolly the worst. Their home page takes nearly three minutes to load. So I never go there.

Murdoch can charge if he wants, won't bother me. Go for it Rupert!

[pvoce]

Why should anyone pay twice for the same content? If anyone has FNC on cable/satellite, why should anyone pay again for the same content just because they’re at work/out of town?

[Obadiah]

Didn’t know that. Thanks for the list.

[ZX12R]

The FoxNews.com layout sucks, so I don’t read them anyway. No big deal to me.

I go there occasionally, but I've always hated their website. It's slow, hangs up, and has too much advertisement loading constantly. Worst one out there, in my opinion. Pay for it? LOL!
