Judith Regan was a big earner for the Murdock empire and they trashed her totally. Make sense?
Bad PR over Regan pushing the OJ book.
Theoretically they trashed her because the OJ book went over the top, and then crashed and burned.
But as you say, Judith Regan was a big money maker. In her business, nice guys finish last, and she was used to finishing first.
And I never heard that Murdoch worried too much about going over the top or getting too much publicity. I think both he and Regan understood that there’s no such thing as bad publicity.
So, as you say, why did he fire her? Now maybe we’ll find out. Regan meant big money, but hillary’s enmity could mean even bigger money—down the drain.
