Buckhead pinged, as his sterling work is indirectly referenced about halfway down.
TOO LATE!
As soon as Circuit City starts the reorganizing they will be forced to cut their advertising in newspapers and thus shrinking the newspaper's revenue even more. I've already noticed car companies have cut their ads down by over half what it was in The Dallas Morning Snooze. There will be more to follow and it only hurts more as Christmas gets closer.
The Drive-by Media tried to put Conservatives out of business but it looks like we'll have the last laugh.
Long odds there.
Does that mean a little sit down with Shepard Smith is on its way, Rupe?
“A recent American study reported that many editors and reporters simply do not trust their readers to make good decisions. Let’s be clear about what this means. This is a polite way of saying that these editors and reporters think their readers are too stupid to think for themselves.”
Glad to see a newspaper man see the light. Unfortunatlely, most people in the news business will read that and think ‘I know he’s not talking about me.”
It used to be that a handful of editors could decide what was news-and what was not.That never changed
We dropped our subscription to the Wall Street Journal over their obnoxious boosterism for illegal aliens.
Investors Business Daily (IBD) is a more honest newspaper, level headed, and actually approves of everyone abiding by the law. How refreshing!
Sounds like he is refering also to the most recent Presidential campaign.
We need to hold the media accountable.
I’ve always said that without its credibility, all a newspaper has left is absorbency.

Interesting comment from Rupert Murdock, that those who purport to get our business should be giving us the business in such a patently arrogant fashion.Imagine that, that Charlie Gibson might be displaying hubris (a state of inflation with heated gas so extreme as to distend the belly causing the classic "stuffed shirt" appearance).
That Katie Couric might somehow realize she is a female dog and see that as a bad thing--no, Mr. Murdoch, you ask too much.
The late arrogant Peter Jennings told us we had a tantrum in 1994.
The great tradition of the New York Times Soviet apologist Walter Duranty is continued by Chris Matthews' Thrilling Leg Syndrome and Keith Overbearing's Strident Tourettes in Lieu of Objectivity.
Too late, baby, no, it's too late--
Carl Camerone huckster of hateful hoaxes on top of Shep's Swinging Purse hysteria--
Who would serve in those giant shoes of Leni Reifenstahl--who would hourly impress us with the divine qualities of Hussein the Islamo-Communist messiah agent of change after the epochal pressbasms of 1917, 1922, 1933, 1949, 1959, 1979.
Never again do we rely upon Edward R. Murrow to tell us Senator Joseph McCarthy was evil and Joseph Stalin nothing but enlightened, full of glowing promise.
Never again do we eschew the bold research and reporting of those independent of the emperor's enforced blindness.
Never again submit to the Ministry of Truth which is the arm of enforcement of Global Warming or The Gulag--Your Choice, Comrade.
The Old Gray Lady is dying of AIDS.
It is morning in America.
The End.
The arrogance of the publishers/controllers, editors and the “gotyou” pseudo reporters is killing the fishwraps and the pseudo news locally/regionally and nationally.
Hey Rupert. Your endorsement of Obama didn’t help much either. “Rock star” indeed.
"Far from celebrating this citizen journalism, the establishment media reacted defensively. During an appearance on Fox News, a CBS executive attacked the bloggers in a statement that will go down in the annals of arrogance. '60 Minutes,' he said, was a professional organization with 'multiple layers of checks and balances.' By contrast, he dismissed the blogger as 'a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas writing.' But eventually it was the guys sitting in their pajamas who forced Mr. Rather and his producer to resign.

The people who get into Journalism typically are clueless liberal busybodies with the instincts of social workers and activist attorneys, but who don't want a regular association with the riffraff the later two must endure. Without doubt the typical editor is in favor of the fairness doctrine and internet control because it stifles competition to their benefit and they hope MSM will come back as THEY LIKE TO RUN IT.

Rupert Murdoch at heart is a traditional newspaperman. But he sees the wood for the trees. Newspapers will thrive in the 21st century if proprietors fully comprehend what it means to be alive in the era of information. Read Transcript
