That site is awful anyway. It’s not worth the hassle even when it’s free.

If I were in a position to charge people for access to my page I would. Viva la Capitalism.

What about the chattering masses?
Is it ... “Let them eat cake”?

New York Times went down that road...for a while.

I only watch FNC on cable tv...not the PC.

...Good luck with that....
Personally, I think you’re going to lose much more than you will gain, Mr Murdock.

They’ve got one of the most poorly designed and generally useless websites in the world. Nobody is going to pay for that.

The WSJ is less than half of it’s original size since Murdock’s takeover. I bet the paperboys are having trouble even tossing that thing on a windy day...
