I bet he just found out about Firefox and Adblock Plus.
The Fox News website is redundant.
If I want celebrity news, I go to TMZ.
That’s right. The economic climate being what it is few will pony up the cash. Oh well.
>> I bet he just found out about Firefox and Adblock Plus.
Oh, I bet ol’ Rupert has known for quite awhile, to the tenth of a percent, how many visitors block his ads.
I used to consider Murdoch, liberal weenie that he is, an astute businessman.
Of course, I used to think Warren Buffett was pretty financially savvy, too. :-)
lol, but nobody tell him
Hey FOX, nobody cares, your site sucks!
I would never pay for that.. sorry.. plenty of free news sites out there. I DO love my fox news on TV but they can keep the website if they are going to charge me.
Then again it didn’t work too well for the NYT, because bugmenot.com had a working password whenever you needed one.
Sorry Fox.. but I wont pay for online news. Find someone else to make money off of.
It will now be a premium channel.
I probably already have any plan they need.
me neither
I don’t recall the last time I landed on fox news dot whatever.
Well, ya know...this will only make twitter and blogger news sites even MORE important.
I’m all for capitalism with all the pros and cons involved. There are those that can afford to obtain the news that way, and those that cannot. Looks like I will not be visiting his news sites, and depend on this site providing me with the truth as usual.
Not paying.
I tried it for about 5 minutes. I thought some 1st year Computer student developed it. Deleted fro favs and haven’t been back since. OH well.
And we should care why???
See ya.
That’s what did me in with Foxnews.com as well; all of the sudden it started looking like one of those lousy, celebrity story-ridden rags they abuse the UK with.
It will fail BIG TIME; eventually all print rags will fall by the wayside.
It will pave the way for honest & true hardworking "reporters" to post online, only. And there is always FREEpervilled for all the news. Bye Rupert.
