This Isn't Really Political, But I'm Posting it Here Anyways
It *is* about media, so that kinda counts, doesn't it? Anyways... Faith in Humanity: Slightly restored.
NEW YORK -- After a firestorm of criticism, News. Corp. said Monday that it has canceled the O.J. Simpson book and TV special "If I Did It."
"I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project," said Rupert Murdoch, News Corp. chairman. "We are sorry for any pain that this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson."
A dozen Fox affiliates had already said they would not air the two-part sweeps month special, planned for next week before the Nov. 30 publication of the book by ReganBooks. The publishing house is a HarperCollins imprint owned - like the Fox network - by News Corp.
In both the book and show, Simpson speaks in hypothetical terms about how he would have committed the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Goldman.
You KNOW the shit had to have really hit the fan for Rupert "No Soul" Murdoch to admit this project was "ill-concieved" and in bad taste.
