Murdoch to Internet: "Goodbye Cruel World!"
News Corp to charge for all news websites
"The digital revolution has opened many new and inexpensive methods of distribution," Mr Murdoch said.
"But it has not made content free. Accordingly we intend to charge for all our news websites," he said.
Per the linked Business Spectator article, Murdoch considers his tabloid newspapers and propaganda engines to be just as newsworthy as the Wall Street Journal, and thus just as likely to succeed under a paid subscription distribution mechanism.
Once Fox News and the Herald Sun are dead, perhaps he can apply the same fiscal logic to MySpace, thus burning the centre out of his lies-n-trash vortex of Western culture for once and for all.
