From Fox News…

Well, that was the greatest Christmas gift I ever got. My parents bought an electric guitar from the JCPenney mail-order catalog. They paid $99 for it. I didn’t know they really couldn’t afford it. It took them a year to pay it off, a little bit each month. But that was a life-changing gift for me, and that gift really got me out of my basic shyness, which I’m sure you’ll find hard to believe. But if it weren’t for that electric guitar that my parents sacrificed to give me, I assure you I wouldn’t be on the FOX News Channel, wouldn’t be talking to you, would never have run for anything except run to hide.

There’s a lesson here kids; get an electric guitar and one day you can become Governor, lose weight, run for President, go to work for Uncle Rupe and become the new Paul Harvey.

WooHoo!!!

Rupert Murdoch remains forward-looking, optimistic, positive. From the FT…

“but I do certainly see the day when more people will be buying their newspapers on portable reading panels than on crushed trees”.

“Then we’re going to have no paper, no printing plants, no unions,” said Mr Murdoch, who battled printing unions at his Wrapping plant in London more than 20 years ago. “It’s going to be great.”

See, this is what I love about ol’ Uncle Rupe; no public relations, leave that to the minions. Not one word about how his master plan will benefit society, elevate the culture or any of that crap. Just, “I’m going to bust a union, WooHoo!!!”

You go, Master of the Universe!

What a Nimrod.

I wonder what Rupert Murdoch is pondering as he is down $7 Billion and the newspaper industry swirls down the drain. From Breitbart/AFP…

The days of free news online were “going to stop,” he said.

“I believe newspapers will be selling subscriptions on the Web,” he said. “A (newspaper) website will be vastly improved, much more in them and you’ll pay for them.”

“There’s a case that newspapers rushing on to the Web to try and get a bigger audience and get more attention for themselves have damaged themselves,” he said. “Now they’re going to have to pull back from that and say ‘Hey, we’re going to charge for this.’”

Good thinking Uncle Rupe. Charge for it. On the web!

Novel solution my man. That’s why you are the man…man.

Simply charge for it on the web like all those other industries that are thriving from internet revenue…like porn and…uh…Somalian bank scams and…uhhhhh…..weight loss products……..yeah.
