Gosh- dont they already have ads in that paper?

It isn't like there is a tree shortage.

Consider that the pay wall is not going well in the UK.

I know that some cash has to be afforded to journalists- but how much so when a good portion of it is talking points?

which brings me back the - paper- doesn't it have ads in it already?

Lemon juice in the wounds, baby, and they started it.

So you`re saying that rupert is a petty little boy who can`t take criticism.

Looks like you have something in common.

They may drop the rupert street journal.

So who lost there?

Status: offline 		Of course, Murdoch's got a competing clipping news service:

"For the past decade, Democratic and Republican administrations alike have paid a small Virginia-based media company $100,000 or more each year to prepare customized packages of excerpts from print, TV, radio and blog outlets. Bulletin News of Reston performs the labor-intensive searches, which would otherwise require the hiring of government staff, every night starting at 9 p.m., delivering a package of article extracts and Web links to the West Wing by 5 a.m. each morning.


The Journal, which sits behind a licensed pay wall, has always been part of the package — until now.
Earlier this month, a Bulletin News executive informed the White House of the fee increase, which appears to have been motivated by Murdoch’s business model, not his conservative politics.

The too-big-to-pay rate increases have also been passed along to Bulletin News’s other administration clients, not only the White House, according to a person briefed on the dust-up.


Dow Jones, the News Corp. subsidiary that publishes the Journal, runs its own aggregation service, Factiva. A spokeswoman told POLITICO the White House could get itself a substantially better deal if they cut out the middleman — Bulletin News — and negotiated directly with Dow Jones’s sales team.


"The prices that have been provided are being quoted by a third-party news aggregator, not the Wall Street Journal,” Dow Jones spokeswoman Ashley Huston said. “They do not reflect the true cost to the end-user. We're happy to speak with any party directly to discuss accurate pricing for a subscription."

No. That sounds more like the guys who are now going to be paying extra to know just how they are being criticized.

May be worth mentioning that Kevin Kline played a man clearly based on Murdoch in the John Cleese movie Fierce Creatures.
