Is there any News Corp content that will even be missed? Even Murdoch's 'non-political' brands, and I use that description loosely, such as The Times and the Wall Street Journal are suspect (e.g. [Murdoch Alert] ).

How can firewalling his content accomplish anything but bilk his true believers out of their money? Will the rest of us notice even its absence? I so rarely go to News Corp for anything now as it is.

Re: News Corp content (none / 0)

I quite enjoy Matthew Parris' columns in the Times. Quite the most civilised and humane conservative I've read.

Opinion versus news (4.00 / 3)

But that's opinion, not news. The New York Times experimented with hiding their opinion writers behind the subscription firewall and it didn't work. If there is one thing the Internet is not lacking is people with opinions.

For news, News Corp news is tainted. Their opinions, when not masquerading as news, are what they are. But hardly, I think, worth purchasing.

Re: News Corp content (none / 0)

That's the point, I thought. This news calls for a celebration.
