News Corp Also Trying To Mount Yahoo Bid

Silicon Alley Insider:

TechCrunch reports that News Corp is also frantically trying to put together a competing bid for Yahoo, with the help of private equity firms*. This makes sense, given News Corp's previous interest in trading MySpace for a big Yahoo equity stake.

With only a $60 billion market cap, News Corp has the same problem that other traditional media companies do: It can't afford to do the whole deal. It could certainly provide some funding, relationships, and expertise in exchange for some equity, however. So far, TechCrunch says, there are no takers.

Is it just me, or does Murdoch's face, below the mouth, look like a ball-less scrotum??

Is this creature the ugliest man on the planet, or what? I really believe that a life of corruption shapes the face, and over time produces results like these! Someone else, who looks like this pig, who is, instead, a decent human being, might well be attractive...not in the classical sense, but in the sense that a good soul shows through when it is in attendance. There's none of that in this face, or this man. This face shows a lifetime of greed and corruption the likes of which rarely shows itself in public. This face easily scares children and dogs. You can't fool kids and dogs, they see through the masks.

This is a face even a mother couldn't love!
