Rupert Murdoch Denies Interest In New York Times, Disses Twitter, CNBC

The Street:

TheStreet.com: Michael Wolff has written in Vanity Fair that you want to buy The New York Times (NYT Quote), that you've planned out the deal in detail. Is that true?

Murdoch: No. That's nonsense. I don't think it's for sale anyway. I haven't even thought about it. But I would imagine that it would be legally and politically almost impossible, so I'm not thinking about it.

This man poisons media

[WhatDaBleep]

This man poisons minds! He is one of the most hateful people on the planet at this time!

[fairdebate]

I just bought a boatload of stock in NEWS CORP..and I advise you to do the same....Once the American People are Jaded by Obama...the Media is going to be held accountable(for bad coverage,and manipulati­on)....Thi­s will drive MILLIONS to FOX...Fox has already seen a massive uptick in viewers since the election.....and this will only get better....If you think Im wrong....Dont buy the stock..its your loss

[UsofA]

C'mon everybody, let's make money on the decline of civilization!

[lvdragonlady]

Monopolies are illegal in America.
When is the government going to step in and stop this guy from buying up media outlets?

[fairdebate]

Americans have one news station FOX.....Obama owns the other ones..Id say the Government is responsible for the Media Monopoly

[NTexasHillbilly]

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!

[UsofA]

Anyone have a spare stake we can pound into his heart?

[fairdebate]

Your to violent...go pound your mom

[Mustang Sally]

Stop drunk posting - it's not pretty or grown up.

[John Horner]

I let my WSJ subscription lapse after he bought it. This guy and his ilk have put a lot of hurt on the world.

[Matthew Benzor 1]

The FREEMASON powermonger Thats all he is.....!

[Imzadi]

Disses Twitter and CNBC. In my life, I NEVER thought I would agree with him...

[marijam]

If he gets his hands on the NYT we might as well give it all up.

I couldn't believe it when I heard old Scrooge was buying into the Wall Street Journal a few years ago. At first he said he wasn't until the deal was done.

Now Murdock wants to spread more lies throughout the New York times, wtf!

The Murdoch empire keeps metastasizing. The condition of privately owned media soon must be deemed inoperable.

The Scrooge imagery is okay...but for the last couple of days since these photos have come up, I have been nagged by the thought, he's Mr. Creakle from David Copperfield

'I'll tell you what I am,' whispered Mr. Creakle, letting it go at last, with a screw at parting that brought the water into my eyes. 'I'm a Tartar.' 'A Tartar,' said the man with the wooden leg. 'When I say I'll do a thing, I do it,' said Mr. Creakle; 'and when I say I will have a thing done, I will have it done.'

I mean, jeeze Roop what's with the sour puss? I hope it's not your interpretation of gravitas. Somebody give this poor man a bowl of prunes please before his face explodes...and some lubricant to stop those bones from scraping when he's walking..

[fairdebate]

What lies...your telling us that FOX is lying about the harm Obama is doing...Obama is mad also...If FOX is lying Obama should file a lawsuit.or accept the invitation to debate on FOX...If Obama is right (there should be no problem)

[manitoumackinac]

He can have the Gray Lady, but he's not going to get me to subscribe to it anymore. I'm probably going to subscribe to something like FT or the Guardian. This guy has completely ruined American Journalism.

[Mondayboy]

greed ruined american journalism

[hey0there]

greed ruined america

[hopeforchangenow]

I cannot believe what some people will do to make money. I hope he goes bankrupt soon.

[fairdebate]

dont hold your breath...the Obama stations will fall first

[atomic]

Ugly ... walking corpse.

[hmmmmmer]

What a disgusting human being, making money by dividing a country that he has shown he could care less about. Become a citizen because laws that will allow him to make his billions are easier to get around. Then spew hate at every turn.

[hawkweed]

As the ole wifie fairly put it-" Why on earth would any body want to marry that creepy old man?"
