Yeah, the Death of Print, thanks in large part to Murdoch.

Also the Death of Truth, Justice, and the American Way.

Why are foreigners allowed to come in and buy up the Medium of Democracy?

Murduck was granted citizenship in the US. Funny how he gets US citizenship and then uses it to tear down with his lies that same country that allowed him to become a citizen. I think it time to look into Murduck and his news group and start thinking of invoking the Sedition Law and remove his citizenship which would then not allow him to own any US media outlet. All Murduck does is spew lies and hatred via his media outlets. REVOKE HIS US CITIZENSHIP.

I wish Murdock the best... the very best and that he goes back to Australia, he is a curse on our country, i.e., Fox News.

A decidly predictable conclusion & no-brainer. It takes far fewer workers to publish a web site than it takes to to publish a traditional, print on paper, newspaper. Even if every web-site's workers join a union & everybody gets a gr8 contract from every web-site, not many workers will be needed to publish a web-site 24/7. It's a numbers game.

We can take his citizenship away from him... and then he is yours, all yours.

If he is not one of the "Four Horsemen", he's gotta be holding the reigns of the horse for one of them.

And when Unions go, so do the papers they work for. A message to young people "Do not go into journalism" Not a bright future.

Took a real genius to figure that one out considering what has transpired in print new media over the last couple of years.......

Coming from a man who has added absolutely nothing to the betterment of mankind, he must feel this to be a great accomplishment.

If the unions are to die off then die off now and take the publishing arm of Rupert's empire down with them...before the itablet comes out in early 2010.
