"My worry about the New York Times is that it's got the only position as a national elitist general-interest paper. So the network news picks up its cues from the Times. And local papers do too. It has a huge influence. And we'd love to challenge it."
Given Mr. Murdoch's bucks, experience and management abilities it would be hard to separate my news reports from my business interests.
Anyway, I hope he does give the NYT a run for it's money. Competition to get out "All The News That's Fit To Print" is a good thing...isn't it?
