Interestingly, I don't think Murdock gives a rip about either factual reporting or thoughtful commentary. I give you Fox "News" as the example of d00m. He has another entirely separate agenda. I'm sure he thinks that if business people want reality, then they can create their own just like he does.
I can't think of a single organization that Murdoch has touched that hasn't turned into crap of one form or another. Not a single one. He's the George W. Bush of the media industry with the Reverse Midas Touch. Ah, you say! But he's made millions! Yes, and so has the cocaine cartel. Making money isn't the key measurement in this case. Making money is a necessary but not sufficient condition (and not even necessary in the case of the Washington Times, hello?).
