Groening, 'Simpsons' Creator, Comes Out Against His Boss -- Murdoch -- Buying 'WSJ'

[133724]

NEW YORK In an interview in this coming Sunday's New York Times Magazine, Matt Groening, creator of "The Simpsons," declares that while he gets along well with Rupert Murdoch -- who owns the network that airs the TV show -- he doesn't want him to buy the Wall Street Journal.

"I think he owns enough," Groening says. But he recalls Murdoch being "gracious every time I've met him" and even going along with his animated appearance on the show with the entrance line, "I'm Rupert Murdoch, the billionaire tyrant."
