1. Good.
Maybe that'll help dry up his revenue source.

5. Hey Rupert - call the NY Times - worked for them - NOT
Remember when the NYT got the "brilliant" idea to charge to read Krugman, Friedman, Rich, and the RW columnists? They dropped that one after about a year.

8. That is laughable. Good luck, Rupert Pupkin, I mean Murdoch. You fucking clown.

Nobody pays for news these days. Especially the dumb asses who enjoy Fox.

Oy, I apologize for the obscene outburst; he is just the most ignorant, pretentious clown ever to preside over a newtork.

12. Well, he is going after the weakest-minded, most Nazi-like segment of the populace.
They'll line up in droves, as they would have if Goebbels' had asked their spiritual antecedents to pay for the privilege to listen to HIS Bushiganda.

15. Good for him! I admire his entrepreneurial spirit!
And I think Fox News should be Pay-per-View, too.

16. He's losing money
Big time. We're getting our revenge. The rich right-wingers bought up all the big media a few years back spending a lot of money consolidating the news. And we bitched and moaned. Now they are losing. We still get the news but they are losing their shirts. I foresee a big sell-off coming soon.

19. Works for me. Either way, we win.
either Fox news loses money, or Fox news viewers pay it and it's a few $ less going to the GOP.

24. Good, may I suggest $10,000 per month?
The best news is that Murdock is going broke. His shit don't sell like it used to.
