Rupert Murdoch tells a funny: "People will pay if you give them something good"
http://rawstory.com/2009/12/murdoch-people-pay-good/comment-page-1/#comment-30066

He must have been getting some information from sources WELL outside his own organizations,
as "something good" is about the only thing his media outlets have NOT offered the public.
Murdoch's idea of "something good" seems to be having Glenn Beck incite some (other) maniac
to go assassinate someone.

I think the last time Rupert Murdoch ever offered anyone "something good" must have been when his
youngest kid turned 8, and he bought him an ice cream at the zoo (or some such act of similarly
great humanity), and even then, that's assuming he gave the kid a good brand of ice cream.

1. And nit wits will buy anything you have to sell if you throw in a few patriot
slogans, cry, beat your breast and tell them they are in grave danger from anyone who doesn't look, speak, worship or have lots of cash on hand like they have. Never mind such little facts that Joe the plumber and the girl from Alaska that wears a bikini moose hunting, for example, were the biggest welfare queens out there, it was their standing up and saying they pulled themselves up by their own boot straps that make them true national hero's to be admired. And fixed news proved their traditional american values beyond a shadow of doubt.

3. Actually, Rupe is right.
That's why, every day in NYC, you can see stacks and stacks of unsold copies of the New York Post lying around. Its greatest popularity is with cat, puppy and bird owners, and not because they enjoy reading it.

4. Well, he might be right - but nothing Murdoch owns IS any good.
He is a fountain of feces.
