Quote Of The Day

"Why would I spend $5 billion for something in order to wreck it? When the Journal gets its Page 3 girls, we'll make sure they have MBAs."
Rupert "sleezebag" Murdoch talking about purchasing the Wall Street Journal.

It's too late for him to harm the editorial section, it's already hosed. But the Wall Street Journals reporting has been the best in the nation.

I find it interesting that the WSJ reporters are staging a walkout in protest of the sale.
Sounds like a left-wing kind of thing, doesn't it?

Yeah, it is really interesting. Ironically, the WSJ with the biggest nutbar editorial board really has done some of the best overall reporting of news in the U.S. I guess they are (correctly) worried about becoming the dead tree version of faux.
