Fox Interupts Egypt Coverage For Infomercial With Rupert Murdoch
Fox Interupts Egypt Coverage For Infomercial With Rupert Murdoch

Think Progress:

At 11:00 AM Eastern Time, while MSNBC and CNN ran breaking news alerts and reported live from Cairo, Fox and Fox Business reported live from the Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan to bring viewers the unveiling ceremony for News Corp latest product, an iPad newspaper called “The Daily.” Fox News aired a full half hour of the promotional event, featuring NewsCorp chairman Rupert Murdoch giving a hard sell of his latest media foray. At 11:30, Fox returned to its news converge of the winter storm devastating the Midwest, only to interrupt its programming once again a half hour later for a lengthy interview with Murdoch.

1. Rupert hates the Internet
He is simply shocked that people will not pay for news on the intertubes. I have a feeling Rupert's empire is showing a few structural cracks.
