Reuters: Murdoch stuns critics, shuts down scandal-hit paper
Guess why? There is strong opposition to his purchasing a U.K. broadcasting company because the perception of him is that he is a shiftless opportunistic ethically-challenged conservative hate-monger, and he really, really wants that broadcasting company. He will make far more money if he gets it because then he will be able to fill the airwaves with faux news and misinformation stoking anti-government pro-business sentiment leading to the corporate capture of government and regulatory agencies. And then, the complete and utter destruction of the middle class master plan will have a key milestone accomplished.
Honestly, the opportunity to jetson the newspaper as if driven by remorse and a willingness to respond to the public's outrage -- you can't buy a brand redemption campaign this cheaply in the free marker.
Ha ha ha. See what I did there? "Free market" ha ha ha!
