fuck you, rupert

like a shakespearean tragedy without the moral force and literary beauty.
Mr. Murdoch mused aloud about The Journal, saying, for instance, that he did not have time to read longer stories during the week and might like to swap out the paper’s Pursuits section on Saturdays with a glossy magazine.
how about just pictures? or a comic strip! just put sources' quotes in big bubbles above the pen sketches of main characters that the WSJ is famous for.
More recently, he told Time magazine that he was not sure about the offbeat front-page stories known internally as “A-Heds” that are a plum for reporters to write.
you obviously have zero sense of humor. these are endearing, interesting, and flat out exemplify what's great about journalism. which actually explains exactly why you'll kill it.
Reorienting the newspaper further for consumers would fit with two other aspirations Mr. Murdoch has. One is to build his nascent Fox Business News Channel.
great. as if business coverage didn't slant far enough toward the wealthy already. this might as well be a billionaires' circle jerk club.
