Interesting piece about another piece......

Recently Rupert Murdoch spoke at a Federal Trade Commission workshop on journalism and the internet. My piece is a piece about an adapted piece from of his remarks (confused yet?).  His spiece (or speech)  is about government, regulations, and the internet and what journalism needs to do to survive.  

However, I do not wish to focus on this point. Rather, I want to shine the light on another of his positions; that eventually people will pay for online news content, and actually want to.
With the rise of social media networks such as blogs, Twitter, and the sort it’s hard to believe that he would feel this way. The Drudge Report has released information before actual real news corporations have and recently there was leaked information through a NFL player’s Twitter account before ESPN had a chance to know about it first.

Really, pay for information? We are living in the hackers’ dream that started in the 80’s. The dream that information, all information, should be free. And now we that we have gotten this far we are going to be expected to pay for this information. To hell with it all.

Most of the information that we receive is controlled by only a few sources in general anyway.
You can keep your Twitter; your Fox, ABC, and NBC News; your Facebook accounts: and you can keep your constant updates you receive with your cellular phones. This constant feed is unnecessary. Sooo….you can keep your information Mr. Murdoch because I refuse to be hooked up to an iv feed of constant stimulation. Besides, half of the news is just fluff anyway and who really cares about that? Not me.

And let's face it, 80% of you all are going to eventually get brain cancer from those cell phones that are attached to your head so who is going to be left to buy the news  let alone listen or read it?????
