Shame Found, Alive But Confused, by Rupert Murdoch

Well, that was quick! The media tizzy that developed after the announcement of OJ's new book If I Did It, Here's How It Happened, finally got too hot for Fox head honcho Rupert Murdoch. When your own FoxNews talking heads are calling for blood, you know you're in trouble. So Murdoch, who owns both the publishing company releasing the book and the TV network set to air the accompanying interview, pulled the plug on the whole shebang. It almost causes me physical pain to say this but - well done, Rupert.

EDIT: OK, so I'm watching Countdown and Denise Brown is telling Matt Lauer how NewsCorp approached the Browns/Goldmans with "hush" money. Only after they turned the payoff down did the book/show get pulled. So, looks like my praise of Rupert was premature.
