How the FT Is Losing the Financial Opinion Wars

Thanks! Very interesting read!

I dropped my online subscription to WSJ when Murdoch bought it out and I saw the outstanding journalistic coverage of the Journal slipping into flashgirlytown like many of Murdoch's media enterprises.

I now subscribe to FT and am lost in its discussion of UK and European stocks and businesses but I think FT introduces me into a totally new world of financial understanding and broadens my narrow, parochially American views of the world.

I think their coverage of political and other news, my primary reasons for subscribing, is outstanding and gives me information that is unavailable in an American media dominated by the trivialities of the Murdoch media empire.

Chatting With News Corp's Rupert Murdoch

Lisa, Murdoch's ridiculous statement also caught my eye.

I have never been able to forgive Murdoch for dumbing down U.S. news coverage since his entry into the U.S. media market.

I find U.S. tv newscasts impossible to view because they are so devoid of content.

Is Cablevision Overpaying for Newsday?

Arrghhh! Bad news about print media.

Very sad to learn about the McClatchy situation.
