I see a coming market for a reliable daily business newspaper...and I don't mean Investors Business Daily.

" Dark day For Journalism " That is a funny statement coming from the mainstream Media . Jayson Blair and the New York Times made up stories and called them news . CBS used forged documents in an attempt to unseat a sitting President . USA Today had to fire a reporter for " making up the news " . CNN lost it's reputation during the Clinton era by becoming the " Clinton News Network " . AP is another caught falsifying news documents. Zogby rigged his exit polling during the 2004 election . Of course CNBC is balanced financial journalism ,LOL. It's a dark day for MSM because their own tactics have been successfully used against them by FOX . Meanwhile , those of us who seek independent , unbiased voices in the news will remain looking because it is not to be found.

Totally agree ... march to your own drummer ... take everything with a grain of salt. World is filled with people trying to sway your opinions ... think or suffer the consequences. Off to work (at a hospital job I don't believe in, to support the business I DO believe in ) C.C.

LAUGH. Like the radicalized left EVER CARED about a paper that supports capitalism, free enterprize, and free speech! Oh yeah, they are "worried". Now if MoveOn.Org was buying it, they would be cheering announcing that its about to become an "honest" news source....meaning radiclaized politically correct censorship & spin is about to take place.

I find this whole "Dark Day for Journalism" rhetoric rather odd considering that you have far more reaching media outlets such as Viacom, Time Warner, and General Electric (to name a few) with their blatant left wing policies and agendas reaching more people than what News Corp. could ever imagine having in the United States (no less worldwide). Guess it's just another case of who's who that makes a difference on how these business decisions are perceived, isn't it? But what will be intriguing will be whether the investment public is ready to embrace either: The News Corp Industrial Index or The Fox Industrial Index or The Murdoch Industrial Index Fib

I rather like Murdoch Industrial Index.

So would the index names be referred to as : a.) the NIX (NewsCorp Industrial Index) b.) the FIX ( Fox Industrial Index ) or c.) the MIX ( Murdoch Industrial Index )

for "fair and balanced" why not try the bubblemania network....where you have Bob Pisani who never met a stock he didnt like..Squeeky "the NDX is going to 10,000" Bubleomo..and Joe Kiernan...who every day the maket goes lower looks more like Julius Westheimer...

The better interpretation of this photo is that "Dark day for Journalism" is below the New York Times!
