Rupert Murdoch: Feds Should Stay Out Of News Business, Except, Of Course To Smack Down Google For Sending Me Traffic
,----[ Quote ]
| Rupert Murdoch stopped by at an FTC workshop
| on the future of journalism to say that the
| federal government should "stay out" of
| regulating the journalism business. Except,
| in the same speech he said exactly the
| opposite. What he meant was that he didn't
| want the government to get in the business of
| funding journalism. Yet, in the very same
| speech he does say that the government
| shouldn't allow Google to link to his news
| stories, calling it "theft" yet again.

Times Online denies knowledge of link spam campaign
,----[ Quote ]
| Piotr Wyspianski, a manager at Sitelynx, was revealed on the Waxy.org blog to
| have waged a one-man campaign to game web aggregation communities such as
| Digg, Metafilter and StumbleUpon with over a thousand links to Times Online
| stories. Before working for Sitelynx, he had form for a similar astroturfing
| effort for his own online jewellery store.
|
| Predictably, the Waxy.org story has hit the front page of Digg and some
| Diggers have piled in to condemn Times Online, blaming a conspiracy by the
| original Digger himself. "I haven't respected The Times since Murdoch bought
| it, since that effectively means I can no longer trust its content. Fuck you
| old man!" wrote one.
