OK, so they didn't actually say that, but for a news service to say they are going to charge for access to their websites is equivalent to the post office raising rates to try to drum up more business. It just goes to show how out of touch the news media is these days. What we have now are all the big wigs that are left over from the big news era who are trying to run the out-dated media giants like they did in the '70's. It's not going to work. We live in the .com world now. News is pulled from Twitter, blogs, and circulated via email quicker than the talking head can finish reading the story. All three of these are free too, so when people have a choice of getting the same news for free or paying for it, they will almost always go with free. Good luck with that Fox. I understand that you are by far the most watched news network, but you will be surprised at how fast people realize they don't need you once they have to start paying for content.

I read about this last week and thought the same as you. In fact I told hubby NOT to go to Foxdotcom at all from now on. Let em eat fish. I guess once you have billions you continue to crave more? Do you think it could have anything to do with the White House being able to shut the Internet down whenever there is trouble here? That's another blowjob hard handle .........
Found a link off twitter to you.
