I've read some of the biography about Murdoch and seen interviews with biographer (on "The Daily Show" for example) and the things that Murdoch told him are pretty enlightening.
The guy that owns FOX News and various conservative news organizations is, in fact, not really that into conservative politics. Surprised? As explained in the interviews and book, Murdoch backs conservative media because (drumroll please) IT'S PROFITABLE!!
Yep, Murdoch likes money, and crazy conservatives like FOX News's extremism, so why wouldn't he post crazy stories to drum up higher ratings?
If he were just conservative trying to help his cause, you might think he's doing wrong, but that's his opinion. However, since that's apparently not the case, that just makes him greedy and evil.
So, to wrap up: Rupert Murdoch, not an over-zealous conservative, just the physical embodiment of capitalism's evils.

Ha, that is exactly what I said Google would do when Murdoch originally announced this. The man is a fool.

Murdoch's stories would not be a great loss at all. Actually, I hope this does happen - the collective IQ might even rise a bit if it does.

Just fine with me--I didn't realize he owned the London TImes--now I will have to find other news sources. I will not read or watch anything to do with this guy.

Good riddance. Who needs his propaganda?
Plenty of other real news companies that will step up and do a better job.

I hope he owns Fox News, because some one needs to shut those idiots up along with all of the "Fee News". I choose FREE NEWS and ban FOX NEWS.

Murdoch's stuff doesn't belong on the Internet. The Web is about free sharing of information and I applaud Google for keeping up the tradition.

Murdoch is a selfish,greedy little rat. He would put a price on oxygen if he could. I don't wanna read his lies anyway. You can see it in his eyes that he is miserable deep down in his soul. Nothing about him says "Hey I love life". People like that would rather bring everyone down to hell with them than change themselves for the better.

I think this is why suddenly Murdoch is calling President Obama a rascist. Murdoch has realized his google ban was a horrifically bad idea. Just like changing the subject when you've said something really stupid. Except this time his new subject is even worse. What an idiot.

That is why he hates net neutrality
He is an opportunistic bastard he was all up on Obama's nuts at first now that he has been seen the blind loyalty of the right wing base and their blind allegiances to any provider of that ideology so now he wants to be in the good graces of the crazy tea baggers. They will do anything he wants - 2 years ago

He wouldn't dare. No Google search traffic = dramatic drops in unique visitors = advertisers flee.
Murdoch's been talking this garbage for years, but he hasn't done a damn thing about yet. He knows he can't touch Google. In fact, he's afraid of Google. Murdoch and his empire is done, his papers are failing, and the only thing keeping the company alive are the cable news stations (Fox News and Sky News) and Fox.

Cool with me. This is an easy way to clean up google searches for me as I do not read stories from new corp anyways. Also, murdoch is a big time square.

Murdoch's stories have been fabricated in the past, so this would simply prove as a benefit to society, especially if he has less control.
