This is guy is SO scared to lose his job if he messes up this interview! If Rupert is so confident in his viewpoints, why doesn’t he allow himself to be interviewed by other news agencies that he isn’t a “1/3 owner” of?
He’s a super creepy man who meets secretly with politicians and spends millions trying to control the media you consume.
But to be “fair and balanced” I do see the news agencies (and entertainment sources) charging more for content, but not in the traditional sense.
There is value for online traffic, and if you’re a person who helps draw traffic (by retweeting for example) it would cost you less to access that content than someone who just passively consumes it.
That’s a very interesting idea Fausto. So someone who retweets or shares links would earn “reward points” that allow them to subscribe at a lower price…interesting for sure.
Good God… just looking at the guy gives me the willies. Mr. Burns lookalike, anyone?
