I am delightfully surprised to find out that Rupert MurdochDOES HAVE A HEART. Money and ratings don't seem to be the only thing Murdoch and his minions think about.
FOX was scheduled to air a two-night special to introduce O.J. Simpson’s new book—If I Did It. The book allegedly details how he would have committed the two murders of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman if he had the chance to murder them. (Yeah right, IF he had the chance?)
First comes first—WHAT THE HELL WAS SIMPSON THINKING? Secondly—WHAT THE HELL WERE THE MEDIA EXECS THINKING?
How can they be so cold-hearted to relive such a terrible event? Do they not have hearts? Do they not have feelings? Do they not have consciences?
The good news—Murdoch does have a heart. The intense uproar from communities and (I'm seriously hoping) a conscience has led him to pull the plug on the FOX TV special and the book publishing. Good work Murdoch. You’re sleezy, but I guess not that sleezy. BRAVA!

I'm not so sure Rupert Murdoch has a heart. What he has is keen business smarts. His companies were going to publish that book and air that TV special for one reason only: to make money. When they realized people weren't going to buy the book, and advertisers weren't going to buy the program, they canceled it. Business 101, nothing more.
That said, the fact that consumers *were* offended and *did* complain, and that the local Fox affiliates refused to air the show, and that advertisers refused to buy time on it, has restored my faith in America.
