So Rupert (Arrrrr!) is thinking about splitting off the publishing part of Newscorp to "improve shareholder value"? Poppycock, just like when a business says sudden changes are "to serve you better".
The move, if made, will be to protect the non-publishing assets (which are the real cash cows) from liability from Hacking-gate.
Issa is an @!$%#. No two ways about it.

In all fairness I just wanted to let people know that there is a Senator holding court for himself on CSPAN right now defending his right to invest money or he is defending the accusation of inside information. I believe he is using the tax payers money to defend himself, he should be writing the paper a letter now wasting taxpayers money for his own selfish gain.
Doctor Maddow's statement on the Maher program last week confirming that she's not a Democrat, and is a contrarian is elucidative. Dems have known since 2010 that Maddow is indeed a contrarian and is not a Democrat. Her forthright and honest statement kind of resets the Maddow paradigm. Now she can throw away her disgruntled Democrat costume and don her new duds. Maddow is "The Catbird." She reigns in the catbird seat and lays waste to all who displease her mighty will. She's also a gifted dramatic and excitational thespian. She's a dramatic, excitational, news amalgamating, leftie-ish Catbird who lives in corporate MSNBC Land. She's not a Democrat and is a contrarian catbird, whom like all catbirds, is just bound to be conflicted. Gobama 2012!. .
