If you remember, I actually complimented Rupert Murdoch in a post last week. Well, the relationship has soured. Rupert hasn't called me since the post, the thrill has gone away and we no longer seem to have things in common.
This largely stems from the announcement that Rupert is planning on keeping fees for The Wall Street Journal website -- when he was trying to purchase the WSJ, he had said he would probably eliminate the online fees. Now, just like he always does, Murdoch is twisting the knife a bit more. "'The really special things will still be a subscription service, and, sorry to tell you, probably more expensive."
I understand the guy has to make money. I just wish he hadn't gotten me so excited about all that free content. The good thing about WSJ.com is that you can split the subscription with friends like I do. Yup, even The Baron knows how to save a dime.
