I already didn’t like MySpace, so much so that I’m not even going to hotlink it, but whatever I might have perceived to be bad about it in the past is eclipsed by the fact that Rupert Murdoch just bought MySpace’s parent company. I know, I know, you could argue that he owns the network that airs the Simpsons, a show that’s managed to be “hip” and “new” and at least tongue-in-cheek leftist for about a hundred years. But he also owns Fox News. So forgive me if I get a little nervous when I read that Murdoch now has “instant access to millions of computer-literate teenagers and is adding on average four million more every month.”
Can it be all bad?
