What made NewsCorp dump OJ Simpson and Judith Regan? Loss of Money, not morals
Las night, from AP :
Any hopes of commercial reward were quickly overwhelmed by near universal revulsion to last week's announcement — from those who knew Goldman and Brown, from booksellers and advertisers, even from Fox News Channel personality Bill O'Reilly.
A dozen Fox network affiliates had already said they would not air the two-part sweeps month special, and numerous stores had either declined to sell the book or had promised to donate any profits to charity.
"I really don't think there would have been very many advertisers who would have been willing to participate in this show," said Brad Adgate of the ad buying firm Horizon Media.
With little advertising, Fox would miss the chance to profit from the show. If there were no advertisers, the show wouldn't even be rated by Nielsen Media Research — so the number of people watching would have done nothing to help Fox's season average, he said.
The cancellation was a stunning setback for ReganBooks — an imprint of HarperCollins — and Judith Regan, who had labeled the book and interview Simpson's "confession." She insisted that she had done it not for money, but as a victim of domestic violence anxious to face down a man she believed got away, literally, with murder.
Emphasis mine
Incredible, isn't it. It's the loss of money, not the vulgarity of a Judith Regan and Oj Simpson profiteering from the violent murder of his ex-wife and her lover that did not make Murdoch flinch before giving the green to the project in the first place.
Unbelievable.

Speaking hypothetically of
Speaking hypothetically of course, somebody needs to take action on this mother fucker. Where are the extremists when we actually need one. This mother fucker is making a fuckin' mockery of our legal system. One of the fundamental aspects of our society. He's a fuckin' killer, everybody knows it, and he's walking around free. If that's not enough, now he's shovin' that shit into the faces of the victim's families and the rest of the nation.
It is damn well time a vigilante steps up and takes care of this shit. All we need is one good crazy mother fuckin ex-marine style mother fucker.
In my opinion the best way to hypothetically do it would be public execution style assassination. Find out where this fucker plays golf. Find a clear line of site to one of the driving areas. Wait for him to tee up. And take his fuck ass out with a high powered sniper rifle. It will take the police at least twenty minutes to figure what direction the shot came from. And that's if our ex-marine isn't using a silencer. Plenty of time to escape.
And as far as prosecution goes. I think the entire country has a motive for killing his ass right now. So if he got out of killing two people when he was basically caught red handed, I think our man could get off as well, if he's caught.
I am hypothetically begging for someone to stand up and take action on this man. I think it would be a patriotic act. Don't let this man continue to mock our society so openly.
I'd stand up and do it myself, but I have neither the proper training nor the nerve for this sort of job. But someone out there does.
And I hypothetically hope that someone does.
