If you actually read this site, you would realize that I have no love for CNN either. They’re almost (but not quite) as bad as Fox News. But why do you have to have such a knee-jerk reaction? Do you actually want to defend Murdoch’s decision to buy an ADMITTED spyware company? Do you actually want to stay on topic, or are you just a troll?

I agree with you that Murdock should not be buying a Spyware and I can’t even understand from a shareholders point of view why he would do this. Another words, does the spyware acquisition add any values to the sharholders, I think not, but…

All in all, why is he buying this company….does it have a piece of technology that Fox needs and it would be cheaper to buy it than to start from scratch? Is Fox going to use this purchase to intergrate with its new Fox Interactive Media department.

Please, I am not trolling and I do enjoy your comments

I’m with Tom Leonhard, I can’t figure out what Rupert would want with this company. This buyout is about the same amount of money Microsoft was rumored to be paying for Claria, so if it’s a dollars-per-ounce-of-evil thing I think they overpaid.

What really blows me away is that today Whirlpool bid $1.2B to buy Maytag; is an upstart spyware company worth almost half that of a venerable appliance company?

Can we just start these comments over please? :rolleyes:

Any company willing to associate themselves with a known malware provider is effectively biting the hand that feeds it.
