" Most to ignore that it's going -- try to ignore so nobody notices sent somebody blew the whole thing we just -- a new -- it -- to practice. -- but Metairie Mariah is thank you and -- yesterday. -- a guy went to college with Jeff. He brought his daughter and -- interest in broadcasting for some god knows why don't. Reason and now she's sophomore college and she's.

It's it's it's bracing it's intelligent it's. Great -- and check out against political veterans take your picture and it's. Is good and adjectives and moreover as a politician and it's wonderful. Why you're limited WiMax chips from now that at that fat itself. Though the the one I'm thinking of a number what Kennedy was stupid. And that's all you that is -- an opt out the water where it says that all -- Murdoch once stats are. -- For using his web sites now they do this with The Wall Street Journal -- ten bucks a month I just gotten off or on an almost before -- to read the journal now I just cancel Boston Globe. Which was 43 dollars a month or something I was being charged for home delivery and when they went up to 43 I said that's it forget about -- that's too much money. For newspaper which half the time is gets piled up on -- at home and you did the globe is actually driving the price up on purpose to to try to go under to not not to try to go under but to. Cut circulation cut that I am I'm thinking and economists think they want a smaller model truly a great way -- That did you actually trying to reduce expenses in the way to reduce expenses as a reduce the number of -- people -- accessing an on line now I don't know that the online version is as profitable and that's really what -- are no no no it's not trying to do."

" But there's of its interest in what you're proposing because that's the thing imprint was always to falsify those numbers even if it meant printing. Tens of thousands more than actually got distributed show. And I don't know if it's switch around where the revenues -- solo. That they'd rather distribute fewer papers and -- and maybe they're trying to speed up. People drop in the newspaper. So they find out what their core audience is raise the price per unit and have it be more profitable from but I don't it's possible that doing that ever since I -- few years ago I mean you're review really where you -- your clairvoyance on this issue. In terms of the incredible expense of the printing. And then the distribution. Of newspapers when you can do it the inefficiency and yet the -- I was just trying to save our planet Irish 'cause I enjoy their -- I know that if you believe the man induced global warming model that the war. That the thing that would or you most about the way we operate in the world today is that we still print newspapers it's the most. Blatantly inefficient thing in our midst I -- cars look like they're heaven to the to the planet. Compared to newspapers are being delivered to people's doors are ridiculous so I wasn't being -- I was seeing the obvious which is really. What we try to do here we try to see the obvious and point out to people. Is that the idea of the reform our Murdoch wants -- quickly like this year this fiscal year anyway -- he's planning on moving. His newspapers. And his news web sites into -- pay model. That is would you pay money to go to foxnews.com. Would you pay money to go to the New York Post website I don't see people -- in the us. I don't know how he's gonna get from here to their but I think what the newspapers envision. Is a world in which you pay either to get on their site or maybe there's some kind of consolidations. Service where you pay a news fee every -- I would pay ten or fifteen bucks a month just to be able to freely move about the America any any news story that gets like that no I would do that you would not pay. 22 gonna foxnews.com. Or New York poster or Boston Globe I'd be reluctant."

" I would pay for -- the Boston Globe online. I don't know how much does going to be a price point obviously but I would definitely do that. I would avail myself of the opportunity you mention a few moments ago that you can now subscribe. If it you know -- the email version of The Wall Street Journal for ten bucks a month. Again the content equality and the content that you get in the journal I think is unsurpassed for me the Boston Globe on. Is an easy one because that has provides the local. Really the local faxed a local flavor of the local feel of our community and out -- little corner. Of the universe so those two sites for sure I would absolutely pay I -- night I. Worry about it it was a lot of sleep about it but I worry about how we're gonna -- and -- and disseminate. Legitimate -- yet nation about legitimate events in our world I wanna be reasonably well informed citizenship."

" And the real problem right now assistant and despite all the other real problems we've alluded to like the that the Internet than in how the structure of of news dissemination is changed. The real real real underlying problem at all as is no value placed on good news -- any -- the -- most of what. Gets. Been shown on TV news in particular is is the nonsense about Michael Jackson and his gold -- crotch grab aside I mean it really we have battered -- picture how it's gonna play. 617266. Exceeds sixty when you pay for news would you pay for news where you see this model newspapers going I think we will be paying I think that. The newspapers will find a way. -- what do they call that when they they cooperate with each other and in blocking illegally blocking our free commerce big companies anti -- there's a word for when they all collaborate on on doing something like a price increase together or something like Sarah how collusion. Yup I think they're gonna -- although the newspaper companies and find a way to switch over a -- model. And the -- because right now it's not about newspapers anymore it's about stories new read stories you go to the Drudge Report or you do Google loser Yahoo! -- what ever have -- links to stories to other newspapers anymore you go read those stories you don't wanna have to have a separate contract with the each one. This got to be a way to make it work where they collect a little money. And the freedom of move her on the Internet as protect."

" Model is already then reasonably well established would not be I mean it was an age where he UPI android is. Really designed to do news gathering. And -- they got a loyal audience on behalf of hundreds of outlets but you period you can read all this stuff free on the Internet so guess where the problems. 6172666.

Would you go into something worse a consolidated news fees so if that fifty bucks a year guy you. -- all the rest of the news besides The Wall Street Journal would you do that."

" Debt limit junk on that."

" Yes say you take apologizes and that's -- think's gonna happen I think a lot of people would enjoy programming note I think a lot of people out immensely frustrated with the offerings that they get off though television. And and and it's try to try as we might -- and I think we're pretty good at it try as we might you know enough three and a half hours it's still fairly limited.
