Rupert Murdoch has had several months to exert influence over his new property, The Wall Street Journal. Many see the modifications to the paper and his grab for Newsday as a direct attack on The New York Times but Slate's Jack Shafer says the speculation is overblown.

Thanks for confirming what I have always thought. In other words, we can thank the audience for the Conservative bent of Fox News. Murdoch is only offering what sells best.
I am certainly unsurprised that he seized control of his property and am unconcerned that he might compete with the New York Times. It's reputation is a bit tarnished and it could use a competitor to sharpen it up. Meanwhile all newspapers need to find a new business model to survive.
Good luck with that.
