OJ Simpson and FOX news

[wonder cow]

This story is just a further indication of the depravity of the FOX network.

For those who do not know, OJ wrote a "hypothetical" book about killing his wife and her friend. And FOX is planning a big interview.

Pressure grew yesterday on Rupert Murdoch's media empire to drop its appalling multimillion-dollar promotion of O.J. Simpson's memoir of hypothetically murdering his ex-wife.

Advertisers ran from buying time on the Fox TV special, and some stations said they wouldn't show it. Outraged commentators - including Fox News Channel windbag Bill O'Reilly - bashed Fox for its plans to promote the book, published by another Murdoch company.

Tens of thousands of people signed an online petition started by the family of one of Simpson's alleged victims that accuses Murdoch's empire of funneling O.J. money.

But the aging media mogul's minions wouldn't say a word.

The OJ Simpson case proves one thing for sure: If you have money, you can get away with murder.

No book. No TV deal. Now crawl back into your hole. (http://news.sawf.org/Entertainment/27928.aspx)

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - News Corp. said on Monday it had cancelled plans to
publish a controversial new book by O.J. Simpson titled, "If I Did It," and
an accompanying Fox network television interview with the former football
star.

News Corp. Chairman and chief executive Rupert Murdoch said in a statement
that he and senior management decided that "this was an ill-considered
project."

The book, which was to have been published Nov. 30 by the News Corp.-owned
HarperCollins imprint ReganBooks, was touted as featuring Simpson discussing
how he would have carried out the 1994 murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown
Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, if he were the one responsible.

The book was to have been preceded by a Fox television interview of Simpson
conducted by the publisher, Judith Regan. Fox, like HarperCollins, is a unit
of News Corp.

Simpson was acquitted of murder charges in 1995, but a civil court jury
later found him liable for their deaths and ordered him to pay $33.5 million
in damages.
