By David Carr's logic every for profit business would be better if it wasn't run to make money. If Murdoch didn't change the way British papers are run there might be but a few left. Today there are 11 dailies in London or something, he only owns 2 dailies and 2 Sunday papers. And plenty of the others routinely bash him. No one mentions that following the construction of the "new printing plant", and his breaking of the unions everyone other paper company followed suit. Within a year no less. Why the unions were bleeding them dry. No one mentions that the union contract required jobs made redundant by progress in printing and other technologies. The whole industry was stuck generations in the past a "time warp" is what some called it. Unions are vital, but a union can't remain legitimate if it constantly stands in the way of progress and a company's internal hierarchy. And the reason it needed Razor wire and a fence the unions got violent. Hundreds of cops were injured and hundreds of union members arrested. Although cops were accused of being hard. Imagine that, and at a riot no less. That said even the union bigs condemned the violence. As for Ottaway, I bet 80 a share changes his tune! If not then perhaps they should put their money where their mouths are and go private.
