A view on matter from the Op-Ed/Editorial Cartoons:

Another twist from TV Week:

"The O.J. Simpson book saga took another twist Tuesday when his former sister-in-law, Denise Brown, accused the media company behind the project of trying to buy her family's silence for "millions of dollars."

Simpson's book, "If I did it," was a sequel few had dared conceive, with Simpson _ acquitted of murdering his ex-wife and her friend but later found liable in civil court _ describing how he would have killed them

A spokesman for News Corp., owner of Fox Broadcasting and publisher HarperCollins, confirmed that the company had conversations with representatives of Nicole Brown Simpson's and Ron Goldman's families over the past week and that the families were offered all profits from the planned Simpson book and television show, but he denied that it was hush money.

"There were no strings attached," News Corp. spokesman Andrew Butcher said."

Right.

What? Another controversy connected to the book.... shocking....

I guess the cynic in me finds the fact that all the little branches of Rupert's little empire seem to be doing their darn best to keep the story alive through outrage and controversy a little ummm... exploitive, manufactured, and grossly capitalistic.... which sadly is in keeping with the SOP of Ruperts little empire...

I thought that Rupert was on a mission to keep everything "fair and balanced."

Am I the only one who wonders what his children think about all of this? Sydney is 21, and Justin is 18 - other than not wanting to lose Daddy's money, it seems odd to me that they would want to be around the man who ("possibly") killed their mother.

Good question.
