The dinosaur hasn't got a clue. His paywall thing is going to flop. The genie is out of the bottle, it can't be put back it. The only way for that to happen would be for absolutely ALL news outlets to start charging. Murdoch is delusional about his power and the importance of his company to people who will just vote with their feet.
According to the book "The Man Who Owns The News", Rupert Murdoch doesn't use the internet and that his wife opens and reads his emails for him. This clip completely backs up that assertion. He clearly doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. Someone's obviously told him about the iPad which is why he's talking about it. "There'll be these things in colour.. like tricks that you touch..." Extraordinary.
Rupert has never heard that they can stop Google from looking at their site with a single line inside robots.txt on Rupert's site? Why did this guy get rich if he doesn't understand a thing?
Occasionally, this guy says something brilliant. The rest of the time, he hasn't got a bloody clue how the world works. Ridiculous. Especially the bit about Google supposedly owing them for their content, LOL! Without Google, no one gives a flip about their content, and fewer will ever even find it!
The man is going senile. All of his points my four-year-old cousin can muster whilst playing on his Xbox.
I don't particularly like the unethical constraints of globalisation and capitalism, but the invisible hand of the market will see to it that Murdoch and co. is dead and buried come this time next year.
Acquisition of MySpace: Fail
Thinking that One-sided Journalism has a place in majority markets (i.e. Fox): Fail
Thinking that people would pay for his corp's content: Major Fail.
Just look at the guy. Come on! He's drunk!

It would be really costly to "produce a real quality newspaper" but producing a sleek package of lies is quite cost effective !

Google do not charge you to search.
There are quite a few points in this interview where it's clear this man is scared and out of touch.

Couldn't you stretch the anamorphic video into 16x9? Rupert looks like he weighs 70 pounds.

This dino said nothing interesting or new he just spewed a bunch of tech one liners. Bottom line, greed.
