    I guess the irony of Sky News having a YouTube channel is lost on old Rupert

    What I find ironic when asked "are you losing money?" he says "no." So, what's the problem? If you're making money... what's the problem?

    If he believes he can make more money he is obliged to do so for the sake of his share holders.

    Or maybe he just wants to pander to those people who believe the BS his media outlets spout.... This way people who aren't prepared to pay for faux news will be excluded from his mind washing....

    Opportunity loss is a loss none the less.

    The thing is, he actually has a bit of a point, regardless of how hypocritical it may be.

    Google news, merely indexes what is out there, making money off the back of it, in selecting which article to read, there are many whos exerts get read with no click.

    Re: News - Murdoch to remove sites from Google?s index

    Okay, here's an exercise for you fine gentlemen.

    Go to the Sky News website, and find me the video of Keith Vaz and Tom Watson being interviewed about MW2. Especially try using the search function on the site.

    Go on, give it a punt.

    But this wouldn't just be Sky...

    It would be all of NewsCorps assets one would presume...

    So Photobucket to IGN to Fox... Everything...
