I wish Yahoo good luck.

June 2 News, according to foreign media reports, the old age of Murdoch after dinner in the digital event all things Digital conference, on a wide range of topics without reservations to express their views, including the president of Barack Obama's appreciation, Microsoft bought the death of Yahoo, even the U.S. energy policy on domestic oil drilling ("We didn't buy Alaska to protect a few elk.") ”）

The top news is likely to count the News Corp's Chairman as suggesting that Mr Obama is likely to win the November presidential election. Mr Murdoch points out that public respect for politicians and Washington has fallen to the "all-time low", he said Obama was a "rock star" and "great", while John McCain, a rival Republican, was "unpredictable" and "not very well known about the economy", although he was a "patriot" , saying it was a "nice guy," but he didn't seem to know much about organising the campaign.

Mr Murdoch went on to say that he was not supporting anyone, and he wanted to know more about Obama's plans and the people around him. But he also said the New York Post decided to support Mr Obama in the New York Democratic primaries earlier this year.

One of the big plays in the presidential election will be the economy. "The American people are really having a big impact on the economy right now, which is good for Obama's campaign," Murdoch said. ”

Mr Murdoch also said he was "puzzled" by the outcome of the Microsoft-Yahoo takeover war, especially as Yahoo's chief executive, Jerry Yang, has managed to get rid of Microsoft's takeover bid, even though the vast majority of its shareholders are keen to accept Microsoft's offer.

Mr Murdoch also admitted that News Corp was a participant in a prolonged takeover battle. "Yahoo and Microsoft have talked to us and now it looks like it's over," he said, referring to News Corp's MySpace and Yahoo's merger discussions.

Mr Murdoch is not optimistic about Yahoo's prospects as an independent company. Yahoo "to keep its own 20% of the search market share has been a difficult task, not to mention the increase in share." I wish them good luck. " Google's share of the internet search market is over 50%, and it has been growing.

Mr Murdoch's most pessimistic remarks were about the owner of the metropolitan newspaper. One listener asked him what he would do if he woke up one morning and found himself the owner of an urban newspaper. "I'm going to run away," Murdoch said. ”

Before talking about the subject, he has said that in the past five or six months, the average newspaper's advertising revenue has decreased 10-30%. While he is bullish on the prospects for a national newspaper such as The Wall Street Journal, he says metropolitan newspapers will have to accept a 10% profit margin, rather than 30%. "Some newspapers will disappear," he said. "What is the solution?" He thinks newspapers should publish articles that people "want to see", rather than "write an article to win a Pulitzer Prize (Pulitzer Prizes)."

Rupert Murdoch said the challenges facing metropolitan newspapers were an opportunity for the Wall Street Journal, which would probably reduce the editing power, but he also stressed that he did not have such a plan. But he also added to the idea of reforming the Wall Street Journal that he had said in the past, noting that the editorial numbers of the Wall Street Journal's regular articles were "absurd" (8.3 people). He also hinted that the newspaper's subscription prices might be raised. "At present, the Wall Street Journal's subscription price is about 125 dollars a year," he said. The New York Times is more than 500 dollars. We can also get more subscription fees from our readers. ”

For a tricky Hollywood topic, the "window" between movie theaters, DVD releases and Pay-per-view television, Murdoch said he would "be happy to see all the windows turned off" and let the movie be released simultaneously on a variety of media. "But there are a lot of vested interests, such as cinemas, that are opposed to this change," he said. But the change is still happening gradually.

Mr Murdoch has defended the "fair, balanced" purpose of Fox News channels, calling it correct, and saying that even O ' Reilly "allocated all of his time to both sides" was a big laugh for the audience.

Sveschel (Kara Swisher) asked why there were no more people on the Fox News Channel who were free to express their views. Murdoch replied that if he could find someone with a strong enough liberal opinion, he would hire the person.

Sveschel asked, "Are you willing to hire Olberman (Keith Olbermann)?" ”

Murdoch replied, "No, I fired him 5 years ago, and he's crazy." ”
