Rupert Murdoch has withdrawn the backing of Fox News from the O.J. Simpson non confession. Mr. Murdoch gave the following statement regarding the decision to can the project:

"I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project," he said. "We are sorry for any pain that his has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson."

Speaking only for myself, I am positively thrilled that the will of the American public is so important to Murdoch. I look forward to a siesmic shift in programming on Fox News reflecting the will of the people, as proven by the last election, to end the war in Iraq. All the new programming in support of stem cell research will be a welcome relief. I wonder if Vice President Cheney is still going to insist that hotel rooms he stays at have all televisions tuned to Fox News once they start running the stories that slam him around... in tune with Murdochs newfound respect for American public opinion and knowing that Cheney is held in near universal loathing by said public.
