If Rupert Murdoch gets his way, and he usually does, internet surfers will no longer be getting something for nothing from the vast majority of News Corp.?s web sites.

The company chairman and chief executive officer said as much yesterday during an earnings call with investors.

Though Murdoch has been cheerleading the paid content model for online newspapers for some time, his comments yesterday seemed to go beyond papers to all of News Corp.?s news content, including sites for Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network.

?We intend to charge for all news sites,? Murdoch said.

Online editions of the London Sun, New York Post and News of the World, as well as other News Corp. papers, will begin to charge for content this fiscal year, Murdoch said, though he did not detail how those charges will be implemented or how high they?ll be.

Ok not even Sticky and 12clicks and their ilk are going to pay for a subscription to FauxNews.com. WTF there is news everywhere for FREE. WTF are they going to offer people that is an incentive to PAY? Are they going to remove the ads? I seriously doubt it.
