Follow-up on the news: So there is something too low in taste for Murdochworld (but they just had to see if they could get away with it)

"I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project. We are sorry for any pain this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson."--Rupert Murdoch, announcing the News Corporation's cancellation of its planned O.J. Simpson book and TV specials

Nah, it was not too bad for HIM. It was the loss of public support that scared him.
Look at that face, he would do anything. He makes his living profiting from dead Americans and Iraqis at the moment. And, by stifling the truth.
But they do have a mission:
"Just as our assets span the world, our vision spans art and humor, audacity and compassion, information and innovation - whether in an American television series, an Indian game show, an Australian newspaper, an English sports broadcast or an international box-office hit," the company website states.
"Every day, hundreds of millions of people are entertained and enlightened by the authors and actors, printers and producers, reporters and directors who fulfill our mission. That mission remains unchanged after half a century of expansion and improvement: the creation and distribution of top-quality news, sports and entertainment around the world," it states.
Seems like this was an "audacity" / "top-quality entertainment" project with a bit of compromise on the quality angle.
