Rupert Murdoch’s National Geographic celebrates the Virgin Mary

6. Thanks, I didn't know RM owned NG now.

Let the bottom-feeding commence! A friend subscribes to the NG offshoot magazine "History" and she's passing them along to me. I like that mag and haven't seen any obvious religious glurge in it yet. But will now brace myself...

Speaking of bottom-feeding, Murdoch did do ONE good thing that I know of. When O.J. Simpson "wrote" his "book" (If) I Did It, it was originally a project of a Murdoch publishing house. His employee Maureen Regan put the deal together.

The book was seen as a huge slap in the face to the Brown/Goldman families. Simpson not only pretty much confessed to the murders, he stood to make a huge pot of money off the book deal.

Murdoch stopped the publication and fired Regan. A court case later awarded all book rights and subsequent profits to the Browns and Goldmans.
