Murdoch Threatens to Remove News Corp Content from Google
Rupert Murdoch has controversially stated that he plans on removing content from all online media sources within his massive empire such as The Wall Street Journal, The Sun and The Times from popular internet search engines such as Google and Bing.
According to Guardian.co.uk, Murdoch's decision is influenced by his motive of forcing online browsers to have to pay for reading the internet content from his media sources.
The billionaire provided a comment about his opinion in regards to Google, Bing, Ask and other search engines posting links to stories from his media sources, saying, "The people who simply just pick up everything and run with it, steal our stories, we say they steal our stories, they just take them. That's Google, that's Microsoft, that's Ask.com, a whole lot of people. They shouldn't have had it free all the time, and I think we've been asleep."
Google has already come forward and mentioned that the process of having Murdoch's media sources removed permanently from their Google News page is incredibly simple but Murdoch has yet to act on his threats.
Guardian.co.uk is reporting that Murdoch's traditional vision of the journalism field has affected his negative opinion towards online browsers who, courtesy of the World Wide Web, have free access to breaking news stories.
