FoxNews to own The WSJ?

OK... not FoxNews but NewsCorp (www.newscorp.com), Rupert Murdoc's baby which owns Fox and all things Fox related, plus MySpace. NewsCorp is making a bid for Dow Jones & Co, which owns the WSJ.

The WSJ, though very capitalist oriented, still seems to have a pretty left leaning editorial board as shown by a video posted here on Blogust at some point.

If Murdoc gets to buy Dow Jones & Co., I'm sure a change in tone may start coming from the WSJ. It might start with some of the editorial board getting released, and I'm sure they'd find home at the NYT.

It would be very interesting (and fun) if the two big papers coming out of New York started a little point-of-view war.

Here's the link.
