Murdoch is a genius, love fox or hate it, and with him owning IGN entertainment, which is a huge niche cash crop, I see this stock going nowhere but up in the long run.

An officer of the company just bought nearly a million dollars worth of stock on 9/11. This is really a bet that advertising and big media aren't dead.
