NWS has a too high valuation compared to its sales potential. It is also loss making with a negative operating margin due to booking unusual expenses in the last three quarters. Its stock price may decrease by a third.

You cannot "charge" for these "websites," Rupert. You have to "monetize" them in different ways.
Shame about the WSJ. Time was, you could go to it as the world's number 1 source for financial news. Now it's gone to the dogs, and the #1 source for financial news is Cramer.

Facebook continues to dominate the social networking space and that is bad news for NWS. My guess is that 10 years from now, we won't even remember MySpace!

This stock is getting alot of bad press. Being the parent company of FoxNews(unbalanced and unfair) is really hurting them.

I have faith that the Ron Paul supporters will effectively drag this stock below the 52 week low of 19.71. I expect most shorts are set at a paltry 19.50 or lower.

FOX News Corp Stock Taking a Beating for Slighting Ron Paul by excluding him from the NH Debates.
From the 3 day totals it looks like FOX News parent company symbol (NWS) it taking a beating. Will it continue as the Boycott and stock dump continues from the Paul camp.
I predict that the numbers will continue in their current downward trend in the days and weeks ahead as the Ron Paul campaign with its huge grass roots engine rolling along will in the end steam roll the parent company of Fox news in stock value with their efforts. This will be in addition to the thousands of faxes, emails, phone calls and other such activist efforts on the part of the grass roots for Ron Paul.
This is fair compensation to Fox in my opinion for their slighting of Ron Paul by not inviting him to the Jan 6th forum sponsored in part by the New Hampshire Republican Party and Fox News.
From what I have read of the boycott effort it will include all advertisers that are currently sponsors of Fox news as well as encouraging the sell off of NWS stock for the forseable furture. The stock was kind of a dog from what I have seen so this is not going to help the situation for certain.
Fox has been most biased and unfair to Ron Paul and that is quite clear. This might be a further lesson for Fox News in what Dr. Paul referenced in that now famous first Fox Republican debate as what the CIA teaches and talks about. Blowback. I think he called that one. I hope that holders of NWS are short calling their holdings at about $18 that would be my bet.

Mainstream Media giant struggles to adapt to changing public sentiment. The Ron Paul Revolution is endearing to millions of liberty-minded individuals that are fed up with the authoritarian/fascist neoconservative movement. News Corp's Fox News will decline in viewership as their cacophony of neocon stooges continue to spout the tiring rhetoric of fearmongering war propaganda.
This decline in Fox News market share would have likely been a slow descent were it not for Fox's decision to exclude Ron Paul from an upcoming New Hampshire forum. Fergus Cullen of the NH GOP said the decision to exclude Ron Paul was Fox's, and the NH GOP wants all candidates included. Fox based their decision to exclude Ron Paul based on poll numbers, even though the polls show Ron Paul leading Fred Thompson who was invited to attend. Fox's decision to exclude is also curious as Ron Paul's 19.5 million in 4th quarter fundraising is unrivaled on the GOP side and in league with Hillary Clinton.
Fox is having a hard time justifying their decision to exclude Ron Paul from the debates, and it is helping many to see through Fox's so-called "Fair and Balanced" smokescreen for what is really a propaganda mouthpiece for the neoconservative movement. Fox is also being exposed for Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes support for Hillary Clinton.
Fox's decision to ally itself firmly with the pro-war neocons is a double-edged sword. Its viewership is directly correlated with support for the Iraq war and fear of islamofascism. This was a boon for Fox in the build up to the Iraq war and post-911 environment of fear. However, as more and more Americans become opposed to the war and see it as a mistake, this will hurt viewership and ultimately advertising revenue for the network, since it is unlikely to change course with respect to its programming.

MySpace has another year left. Fox will last forever, but investors associate NWS with MySpace too strongly. So, sometime in the next year, there will be a bunch of articles about how MySpace has fewer new users, and the stock will tank. I believe in NWS, but it needs to stop being just

Of all the reasons to be leery of the News Corp juggernaut, the MySpace purchase is what really did it for me. Anyone remember Friendster? I know MySpace is the hottest thing out there right now, but all trends -- particularly those dependent upon fourteen-year-olds -- have a life span, and when this one ends, I can't see a way for News Corp to emerge unscathed.
