    This was on the mediaGuardian web site - one of his 'stab;e'just shows how much he is committed having papers - regardless of the price


    "In the 12 months ending in June 2002, Times Newspapers lost £16.3m. This grew to £28.7m the following year, £40.1m in 2004 and £46.9m in 2005.

    The company has lost £212m in the five-year period from July 2001 to June 2006"

    Murdoch, like O'Reilly, isn't committed to having papers, he's committed to blocking out his competitors wherever possible. If that means making a loss, so be it - he makes more than enough from the other subsidaries to make that insigificant.
