The Silent Majority
What can one add to this, from Harry's Place?:
Oliver Kamm has commented that his blog at The Times will also be behind the pay wall. ... His blog will also not be read by the majority of users of the Internet around the world.
Anonymous, looks like I was right, or might as well have been. Even he himself does not expect anyone at all to pay to read him, and it turns out that most of the people who did so for free were his laughing enemies. His days as an expense to the Sun, the News of the World and Sky Sports are coming to an end.
Will, not for much longer. First, they put themselves in the position of facing George Galloway in the libel courts. Don't do that. Just don't. And now, no more Kamm.
No one will even notice when he just fades away. A pity, because I do so enjoy pointing out that he is a financial dependent of the Sun, the News of the World and Sky Sports. We can but weep for him over here in the profitable media. Please avail yourself of the PayPal button on this blog. People do, you know.
I couldn't care less if he lived or died, still less if he were sacked by Murdoch's Folly. I only feel for his poor, soon-to-be-deprived readers, comprising as they do "the majority of users of the Internet around the world".
Is that the guy you said was virtually blacklisted by the media?

ReplyDeleteWhen do you predict he'll be sacked?

ReplyDeleteSo you've changed your mind and don't any longer predict that he'll be sacked?
