Authored by Jay Baage on November 21, 2006 - 10:08am.
Everyone knows that News Corp. Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch is not the type of person to back down from a controversial subject, especially if it will make him and his company a lot of money. That is why it’s interesting to note that News Corp. has canceled the planned publication of the O.J. Simpson book, If I Did It, due to be published on its subsidiary Regan Books, as well as a two-part TV interview of Simpson, which was scheduled to air on Fox on Nov. 27 and 29. In the book and in the interview, Simpson was to discuss how he, hypothetically, would have killed his wife, Nicole Brown-Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman, if he had done it, of course.
