Michael Wolff on MySpace and Why Rupert Murdoch Loves 'Cretins'

So Michael Wolff’s long-awaited bio of Rupert Murdoch, The Man Who Owns The News, hit shelves yesterday. Portfolio has a round-up reactions (the Times did not love). Over at BusinessWeek Jon Fine says that “Wolff’s Murdoch mumbles, dissembles, has cultural sensibilities predating Elvis Presley if not Rudy Vallee.” Fine separately posted some of his conversation with Wolff, in which they argue about the viability of News Corp-owned MySpace. Apparently they are scared of Facebook! (Also, who knew sex chat rooms were the secret of AOL’s success!)
