DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE - NOW OWNED BY MURDOCH

Having admitted a while ago that he'd mucked up his whole internet strategy, Rupert Murdoch is now rushing to catch up, shovelling cash into the owners of Intermix. In other words, MySpace is now part of the Fox-Sun axis, and all those left-field acts who use the place to host their samples and blogs on the site's pretty-decent music area are now going to be generating revenues for the big guy.

We're not quite sure why Murdoch has been so keen to get into blogs - poorly expressed opinions presented as fact, half-researched rumour dressed up as journalism: doesn't his entire media empire do this anyway?
