News Corp may get paid to take its news websites off Google

Rupert the Pirate wants us to pay to access his sites? Good thing I don't go anywhere near them:

Microsoft Corp has had talks with News Corp about a tie up, which would involve News Corp getting paid to take its news websites off Google Inc, a source familiar with the matter said on Sunday. [...]

News Corp Chief Executive Rupert Murdoch has said he wants to make people pay for access to his news websites. Other publishers including The New York Times are also searching for ways to charge for news online, convinced that they must not give news through search engines such as Google and Yahoo Inc.

I'll miss Frank Rich.
