I also went to the Herald Sun, the News paper in Melbourne. Nothing 
on any headline. When I searched on Murdoch in that paper, I received 
a search result for a story from News in general and a url for The Australian.

Not one of the 79 comments to the news.com article supports this, of 
course. Several said it would no longer be their homepage. Lots of 
alternate URLs provided. Just means more hits on the free sites for 
the advertisers to get. Maybe Rupert just wants out of the online 
game altogether. But we know what happens then. His income will then 
be from TV/satellite. His print newspapers are already dying.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
