Edward Wasserman says
Rupert Murdoch's move to take over Dow Jones "has done little more than raise a few eyebrows" in the media pundits club. "With some brave exceptions --
Tim Rutten at the Los Angeles Times and
Jack Shafer at Slate among them -- most commentators say Murdoch is a canny old bird who won't do too much harm, since he knows better than to soil the franchise he's offered the owning family a fortune to buy." Would Murdoch really try to use the Wall Street Journal as a tool in his quest for industrial supremacy? "Unquestionably."
