First came the thrilling news no more trademark engraving illustration in lieu of a more "USA Today" look. Now it will be no more than an arm of Fox news. Gail Wynand couldn't shine a light on RuMur.

Can you please tell me where they announced no more engravings? That is dreadful. (I subscribe to the WSJ.)

Yes, Rupert has come a long way from the days when he'd rough up (with brass knuckles and kicks) the employees of rival publishers that competed with his dad's newspaper.

Yes, nice that he has forsaken his old ways. He was probably rehabilitated by some Liberal that he didn't even thank
