“Murdoch paid too much for the Wall Street Journal even when he didn’t have any competition,” he said.
“The reason we have not gone to newspapers is because its a slow growth industry and I think they are dying. I’m not sure there will be newspapers in 10 years. I read newspapers every day. I even read Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal.”
