“These questions came to mind when I read How Murdoch Can Really
Hurt Google And Shift The Balance Of Power In Search in TechCrunch
recently. In that piece Mike Arrington supported Jason Calacanis’
suggestion that Murdoch stick it to Google by cutting an exclusive
search deal with rival search engine Bing. Even Jay Rosen took the
same side. (Though perhaps in jest.)“Find more background at TechCrunch, from Dan Kennedy and in
this New York Times piece, which makes the necessary distinction
between wars among businesses on one hand, and what’s good for the
Net on the other. On the matter of the latter, the Times sources
Craig Newmark, but still frames Craig’s remarks in support of
Google’s side. In other words, the Times is still covering vendor
sports here.”
