So, is Murduch buying the Wall Street Journal going to put an end to impartial journalism at the WSJ? When AOL bought Time Warner I was in the market for a new job. I used to work for HBO in Hungary back in the early 90s. I had the urge to go back and work for them when I came to New York. Now, that urge vanished when I heard of the AOL merger. Since I was still in the middle of interviewing, I ended up applying for a Quark teaching position (?) at Time, and the HR person listed a free AOL dial-up account as a freebie, if I work there. Boy, I already had cable! If that was the added value to the job, who know what the company is all about…
