      Daily News Owner Makes Newsday Bid

      Daily News owner Mort Zuckerman has matched Rupert Murdoch's bid for Newsday , the New York Times reports—but didn't go a penny over the $580 million the New York Post owner offered. Instead Zuckerman claimed his bid is the better one because, unlike Murdoch's, it doesn't run the risk of running into an FCC tripwire. More »

      Murdoch Calls FCC Bluff With Newsday Move

      Rupert Murdoch is betting new federal standards limiting media ownership to one TV station and one newspaper (per market) won't keep him from buying a fifth New York outlet. The mogul has long held waivers to control media in excess of the rules, and he doesn't think recent enforcement pledges will stop him from winning permission to own Newsday , the Times reports.

      Murdoch Shuts Down PageSix.com

      PageSix.com, the online version of the New York Post 's celebrity gossip column, is shutting down after just three months, Gawker reports. The Rupert Murdoch project attracted 1 million pageviews last week when it published photos of Eliot Spitzer's escort, but, "given the difficulty in the economy, it was not the right time for this launch," said one manager.

      Post Slams Hillary in Backing Obama

      The New York Post today endorsed Barack Obama in Tuesday's Democratic primary, but devoted most of its space to railing against “the opportunistic, scandal-scarred, morally muddled” Clinton couple. Words like “thuggish,” “cynical,” and, of course, “triangulating,” flew in the right-wing tabloid. Only a few column inches were saved to argue that Obama, though short on “seasoning,” has “the ability to inspire.”  More »

      Better 1st Kid: Chelsea or Jenna?

      Conventional wisdom that puts Chelsea Clinton at the front of the class and Jenna Bush at the back is undergoing a makeover, as the current first daughter charms in public life while her predecessor hits the upper-crust party scene. The “closer I look, the more I like Jenna,” writes the New Republic ’s T.A. Frank, and “the less I like Chelsea.” More »

      The New York Post decorated its cover with a photo of Yankees superstar Alex Rodriguez and an unidentified blonde woman they allege he took out for dinner at a steakhouse; the two then proceeded to a strip club. Rodriguez is married with a child, and his wife appeared with him in the 2004 Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. More »

      Page Six Fallout May Hurt Murdoch

      Shenanigans at the New York Post may mean trouble for Rupert Murdoch's Dow Jones bid, David Carr writes in today's Times. The tales of sex, lies, and bribery spicing up Page Six are normal fare for the gossip standby, but the fact that they're about the Post itself may not sit well with the owners of the Wall Street Journal.
