No Way will I buy Murdoch's ipad app "The Daily"

If it was a totally unbiased news source to go to, would be great with the ipad but it will be no different than faux media or any of Murdoch's rightwing agenda to fight global warming & most everything else I believe in.

The Daily is published as an app for iPads. Subscribers pay by the week or the year.

Rupert Murdoch on Wednesday pushed the send button on The Daily, a news application designed for the iPad that he hopes will position his News Corporation front and center in the digital newsstand of the future.
“New times demand new journalism,” Mr. Murdoch said on stage at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York before an audience of reporters, media executives, employees and advertising partners.
The Daily will be a first of its kind for tablet computers: a general interest publication that will refresh every morning and will bill customers’ credit cards each week for 99 cents or each year for $40.
In journalistic and marketing ambition and scope, The Daily recalls USA Today when it began in 1982: a publication of no city or region that aspires to be a first-read in the homes of millions of Americans despite having no brand recognition.
The Daily takes that same sensibility to the digital age by trying to enliven the printed word with photographs, video and interactive features that work seamlessly together.

1. Neither would I... I was looking a MacRumors.com

Seems it crashes a lot... has more fluff than substance.. will not be economically
viable considering the $30 million start up...... can't multitask when its on... these
are apple users that tried out the free app two week trial.... some on the tread just look at the tech of the app not the politics most on the forum hate Murdoch

I do wish someone would give me an iPad though, my iTouch is great but I need a bigger screen
at my age.
