"[News Corp] should be looking at this as an opportunity to try something radically different and find out a way to make a ton of money from being radically open rather than some money from being ridiculously closed."
So although we've been reading news for free online for the past 13 years, that's merely giving it away for free; the blats should take that to a higher level.
Another way to look it is that Murdoch has built a global media empire out of pretty much nothing. Cynical old schemer he may be, but if he can't turn a dollar out of free news, who can?
