This shows that while News Corp. will leverage cross-company synergies, they won’t spit in the face of their audience, either.

Translation: Rupert Murdoch is not crazy.  Personally, what I would have liked to see would be for MySpace to partner with NBC (which they did here) but also feature content balancing NBC’s tone and views from FOX News.  Hey, isn’t social media all about the conversation?

I’m just asking…

Anyway, lost in this is the fact that MSNBC bought NewsVine… where is that in the mix?
