"My worry about the New York Times is that it's got the only position as a national elitist general-interest paper. So the network news picks up its cues from the Times. And local papers do too. It has a huge influence. And we'd love to challenge it"

Rupert Murdoch is revealing worry concerning the impact of the New York Times. He thinks that the Times has a monopoly on the nationwide news market, and that other information electrical outlets take their hints from the Times. This means that the Times has a substantial impact on the information that individuals eat. Murdoch would like to test this influence by supplying a different resource of information. He thinks that this would develop an extra diverse as well as well balanced information landscape. He is fretted that the Times' impact is undue and that it is not being tested.
