Translating Murdoch

What Rupert Murdoch said:
“People reading news for free on the Web, that’s got to change.”
What he meant:
"People reading news for free on the Web, that's got to change if I have any chance of salvaging some value from the incredible amount I overpayed for Dow Jones not very long ago. I really screwed up on that one and wasted a lot of investor money. Five billion dollars? Oops."
Nice timing by the Bancrofts. If it were still independent, what would Dow Jones be trading at today?
