Google Deal Will Give News Corp. Huge Payoff - New York Times

But where's the part in this story about adding real value for customers? 

“In one fell swoop, we have paid for two-thirds of our Internet acquisitions,” Peter Chernin, the company’s president, said in a conference call with investors and reporters yesterday.

The News Corporation paid $649 million last year to buy the parent company of MySpace. It has now spent a total of $1.3 billion to buy Internet companies that also include IGN.com, a game site, and Scout, a series of local sports sites.
