News Corp Smells Profit In Gay Wedding Business

While the hacks over at FOX News are busy attacking everything in sight with regards to same-sex marriage, News Corp smells profits. In fact, the embattled news corporation is planning on publishing WEDDING Pride, a high-end glossy which will feature “editorial content that celebrates the Gay Community and its recent achievement.” This just shows that, if Rupert Murdoch could make a buck digging up his late mother and selling her as a road side attraction, he would.

Queerty reports that:

Launching in September, the mag (produced by News Corp’s Community Newspaper Group subsidiary) will have an initial distribution of 35,000 among “the traditional as well as the newer gay and gay friendly communities within the Tri-State area.” (Translation: Chelsea, Park Slope, Fire Island, Montclair, South Orange, Asbury Park.)

A 14 June editorial in the New York Post just underlines the problems that News Corp has with marriage equality. They wrote “There is no denying that same-sex marriage could become law this year. This reflects a seismic shift in society’s attitudes on the issue and a growing acceptance of gays in general. Still, the question is vexing. But if we had a vote, it would be no. Marriage as an institution has fallen on hard times in recent years. But that’s no excuse for weakening it further.”

News Corp has shown lately that they will do anything for a buck. They will hack into people’s phones and emails. They will have hack journalists spewing the most vile crap imaginable. They will back the notion that a default on the national debt is a good idea while also saying that they support the gutting of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. They ignored the racist, homophobic, misogynistic and down right dangerous rhetoric of Glenn Beck because he made money.

News Corp shows that Greed Is God every day.
