Why Rupert Murdoch Bought MySpace

Robert Young thinks that Rupert Murdoch bought MySpace in an effort to compete with MTV in the new media space. I’m not entirely sure that I buy Young’s argument, but it’s compelling. Short-form programming is definitely here on the broadband Web, and … MySpace certainly has cachet amongst a certain demographic.

Of course, my aching knees remind me that I am not in that demographic.
