Some things do not change. One of them is the impossibility of assessing the value of new media acquisitions to old media companies. Another is the inadvisability of mocking a purchase of any description made by Rupert Murdoch.
Yet rather like the New York Times buying About.com for $400m, there is something about News Corp's $580m purchase of Intermix Media which just does not feel right - we are back to the analogy of septuagenarians dancing to Girls Aloud.
