News Corp Losing Money (The Onion)
http://www.theonion.com/content/infograph/news_corp_losing_money?utm_source=b-section

Last week, News Corp.—the parent company of Fox News, 20th Century Fox, the Fox Broadcasting Company, the New York Post, and other media properties—reported a fourth-quarter loss of $203 million. Here are some of the factors that led to this financial decline:

*It costs hundreds of thousands of dollars for a trained staff to white-out the O's in all the FX-related mail

*New York Post headline writer really dragged Murdoch over the coals during last round of contract negotiations

*Wall Street Journal printed on uncut sheets of $20 bills for last three months

*St. Louis Fox affiliate not buying break room snacks in bulk

*Rupert Murdoch is still obsessed with inventing an upside-down helicopter

*Last episode of So You Think You Can Dance filmed in space

*Night At The Museum insurance apparently did not cover destroying Smithsonian artifacts

*Not as many people felt like listening to their shit
