Because many Fox affiliates said they wouldn’t air the interview and a lot of bookstores said they wouldn’t carry the book or would donate the profits to women’s charities rather than touch the dirty money, If I Did It, Here’s How It Happened, the interview with and book by OJ Simpson, both limning how he might have gone about murdering his wife and her friend, have been canceled from on high. Says News Corp’s chairman, Rupert Murdoch, who heads up both Fox and HarperCollins, of which If I Did It‘s ReganBooks is an imprint: “I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project. We are sorry for any pain that this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson.” We’ll have to wait for the leaks. (Source)
