Let's cut to the chase:

Mr. Murdoch wants to have his cake and eat it too. He wants free traffic from Google, and he wants Google to pay for supplying that traffic.

Is that likely to happen? I'm guessing not. Still, if Mr. Murdoch would like to fly me to his son's $23 million mansion in Australia to discuss the topic, I'd be happy to go along for the ride. :-)
