Quote of the day: Rupert's surprise

6:38pm

Michael Wolff on how Rupert Murdoch discovered there was more to Dow Jones than just the WSJ:

I don't believe he had any idea there was an enterprise side of the business. I believe I was the one to explain Factiva to him. He wanted the newspaper. The fact that after he bought the newspaper he found himself with these rather successful businesses was I think surprising to him. I think he was pleased.
