Besides providing fodder for the late night television shows, nothing good could have come from the book by O.J. Simpson, titled “If I Did It”, nor from the related television show that was to air on Fox. Faced with incredible outrage over the project, News Corporation chairman Rupert Murdoch announced today that both book and TV show are canceled:
“I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project,” Mr. Murdoch said in a statement. “We are sorry for any pain this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown-Simpson.”
If O.J. Simpson really wanted to confess, why not just come out and say so? There’s no need to make a mockery of the legal system and drudge up old wounds in the process. I applaud Fox for choosing decency over profits. I’m all for free speech, but there’s no need for anyone to profit from Simpson’s pseudo-confession.
