Information, according to the argument, wants to be free.
From Mr. Murdoch’s perspective, that notion is wrong, and people will pay for their online news. “The argument that information wants to be free is only said by those who want it for free,” he said.

Beats me, but at least it's a rather strange argument. How can information want anything? People want something for information, and different people want different things.

yeah.. but Murdoch is right here. information may want to be free... but those that make the information aren't bound to any laws about sharing it with the public
There's also managed news, manufactured news, spin-doctoring,
and just plain old bullshit going the rounds, so we need to be careful what we accept. How much is real news and how much is filler or just speculation? Who knows for sure?
