"This is a perfect example of the press release being passed off as
journalism, the kind of journalism characteristic of the Crime
Family's administration. In another era, we would be told the terms
and the amount of the settlement. Here we get an air-kiss write-off.
Will she continue to do Kerik? Am surprised HuffPo would waste space
with this absence of narrative but then this is a time when Mary Kate
is named First Responder of the Year!"
News Corp. And Judith Regan Settle Lawsuit About Protecting Giuliani

Judith Regan Waited Too Long
http://gawker.com/5002575/judith-regan-waited-too-long
Judith Regan, the maverick publisher fired from Rupert Murdoch's News
Corporation after she pressed ahead with a book by O.J. Simpson, has
settled with her former employer. Regan is not an anti-Semite; Murdoch
henchman, Roger Ailes, did not pressure her to keep quiet about her
former lover, dodgy Giuliani aide Bernie Kerik; and O.J. is not
guilty. Whatever. The only question: how much did Rupert Murdoch pay
to make the increasingly deranged Regan Books founder shut up? Answer:
not as much as she would would have received before the primaries
began. Rudy Giuliani's campaign is faltering and, with it, Regan's
leverage. It's moot whether Fox News creator and former Nixon aide,
Ailes, pressured Regan to save the Giuliani's presidential bid. It's
now beyond saving. (By the way, any confirmation of the FBI's
attempted raid on Regan, earlier this week? A denial will do, too.)
