Rupert Murdoch’s Got Nothing, Charlie’s Got Nothing, and so do we, sort of. This week we had a great guest planned but due to issues outside of our control he was not able to join and we hope to have him back at a future date. Also, there has been a milk carton campaign started to find Erin, who we are guessing lost power again right during the show. Despite all odds though we still were able to cover a lot of the important issues of the week from Rupert Murdoch’s plan to remove himself from Google to Digg’s new feature that will promote him to the front page faster.. if he let people read his stories.
