I suppose it?? a sign of severe geekhood if you walk away from a lengthy interview with Rupert Murdoch thinking about how funny he is. Anyway, he spoke today at the McGraw Hill Media Summit* and it went a little bit like this.

One thing: A Borat sequel pends. UPDATE 2/9: Turns out Rupert got a bit ahead of this one. As this Variety story reports, and a News Corp. spokesman confirms, no deal?? been inked.

(*Obligatory Disclosures: The McGraw Hill Companies, which puts on the Media Summit, is BusinessWeek?? parent company. The gentleman who interviewed Murdoch at the conference, BusinessWeek?? editor-in-chief Stephen J. Adler, is my boss. This last sentence is only here so that this disclosure paragraph is substantially longer than the rest of this post.)
