FOX Cuts and Runs on OJ

Posted Nov 20th 2006 3:45PM by TMZ Staff

OJ SimpsonCommon sense and good taste seem to have prevailed: FOX has decided to pull the plug on both its planned OJ Simpson book and television interview special, "O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened."

Good.

News Corporation Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch said today, "I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project. We are sorry for any pain this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown-Simpson."

5. GOOD!!

This would have been in extremely bad taste. Although I have to admit, I was curious to see what O.J. had to say, only to see what's in that sick mind of his.

The families of the victims have suffered enough. No need to rehash this, and bring them more pain.

6. when your own resident "moral offender" Bill O'Reilly beaks off that he will boycott the show and the sponsors there is no ground left to stand on. Where is Jack Ruby when you need him.

8. My nephew, Matthew, was murdered in cold blood and his killers and OJ will go to hell...the sooner the better. Do not buy OJ's book. He's a killer and an asshole.

11. you would think someone at fox would have figured this was an ill conceived idea. too bad oj and fox just got publicity out of the whole ordeal. they should have a new fox show. something like OJ vs. a great white. Now, i WOULD watch that.

15. Why do you put picture of a black-man and make him look crazy. OJ was found innocent and because of the racist media they have denied him of his rights. It doesn't matter, his book will sell very well , in-spite of your racist campaign.
