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."

256. The point you're all missing is if O.J. did not receive any money from this book he wouldn't be able to keep looking for the REAL KILLERS!!! That takes money folks and we know every cent he has is going to that purpose. :o)

257. Interesting how Fox comes to their senses once they hear the public outrage. What were they thinking when the book was first pitched to them?

Now he has admitted that he was going to give the money to his kids?????In other words f*****k what he owes the Goldmans & the Browns!

OJ is a classic example of a narcissist

258. Fox station stinks all the way around... the only reason they took it off was the outcry from the public. The only reason! Remember they are the one's who set the interview up with OJ. Fair and balanced ... right???? lol I hope they lost money on this one. Fox station is the Bush administrations handy little healper. So if you like Fox you gott love Bush? ICK!!!

259. I Think That O J has a right to write a book just like the rest of the lawyers from the trial no one stopped people from reading or watching them on tv shows if you do not want to read the book donot buy it if you do not want to see the tv show then don't watch it. He was found not guilty of murder were you there did you see him do it. The Browns and Goldmans need to move on with there life,they can't bring ron and nick back the goldmans more so then the browns the browns can still keep in touch with there grandchildern. It happened it's over move on you can't change it. ck
