The project was a horrendous idea, Judith Regan suffers from grandomania if she expects anyone to believe her statement detailing why she did it, and the whole sordid thing stained many people before before meeting its inglorious end.

Eat the Press has the best postmortem, with lots of links.

That said: I bet the project would have flown in Britain. The American public, however, is Puritanical. I see many critics of the Simpson project demanding “accountability” from those who dared perpetrate it on the public. Criticism turned to hysterical demagoguery at warp speed.
Rupert Murdoch may have just discovered the limits of our tolerance.

Or maybe we’re just being inoculated against worst worse to come. The callousness of this culture is mind-blowing.
