Cancelled

Rupert Murdoch kills O.J. Simpson’s book and Fox TV interview too. From the LAT:

The decision meant that hundreds of thousands of copies of the Simpson book stored in warehouses soon would be destroyed, according to a News Corp spokesman. Standard industry practice dictates that the copies would be pulped, booksellers would be refunded any orders and the writer — whose identity is still a mystery — would have to pay back the book advance. Simpson reportedly received $3.5 million for his book project.

“There were some books that already had been sent to bookstores, and they are being recalled,” said Andrew Butcher, News Corp. spokesman. “The books will be recycled.”
