CANCEL THE JUICE

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

Murdoch canceled the 2 part FOX TV special “If I Did It” with Judith Regan interviewing OJ Simpson about his book that is to be released at the end of the month. The interview and the book has Simpson explaining, hypothetically, how would have killed his ex-wife and her friend back in 1994.

Several Fox affiliates had already said they would not air the two-part sweeps month special, planned for next week before the Nov. 30 publication of the book by ReganBooks. The publishing house is a HarperCollins imprint owned - like the Fox network - by News Corp.

"If I Did It" cracked the top 20 of Amazon.com last weekend, but by this afternoon, at the time its cancellation had been announced, the book had fallen to No. 51. Amazon now lists the publication as “canceled”
