Will Rupert Murdoch Block Rotten Tomatoes?

There has been a lot of commentary today about News Corp. boss Rupert Murdoch's below that he will have his minions issue block search crawlers. (In fact, Google News counts 190 stories on the matter and counting.)

Murdoch specifies that he wants to block Google in particular. Murdoch explains that he would rather have fewer paying coming to the WSJ.com so long as they are paying. Techcrunch points out that the WSJ.com would lose half of its audience with this policy.

Surely there are Web managers around the News Corp. empire who are in hiding over this news. News Corp.-owned Rotten Tomatoes is a particular problem. The site does for movies what Google News does for news. Its tomato-tomato.
