Shine, the TV production company run by Rupert daughter Elisabeth Murdoch, has announced its 2006 profits: Negative $3.6 million. Okay, the company is worth almost $500 million, so it's not the end of the world. But you would think that her dad could hook up some "synergy" to help her out. Synergy, Rupert! Shine also owns the company that makes the US versions of The Office and Ugly Betty, so they'll probably do better soon. Chin up, moguls! [Guardian UK]
