The MySpace News site has apparently been confirmed in leaked Fox Interactive Media sales documents, including screenshots, about the MySpace news-aggregation service, Wired writes.

The site, reportedly to launch later this year, will automatically collect news items from various news sites and blogs. MySpace users will then be able to rate and comment on each story the site publishes, and the stories will change position on the page based on popularity.

In 2006, News. Corp purchased news aggregation company Newroo, and recently listed a job opening for a software engineer for the company. That has led to speculation that News Corp. is beginning to hire the staff necessary to build the code that will power the portal's back end.
