And now a watchdog group in Washington is TELLING the FCC that the hacking scandal is enough to revoke News Corps broadcasting license in the states!
News Corp never committed any hacking in the states, so why the hysteria?
My original post on here 18 months ago said this would end with the destruction of NewsCorp and it still will.
Lily livered politicians in the UK on both sides of the house failed to produce a properly damming report from their expensive select committee just the silly line about not being a fit and proper person to run an international company when he has shown so comprehensively that he is just such a man. Having keith Vaz chairing a sleaze committee kind of set the tone for what would happen...so ignore that report;
Leveson is not going to cook his goose either...they have not got the balls. This coming week they have Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks and this will be interesting.They will pile up stuff against Dave as they seem to have been cut adrift and both quite possibly en route to jail in the end along with th American lawyers.
Newsorp can be acted upon purely on what goes down in the UK plus I know of at least one case being brought for hacking in the US by Koo Stark. But its not the hacking that will get Murdoch it will be the bribing and of course the perjury which has yet to come with regard to bungs to the police.Thats what US prosecutors are waiting for...the meaty stuff where nobody can explain who paid who....except that it was huge amounts of money and they all knew,
There seems no stomach to hunt Murdoch down here, yet the opposite will be true in the USA.He can be stripped of everything purely on the basis of behaviour at the NOW. Its the Americans who are going to do this and Newscorp Fox News, National Geographic, Sky ,1001 newspapers across the world...the whole shooting match will plummit unless they get him out of the company and probably on trial with the henchmen.
Throughout history all truly bad and manipulative men have had bad memories for their own disgraceful behaviour and like Murdoch they all have razor sharp recollection when they want to remember some adversory that they now wish to damage.
To have believed the two Murdochs at the Leveson enquiry your brain would need to be 9 parts custard and the tenth part a sort of bygone belief that the Magic Roundabout on tv all those years ago was actually a live documentary.
Real fireworks at Leveson this coming week with appearances by Andy Coulson and Rebekkah Brooks...were the pay offs enough for them to keep their cheddar gorge traps shut ? I think not and (dave) Cameron is in for a real kicking for his involvement with these two lepers of the night.
It ain't over folks and we are too in his pocket over here to be anything but be grovelingly polite in response to Ruperts obsequious behaviour and James well drilled and acting school polished interviews....but count on the US...plenty of takers there and they are going to crush them.Powerful investors have seen and heard enough...Murdoch is on the back foot now.
Final update on his supposed non involvement in his papers..the Sunday Times rich list was published last Sunday and guess who airbrushed his own name and fortune out of the list -having almost shouted his lack of influence on editors?
