It is no surprise Murdoch has turned 'chicken' in the face of charges to those within News Corp.

...Rupert Murdoch’s resignation (click title to entry - thank you) from the boards of several News Corp. (NWSA) newspapers may seek to reassure investors that the fallout from a U.K. phone-hacking scandal won’t follow them after the company splits into two units....




Run, Rupert, run. You can run, but, you can't hide.


Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson, (click here) former lead editors of the News of the World tabloid in Britain, were among eight of News Corp's ex-journalists charged with hacking into celebrities' voice mail to get stories.
The two former editors of the paper were charged with multiple hacking offenses, including accessing the voice mail of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler in 2002, the Crown Prosecution Service said today....

Rupert is a dishonest dealer of information through his media services. He practices tabloid journalism while trying to elevate the status as a weapon of the 'oppressed.' Give me a break.


News of the World was a century old newsprint when he took control, turned it into a propaganda rag, corrupted its practice and then closed its doors as if he had no clue. Sure, whatever you say Rupert.


Rupert Murdoch is not a saint above all other saints in the media industry elevating the oppressed. He is not and never was a friend to the poor or the Middle Class to 'fight the good fight.' He made a lot of money exploiting the fears and views of these people. He has been an ally to the wealthy the entire time, playing with news to effect markets globally and rolling the dice on the idea of pacifying those fascinated by the bizarre, the gossipy and those seeking power where none exists.


Murdoch has developed a 'code of communication' between his news media service and its audience to control the electorate as they sincerely had a fight in the first place. The montra of News Corp is one of sameness, status quo and unchanging paradigm designed to deliver profits and not freedom. News Corp seeks power brokering to place hapless politicians into office that will deliver a guaranteed outcome to Wall Street. There is nothing noble or necessary about News Corp.


He has been one of the largest brokers of the gun lobby and the NRA of any media organization today.


It didn't take News Corp for the government of the UK to publish responsibly to the public; it took legislation by RESPONSIBLE elected representatives.

Statement from Alison Levitt QC, (click here) Principal Legal Advisor to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP):
This statement is made in the interests of transparency and accountability to explain the decisions reached in relation to Operation Weeting.
During June and July 2012, the Crown Prosecution Service received files of evidence from the Metropolitan Police Service, relating to thirteen suspects. This has followed a period of consultation and cooperation between police and prosecutors which has taken place over many months.
All the evidence has now carefully been considered. Applying the two-stage test in the Code for Crown Prosecutors I have concluded that in relation to eight of these thirteen suspects there is sufficient evidence for there to be a realistic prospect of conviction in relation to one or more offences....
