1. Calling Greg Palast and other investigative reporters. Is there a connection between Roger Ailes

and Karl Rove? Was Faux News acting on orders from Rove and his department of dirty tricks during the reign of Bush II?

2. Media Matters thinks so, and they want Congress to investigate

And why should we care about what's happening over there?

Simple: Murdoch's media empire includes Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Post. Murdoch has enormous political and cultural influence over our media. In fact, Murdoch's hand-picked selection to run the Wall Street Journal was longtime loyalist Les Hinton, who oversaw News Corp's British newspapers during the height of News of the World's alleged hacking activity. Hinton twice testified to the UK parliament that he had conducted a rigorous inquiry into the papers he oversaw and claimed hacking was limited to one reporter. That's right: Hinton, who ran the show for Murdoch as phone hacking became standard operating procedure, is now publisher of the one of the largest newspapers in the U.S.
