It has finally jumped the pond-Calls for investigating Murdoch's US News holdings for phone hacking
Edited on Thu Jul-07-11 10:01 PM by Snoutport
The first article I have seen in mainstream media questioning if Murdoch's American holdings will be hurt by the phone hacking scandal and calls for his US holdings to be investigated:
Murdoch under pressure to contain phone hacking scandal within the UK
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jul/07/murdoch-phone-hacking-scandal-us?intcmp=239

Considering that Murdoch's News Corp's stocks dropped $600 million dollars in value this week (That's almost a billion dollars!) I would say, yes, there is some impact.

Now comes the best part of all of this as FOX goes under the microscope.

:0) Y'all realize how damaged the right wing will be if Murdoch's news empire gets the stuffing kicked out of it, don'tcha?

3. Here's hoping the right wing gets damaged.
They and Murdoch have done enough damage to the world.

6. Do you think Rebekah Brooks will sing?

8. Murdoch employees who take the rap seem to get a lot of money when they get out of jail
She seems a pretty cool one...it is hard to imagine her turning...BUT...they will turn on her.
