2. I guess I am jaded
but I am still having trouble imagining Murdoch getting in any trouble in the US. I suppose I imagine the Republicans and their rich allies to be so powerful that he's untouchable here. Not that I won't be happy if it happens, I just can't imagine a crook like him getting in trouble in the US.

slim chances that our justice system will provide anything like justice for americans.

7. Same here.
My attitude towards this story has really highlighted my lack of faith in the United States. I can't see anything being done to him here.
