London police reveals deep Murdoch empire links
By JILL LAWLESS

LONDON (AP) — London's departing police chief revealed Tuesday that 10 of the 45 press officers in his department used to work for News International, but he denied there are any improper links between the force and Rupert Murdoch's media empire.

Paul Stephenson was giving evidence to a committee of lawmakers investigating wrongdoing at the now-shuttered tabloid News of the World, and allegations of bribery and collusion between Murdoch employees and the police.

"I understand that there are 10 members of the (Department of Public Affairs) staff who have worked in News International in the past, in some cases journalists, in some cases undertaking work experience with the organization," he said.

News International is the British newspaper division of Murdoch's global News Corp.

1. What Murdoch does in the UK, he likely does in the USA.
Bribing police...Bribing politicians...Pushing a pro-fascist agenda...
