Faux news being held accountable is just the beginning of massive worldwide change
as evidenced by revolutions in Egypt and other places that are done with criminal banking interesting ruining their countries. There are always numerous events that lead up to historical changes, the events pile up until the breaking point is reached and this faux news "scandal" is one such event. It's coming to the U.S., the breaking point that is. We'll all see just how that plays out.

2. Fox News will NEVER be held accountable
unless you're talking about some privately-run guillotines being rolled out. There is abolustely zero chance that they will face any legal repercussions here. Let me set you straight:

they run this hell-hole

3. Fox News is in no way being held accountable, nor will they
be. Not in this country. You may not be aware that the UK does not have an equivalent to our First Amendment. That Amendment pretty much assures that Fox News will be able to broadcast its swill unhampered. The leadership of the company may change, and many people may lose their jobs, but Fox News will continue to pump noxious crap into people's homes.

4. That's a bit much
I don't know how much banking has played in part in the Arab spring, but I don't think a whole lot. Seems to be more about authoritarian political systems and democracy. And so far the phone hacking scandal hasn't yet jumped the pond. If it does, Fox won't go under, but will probably continue much as as it had before.

Fox may be the top rated cable news network, but that's still not saying a whole lot. It has a lot of followers and a lot of people who hate it, but even if you add all of them up, you still don't have all that many people. Not a lot of people in the US give a shit about the Murdoch scandal right now. It will take a lot more for it to be a big deal here.

5. You're kidding right?
This morning was the beginning of a whitewash... and that's the only reason King here in the states wants a congressional inquiry...to whitewash it.
