Murdoch Scandal

Murdoch Scandal

Postby bigbadberry3 » Tue Jul 19, 2011 8:55 am


Will it have implications in the US?

I think it will be uncovered in a manner that parallels the corrupt British Police role, and that in the US primarily tactics were aimed at politicians and celebs.

I do find it suspicious that the whistle blower was already found dead.....

Also, I laughed when I finally saw it being covered by Foxnews :rotfl

Too many people have been bought off; too much in the way of power and rights have been taken away from the citizens of this country for it to have a huge impact here. It will be business as usual in the U.S. This is, however, another example of the lack of true freedom of the press here. The coverage is allowed only to the extent and manner that the corporate offices want it to be.

One thought that crossed my mind since I don't watch him: as critical as he has been of Murdoch I imagine Keith Olbermann must be having a field day with this story.

Last nights O'Reilly didn't even mention it.

What story did Fox deem important?
Jane Fonda

At least the story is being reported on elsewhere
