Murdoch thought he was completely untouchable and just did whatever the fuck he wanted.

A more fitting or deserved comeuppance is hard to imagine..

Fox Network News then I will believe he is in trouble.

Hope Faux Snooze goes with it.

Ta-ta!

and that idiots like Megan Kelly find herself on the unemployment lines, and unable to get a job.

Steve Doocey, finds he has to have his house forcelosed on him.

Sean and Bill0 find their boats reposesed.

I can dream, can't I?

it would be great to have some of those stuffed up assholes feel some economic pain and fear.

it will be liked better dead than alive

Would love to be a fly on the wall at Fox Snooze. They must be having fits about this.

But Murdoch and his cancerous empire are far too heavily embedded in the United States, especially in the body politic. While there are plenty of competitors and adversaries in Britain to Murdoch, the clubby nature of the major media will cause them to close ranks in favor of one of their own. Every contention, every fact, every conclusion, will be dissected, challenged, and examined with an obsessive attention to detail. Any anomalies, contradictions, hinky appearances or less than rock solid facts will be brandished as evidence that evil forces (defined as liberals or worse) are just out to get poor Mr. Murdoch, and that it's all a great big lie!

We should fully expect this kind of petulant whining from the minions at Fox; what will be most dismaying will be the way other media outlets join in, trying to distract and deflect the damning details, whilst propping up one of the most corrupting influences in our society. In addition, there will be an endless parade of politicians posturing for the cameras, in high dudgeon about the scurrilous facts being used to support baseless (except for reality) charges against poor Mr. Murdoch and his beleaguered media empire.

Look for this to get zero traction and no oxygen whatever from the U.S. media, because our somnambulent bulldogs of the Fourth Estate are more afraid of Murdoch (toothless and impotent though he is) than they are loyal to the truth.

Couldn't have said it better myself...well actually..couldn't say it at all...but glad you did!

Murdoch has made some bitter enemies - and some powerful ones. I agree that they will stand by him for a while, but if it looks like he's going to go down in flames, they won't hesitate to help add fuel to the fire.

The Tories took a horrible walloping in the recent by-elections and defending Murdoch ain't gonna help him repair the austerity-blackened Tory image if such is even possible.

but I fear you may be right

One of the foulest, most morally bankrupt people on the face of the Earth. I sincerely hope this puts Newscorp in the grave, and Murdoch in the one right next to it. May he go down which his ship.

Let him and all the Murdochs go down with that ship. All of them are morally bankrupt. Roger Ailes is also a morally bankrupt slug who should go to the bottom of the sea with them.

The news corporation's hold on British media has been broken? Murdoch no longer has control of the corporation and its holdings in the UK?

Color me skeptical. And even more skeptical that even if somehow his holdings in the UK all crash and burn, even if they were to issue an order to send him straight to jail, and even if Australia were to follow suite, that it would change anything in the US. Or that our government would allow him to be taken off to jail. Ever. Anywhere.

crowing over the death of the Murdoch empire. And a good number of the responses sure look to be doing the same. Which still seems fairly premature to me. I hope to be disappointed in my cynicism. The whole thing has gone far further and lasted longer than I expected it too already.

. . . afeckin' Irish wake.

had wormed their way through the government in Britain - I hope when Murdoch falls - he takes the whole stinking lot with him. And then I hope it comes over here and does the same.

Murdock's blood is in the water and the pols sense a chance to rid themselves of him.

SO many criminal corporations out there that deserve the exact same treatment.

that should go out dancing a jig like Julius Streicher.

I fail to see how Murdoch and his empire is falling apart in America, for one big reason.

Murdoch violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, with the bribes News Corp. paid to cover up the phone hacking scandal in the UK. Yet Murdoch, a US citizen, STILL hasn't been charged criminally for this, nor has News Corp, or anyone else in News Corp (by the US).

Compare that to Wal-Mart, recently in the news for bribing Mexican officials, and possibly others in other countries. There's criminal investigations by the DOJ against not just Wal-Mart, but over half a dozen top Wal-Mart executives to, who could very well end up going to jail over the bribes they paid.

Murdoch and his News Corp still has a strangle hold over politicians and the news in the US, Wal-Mart however already had a soiled reputation and didn't have enough good will or political influence to protect itself and it's executives from charges for violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

And those bribes have been known about for over a year now, so no, it's not likely that they're still studying the situation and considering charges.

Me happy

When that changes...well then we'll have some progress.
