Rupert Murdoch just wet his pants.... [View All]

If you've missed the UK news Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp wing (which owns a good chunk of the British media) has been caught hacking into the phones of British people and using the info to undermine any liberal opponents. Murdoch's minions have stayed quiet and tried to kill the story. One way they tried to kill it was to say that all of their emails from the hacking time period were lost.

Well...not so lost...copies of the emails surfaced, millions of emails...and a judge just ruled for "rolling disclosure" for the emails. Basically everyone suing Newscorp et al gets a copy of the emails.

Up to 4000 people were hacked by this ONE hired Newscorp investigator but most of proof they had up until now was that he was mostly acting alone and Newscorp branded him a rogue acting alone. These emails most likely contain multiple references to hacking and will surely blow Murdoch's case wide open.

So far they've settled the first lawsuits out of court for around a million bucks a piece. If 4000 hackees sue...imagine how much damage Murdoch's empire, including FOX, might take. Who knows, some of these Emails might contain information that AMerican Newscorp employees were also hacking phones here in the states.

Enjoy the article!! Good news for everyone but Murdoch.
