Rupert Murdoch was forced to stop his number one paper in London, The News of The World. It was a 33 billion dollar paper. It was brought down by criminal offensive by it's reporters. Making up stories, paying people to lie, and all around untrue tales. Man could fox noise be next.

It had to do with them hacking into voice mail systems from the British Royalty, to this 13 year old girl that was killed. US tabloids are mild in comparison to the British tabloids. Those people go to excessive extremes to find dirt on people. TMZ is nothing but a bunch of loser paparazzi's. Personally, I think they should allow these celebrities to grab their camera's and smash them anytime they stick them in their face.

I agree full heatedly! No ones personal life is worth that. They do their "jobs", they should be left alone after that.

Dan Rather's still blathering about along with his former network. Lies and trying to influence an election.

Way to skip the facts on what happenned......and to imply this was a true news style organization instead of a tabloid......

Fox News viewership goes up every time the unhinged left launches an attack on them. Ruppert owns a lot of different businesses that have nothing to do with FNC. The liberal New York Post newspaper being one of them. The man is more about money than ideology.

I just looked over every single article on the front page of www.foxnews.com and suprisingly I couldn't find one mention of the "News of the World" scandal. Go figure

It is in their business section, just like cnn and msnnbc as well. It isn't on their front page either. Do you really classify this as front page news with everything else of in terest going on in this country and in the world?
Dude, I know stretching prevents cramps, but come on.

Yeah, ABC has really been pushing the story but nobody else I have seen. In the bigger scheme of things it just isn't that big a deal.

A company owned by one of the biggest media power players in the history of the world has some of his employees illegally tapping phones of everyone from royalty to murder victims. I'm not saying that's like the second coming of Christ, but it is a pretty big deal.
Can you imagine if the New York Times or MSNBC was caught doing the same thing?

Actually I know quite a bit of what's going on in Greece, but that's neither here nor there. The reason it's still a big deal here is because of Rupert Murdoch. He obviously has vested interests in the States... not just 'cross the pond.

The times has been caught doing bigger and worse things. I'd say making up stories is a pretty serious offense, If there was a pattern of this happening across Newscorp companies then I'd say it was a big deal.

Do you really think uncle Rupi has a hands on position with any of his companies? His one son MIGHT take heat over this.

I would agree with that. Also since it is only occurring in europe, I would place more blame on the european management.
If an employe of yours spit and defacated in all the cupcakes they made, does this mean this is a practice you condone or support as the store owner?

The head of the FCC today said he wasn't getting involved in this. I am sure the groans from parent's basements could be heard across the land.
