I'm still waiting to see how deeply this goes into our own media and political/legal systems.

DOJ and the SEC have been pretty quiet about this lately.

Mr. Murdock, did testify before the British Parliament, that he knew nothing about all this illegal activity, his son was involved,it was discussed at board meetings, he was sent memo's, it was so wide spread that the Janitor knew about it; who are we to believe Mr. Murdock or the facts.

It is hard to believe that this wasn't going on in America. Ruppert's empire doesn't acknowledge borders. Nor ethics. Nor the law. He is his own law.

Don't hold your breath. The rich ALWAYS get a pass.

If this comes to America in even the "lightest of offenses", it will immediately fall under the Foreign Corrupt Practises Act. Thus ending EVERY Murdoch related news media outlet in the US in pretty short order. Newspapers, magazines, websites, and television and cable. Everything.

The FBI has also been pretty quiet about this. Roger Ailes must be quaking in his shoes right about now, given his close affiliations to the White House and congress over the years.

Murdoch ?

Doubts are cast on his Testimony !

He Won't SAY ANYTHING of ANY IMPORTANCE if They don't have the 5th!

Doubts ?????...It's That polite for LIE ???

Roger Ailes & Murdoch MOST LIKELY are PUMPING MILLIONS ?

around WASHINGTON RIGHT NOW ?

The ultra rich never have to worry. The Murdock's will never see the inside of any jail.

Fox News is one of Murdock's puppet news channels with his buddies, the Koch Bros. supporting them every step of the way.

The corruption across this world is so deep the the ordinary citzen does not even see it when it's right in front of their eyes every day on the news channels.

This is just another distraction from the real problems we are having here in the USA. Jobs, Health Care, Medicare, overhauling our tax structure to a fairer system for every one.

I'm always amazed at how many people watch Fox News and buy into what those anti-Americans spew to the public 24/7/365. They must all be Tea Partiers and all brain dead.

Allen,,The DEM & GOP !

The PAY a FINE and ADMIT no Flipping GUILT .

Then get it.

Back in tAX BENEFITS.......................

Look how They LEARNED from th 80's Saving Loan SCANDAL!

The GOP & DEMS Made SURE the Banks, Wall Street Speculators BAD lender, ETC.

Walked away SCOTT FREE ..........................

And The FREE FALL MARKET is Still WIDE OPEN to WILD Unregulated SWINGS..!

Amen with getting the truth out concerning these unethical practices. I think we should expand the probes and have all editors of U.S. papers, magazines , T.V. or cable to testify under oath that they have not used or have any knowledge of their reporters using these practices. It would be prudent to have all contributing reporters also to submit a signed statement attesting that they do not use any of these practices as a requirement prior to using any of their reporting.

We would be naive to believe this doesn't happen here. Our computers, cell phones, smart-phones are all much more vulnerable than we want to think.

Why should THEY? We don't here...not one rich butt behind bars related to our housing bubble and crash and all the wealth transfer in this country.

So many (5 of the richest) investment houses involved in the scheme to bankrupt our country but gave billions in bonuses right after me and you bailed them out.

If the USA won't lock up rich guys, why should any country?

After seeing the performances of Lyndon Johnson and George W. Bush, I've decided to never again vote for a Texan for any significant office, so this clown Perry won't get my vote if he gets nominated for the presidency.

What is it with Texas politicians? Is it something in the water or in the air? They all seem to have PHDs in bravado. They should take a page out of the book of our New York politicians like Elliot Spitzer and Alan Wiener. Their "strengths" lay in sex scandals and stupidity.

Perhaps we should outsource our legislation to places like China and India. That way, we could salvage some of our national honor by blaming the transgressions on foreigners.

Just how the Fox News reporters ignored Ron Paul during the Iowa Straw Poll (watch The Daily Show from last night, he did a whole montage on it) even though he finished second, they will ignor this story.

Currently, 2 of their top 4 headlines as follows:

"American Model Found Dead In Australian School"

&

"ACLU Backs Sex Offenders Living Near Daycare"

Sue the evil Murdoch empire out of existence.

The UK can go on and on about the bad behavior of the poor, but what about the worse behavior of the rich who can pay off employees, govt, and the police to mask their own criminality.

It's so easy to arrest the poor who swipe tvs and athletic shoes. But what about bankers who destroy jobs, income, savings and take houses illegally? Whose crime is more devastating?

If a corporation is a person and someone dies by one of your products doesn't that mean you killed them?

D.Man,

Just how the Fox News reporters ignored Ron Paul during the Iowa Straw Poll

Thats because Ron Paul isn't FOX's darling.

Perry is.

Watch in the coming weeks as they start touting his "success" on the "jobs front", as they completely ignore the fact that MOST of those jobs, are minimum to low wage jobs at best, with MANY created by stimulus dollars.

Expect them to go into full-on attack mode against the other republican candidates. They might excuse Bachmann from a serious pummeling, if the Tea Party shows any distaste over moderate questioning of her viability to even be considered as a potential Vice-President.

The GOP is dead. Its just a matter of time before it gets officially re-branded with the Tea Party name and logo. FOX is merely looking at what they see as inevitable, and trying to stay ahead of the curve, and out of the crossfire.

All of these so-called news agencies should be fined heavily each and every time that they purposely report false or misleading information...mainly FOX(Fools) news. Yes other news firms lean one direction or another, however FOX outright lies and misleads its pro-wrestling, NASCAR mentality fans, who believe every word that the likes of Hannity, O'Riely, and Rush Limpbaugh tell them. The proof is there for anyone to find.

Example: the James O'keefe reporting on ACORN, every state and federal agency that investigated concluded that O'keefe heavily edited all videos and recordings for the reason of simply making ACORN look bad, yet FOOLS news ran this story almost non-stop, but when all of these investigations came out with the real story FAUX news didn't say a word about it. then when the little weasel O'keefe was arrested for trying to tap a congressional members phone system, FAUX news tried to make him out as a hero.

I could go on and on about the outright B.S. that Murdochs news puts out around the world. This has to end somehow, it is tearing our country apart.

Where are democrats ethics? Seriously all the lies told by democrats and the left wing media about how magical Obama care was and we are now finding out much about what the idiots in the media were attacking conservatives about were actually true.

ACORN was pure and innocent when they showed people how to get federal housing subsidies to run an UNDER AGE brothel.

Planned Parenthood and not reporting children getting abortions.

Anthony Wiener, paragon of ethics to be sure.

Sounds like liberals are pretty liberal with ethics also if you ask me.

Bob, check the facts. The ACORN thing turned out to be a fabrication based on creative editing (you can look it up - anywhere at all except Fox) and your Planned Parenthood fantasy is just rabid anti-abortionism getting in the way of thinking.

Weiner is an ass, but then so are lots of politicians (the difference being that some, like republican David Vitter, don't have the decency to leave office when they are caught.)

So your whole post is useless. Try again.

That is a lie Patrick...how is your hero Elliot Spitzer doing on CNN?

Rupert Murdoch has made the world a far worse palce than it would have been without him.

Nowhere is that more true than in the United States of America.

Ya George Soros is the best LMAO

ACORN helped the poor on a massive scale. The reason Republicans wanted it shut down is because they also registered the poor to vote. Now they are shutting down unions. Next they'll shut down the US Govt and it looks like they are being pretty successful given that they have created a downgrade.

But what will happen is that all citizens, regardless of party, will lose. Politicians only care about voters if they have millions to give them. Once they get your vote, you are done. You're just background, a source of revenue, a sacrificial pawn that never makes it to the end game.

Time to stop believing this fictional narrative they are feeding you--be it from the left or right.

Sounds like liberals are pretty liberal with ethics also if you ask me

How about that deadbeat teaparty'n dad Walsh that owes over $100,000 in back child support? Or Newt asking for a divorce while his wife was sick with cancer? Or Ensign? Or Sanford? Gotta love those teapub family values, don't you?

Sounds like liberals are pretty liberal with ethics also if you ask me

That's why we didn't ask you. Since you can't tell the difference between "some liberals are unethical" (very true) and "all liberals are unethical" (not at all true.)

Patrick 1102881, you seem to be the one who is totally being lied to if you think the whole thing was a "fabrication based on creative editing". You should watch the unedited versions, there even more damning.

lib50, two words for you.. John Edwards

Byron Raum, don't try to inject your own thoughts into what I wrote, you missed. IF you are trying to trying to say that I said "all" liberals are unethical, I did not. Quite frankly if you don't want to read my posts, don't.

Acorn has been found guilty is several voter fraud cases as well and they also protested banks to make BAD LOANS

heck... the government does it all the time in the name of homeland security...

A short list of that scum would be: Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Greta Van Susteren, And the likes of Rush Limbaugh etc.

Hannity is so insulting to our president, that if I met him, I'd take him on. He's a Punk!

Sure and the GE/NBC/MSNBC alignment was not corrupt to right? Wonder how many more green job factories will go bust 2 short years after being stimulated.

David, those organizations have never announced their desire for our country and president to fail. Fox is a traitorous organization and those that follow them closely are buying into that same attitude. You may not like some of the things you hear on MSNBC but you will never hear them say that want the country to fail because they disagree with someone's position.

Sure Amused they treated Bush a hell of a lot worse than anyone treated Obama and the simple fact they try to blame the house for democrats own past and present mistakes is rather funny since when things started to go really bad in 2007 and 2008 the democrats held the majority in both the house and senate. 5 trillion in new debt is squarely on the old speaker of the house shoulders making her pay go statment rather comical.

Murdoch must go.

Statist politicians MUST go

Sure Amused they treated Bush a hell of a lot worse than anyone treated Obama and the simple

Yea? Did they ever call Bush a lying fascist commie muslim socialist kenyan?

They called him a Hitler war monering red neck amoungst other thingsof course liberals want to forget that..I was a democrat when that was going on so trying to alter past reality will not work with me

Murdoch makes Josef Goebbels look like a Teddy bear.

S&P's downgrade of the US debt has been largely marginalized by the other two ratings agencies, as well as the massive move into US Treasuries caused by the stock turbulence of recent weeks.

And breaking now, Fitch Ratings just re-affirmed the US sovereign debt, with a stable long-term outlook based on the current legislation. S&P ruined their own reputation by downgrading the US. It was an extremely stupid move on their part, and they're regretting it already.

Agreed. Repubs number one strategy has been to sabotage the economy and blame Obama.

America will lose big if they are re-elected.

Hence The Term COMMI-KAZE

Eyes Wide Open:

Many thanks for the information on Mr. McGraw, III.

Yes, I think the downgrade was political and that Mr. McGraw, III should be indicted.

I also think that Obama is a fast talking phony and that our Congress is a bunch of greedy sleazebags.

Just how did the GOP sabotage the economy? Democrats passed Obama Care with budget rules claiming it would SAVE money which was/is a lie then they never presented a budget (can pass full budget with budget rules) then would not even present a bill that met the number 1 criteria to not get down graded...a balanced budget plan....but hey democrats tabled 3 bills in the senate that met all the criteria to not get down graded as well.

.

Repubs number one strategy has been to sabotage the economy and blame Obama

GOP threats to default on America's debt, most of it run up by the Republicans themselves, was tantamount to firemen treatening to commit arson if they weren't paid 'protection' money. Their purpose was to downgrade America's credit rating and destroy the success the stock market enjoyed over the last two years.

America will lose big if they are re-elected

No kidding. But that is probably what will happen (the GOP will sweep back into power, and Americans outside the richest 1% will lose big time).

Hey David did you forget all of the things the repubs have cost us. Like unfunded RX program for seniors, and the unfunded wars. We will not know the final cost. Wait til all of the wounded Vets need treatment for the rest of their lives at the VA. The TBI's alone will most of which are 100% disabled and all of the guys that lost limbs, and eye sight. These are just a few of the things that we are going pay for in increased tax money. There is a heel of alot more that we don't know the final cost. Or are they going to kick them to the curb so they won't raise tax on the super rich. Like they have for the middle income workers of this country.

EyesWide.. normally I don't pay much attention to conspiracy theories, but you got me wondering.

BOY the lies you morons pass on is sickening. The democratic medicare fix was more expensive than plan B. Default? Only way we could have gone into default is if Obama told the treasury not to pay the interest on the debt. That is a fact regardless how twisted you little trolls want to make it. Debt? Obama blows them all away and Bush had 2 full years with a democratic controlled congress (house and senate) in which over the 4 years of Nancy Pelosi accumulated more debt in 4 years that Bush did in 8 and she controlled spending! How is that pay go working for us? What about the wars Obama got us in? Obama care makes everything else look cheap while un-insuring more people than it insures..also the very moron defending it in court said "if you don't like the mandate make less"..bills like that are direct attacks against the middle class.

Thanks for that info. I didn't know that.

I agree with you.

This explains all the huge problems the U.S. is having, briefly and consisely-

Bush and Cheney did 8 years of massive, deep wound damage to the U.S.! It will take Obama or any Democrat, a minimum of 8 years to get things back on track. Our government works slow. If a republican gets elected President in the next election, things will get worse, and the U.S. could fall apart. Don't expect any quick fixes from Obama, or anybody. DEEP WOUNDS TAKE A LONG TIME TO HEAL!!!

Eric Holder....Where are you???????????? Maybe too afraid to confront Foux News and the WSJ? Weasel!

Holder is too busy covering his arse in the Fast and Furious scandal.

I thought Holder, when he took that job, would clean things up in this country. The shame of it is, he doesn't seem to have the guts to do anything.

I'm always puzzled why the republicans can head straight at what they demand and the democrats just keep giving in to them over and over.

You are right, Cameron has too much to lose if/when the truth comes out and his hiring judgement is more directly questioned

Yes drone - continue to blissfully ignore the facts that are playing out before you... it is much easier to fashion some wild unprovable conspiracy that the liberals are just out to get Fox... Yep, The Dog is a shining example of the vast majority of zombie American voters - to ignorant to determine fact and fiction and too lazy to do any research to determine the difference.

Uhhh, Zombie voters? I didn't vote for Barry.

"I still don't think this is a big deal. Some employees did something wrong soooo does the owner get charge in any other business? Methinks you libs are trying to blow this up because you can't deal with FOX for them telling the real story instead of the basic media's propaganda."

Seriously?

I'm curious...Why do people like you get off on posting such laughably "bogus" nonsense like this when it's obvious that even "you" don't believe it?

Where's the "psychological" payoff for individuals-such as yourself-in creating an account on a "MSM/lib" blog just so you can rail "against" the MSM-and "libs"-by "deliberately" spreading misinformation and lies about a media outlet with a notorious-and "verified"-track record of "deliberately" spreading misinformation and lies?

Now if constantly making an "ass" of yourself by "deliberately" making bogus statements is what gives you "wood" in your own little world then "each to his own" I guess-ain't freedom great?- but looking at the "facts" I "don't" believe you are crazy, you just seem to enjoy "pretending" to be-but that's between you and your "shrink".

Therefor what "Methinks" is that if someone were to strap your "I know I'm totally full of sh!t but I just can't stop lying to myself and everyone else" ass to a polygraph and hook your testicles up to a car battery-you know, as "your" punishment when "you" lie-and then ask you if you "honestly" believe any of your own "debunked by the "real" data" ultra-right wing propaganda (aka; you really "are" crazy and delusional and you're" not" just another dimwitted "trolling" agitator out to push peoples buttons) I'd be willing to bet by the time they were finished your "berries" would look like 2 peanuts after going through a blast furnace...

So please try doing some decent and "respectable" for a change instead of "pretending" you're just another "brainwashed" ultra-right wing douche-bag...

Cheers

Did he play James Bond? ;)

It's called spam - delete it...

Oh now isn't that special...

The person named "Conservative-336681" is criticizing the "populist" administration for not going after a conservative icon the same way the British have...despite the fact that the DOJ is investigating News Corp for violations of The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

Pushing faux outrage and misinformation simultaneously? If you told me you were chewing gum while posting I might take a moment to pretend to be impressed.

I've noticed an increase in the number of self-described Republicans/Conservatives who want the masses to be "outraged" by Obama, but the things they condemn are things they, by nature of their political affiliation, would want. Not that you ever had much credibility, but pissing on my boots while claiming its raining is a new low.

Cynical and hypocritical opportunism, yes, but do I also smell the stench of desperation...or are you simply THAT unaware?

What? The Department of Homeland Security and FEMA should be shut down?

You can't be serious. I take it you don't expect any natural disasters or terrorist bombings where you live and couldn't give two craps about what happens anywhere else in the country.

This is a rhetorical question. Please don't bother responding.
