There should be punishment for the crimes committed, without question. Let's see if there is an investigation into any of the other British tabloids, TMZ or National Enquirer with equal zeal. Or, as I suspect, this will primarily be about busting up Murdoch's empire because of his politics.

The left dominates the press and their hate for all things Murdoch knows no bounds. They will rally their forces to take him down.

Oh, I’m sure they’re hoping to take down Murdoch.
I hope this isn’t SOP at his papers (not that I think for a minute that he condones this). But if they’ve gotten away with it for yrs behind his back, it could spread to other operations.

This will not be as easy as one would think... Murdoch is powerful, ruthless, and he knows things about the right people. They will extract their blood but I do not think that they can take him down... I could be wrong.

Rupert Murdoch is the left, and so is his son. He saw an opportunity in the cable news market 15 years ago and it paid off. That's the extent of his loyalty to the political right.

More people watch his right-bashing gay propaganda tool "Glee" every week than FNC's entire lineup combined. Ditto for "Family Guy".

I couldn't care less what happens to the guy or his empire.

Precisely. Thanks Tex-Con-Man.
