Groups, including Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), have urged the FCC to pull Fox's licenses because of evidence that its parent company News Corp. hacked people's phones in the United Kingdom to get stories.

Undoubtedly horrific behavior by the News Corp., but probably about as horrific as NBC secretely rigging trucks to explode in an attempt to bankrupt a company.

And definitely not as bad as CBS knowingly presenting forged documents as genuine in an attempt to swing a US Presidential election.

This is not a road the networks really want to go down.

Its hardly “horrific”. Phone hacking isn’t even illegal in the UK. This is a contrived “scandal” started by the Marxist “Guardian” to bring down Murdock’s conservative empire and silence that voice.

You mean like cropping a 911 call to cause a race riot?
