No

You will see communist US politicians calling for the arrest of American News Corp executives, using this 11 year old "scandal" as an excuse.

MSNBC is all over this, not really explaining what the hell the real story is but getting the message out that News Corp and Murdoch are crooks.

Got to hand it to the marxists though, they never fail to use threat of imprisonment to keep the press in line.

Given that the British Prime Minister is a Conservative, and the current British govt is a conservative-heavy coalition, I am bemused at the notion of this ‘leftist British govt’ you talk about.

Lets hope Murdoch takes the left on. This side scandal is to distract from everything else. I really haven’t payed much attention to his candal. been focused on the real issues.

“I think she is rather attractive.”

If I were Robert Plant, I would too.

...but then I’d be rich.

Heard that the FCC is investigating Murdock and may try to break up his U.S. empire, i.e. implying that Fox Cable TV license might be taken away.

Watch the communist sympathizer FCC Chairman Genochowski. Also watch the communist group “Free Press”.

they are the ones who want to destroy Fox TV.

Reading and deleting a dead person’s e-mails, hacking voicemail accounts of Afghanistan-deployed soldier, do I need to go on? I’m sure this news organization is the only one doing it, right? (Sarah Palin’s Gmail comes to mind.)

“You will see communist US politicians calling for the arrest of American News Corp executives, using this 11 year old “scandal” as an excuse.”

Where did you get 11 years from? This has been going on a *lot* more recently than the year 2000!

What this scandal is really showing, digusting behaviour of the journalists aside, is that the UK tabloids, police and government are all thoroughly in each others pockets right up to the very highest levels. I have a healthy respect for the role of the free market in the running of my country - but am I happy to see so many of our elected officials and police seemingly dancing to the media owners’ tunes? Hell no - I do NOT want to live in a banana republic.

Try to stop spouting stupidities !

Like Sarkozy in France(a fellow of the last IMF director, the socialist D?Strauss-Kahn), Cameron is a center-right liberal who perfectly fits with Obamao...

You obviously ignore, want to ignore or feign to ignore ,what liberalism is. In USA they have the famous RINOs....

Cameron is not a conservative...rather a politically correct coward

If anything, Fox News will be spinned off to new ownership.

Me either. I have been paying more attention to the federal budget debt/debt raising of the ceiling continuing saga.
