Really bad week for Rupert Murdoch and News Corp. the parent company of Wall Street Journal, Fox News and other tabloids. First, they sell MySpace which they purchased for $550 million just 6 years ago for $35 million. Then the news spills out (although not on Fox News) that not just one of their newspapers but several have been illegallly hacking into voicemail, bank records and other private information of not just politicians and celebrities but crime victims and interfering with police investigations into murders. Now Murdoch is being sued by many of his shareholders over his management of the company.

So when Assange exposes private documents or some kid hacks into Palin's e-mail, it is a good thing, but here, Murdoch, is shutting down the offenders whereas the New York Times applauds those who steal our military and diplomatic secrets.

Hmmmm... It appears that the FCC is starting to investigate NewsCorp and Murdoch here in the States as well... It looks like the scandals aren't limited to the UK... (You can hear the surprise in *MY* voice!...) Pooor FauxNews might have some troubles coming.....
