A former producer with Fox News claimed in a lengthy essay gaining new traction this week that the conservative television station has a "Brain Room" in its New York headquarters which enables employees to view private telephone records with ease.
I am betting more news organizations than Fox use this technology. Remember when the British Sun newspaper had hacked into Prince Charles phone and printed his "tampon" comments to Camila Parker Bowles.
Will the British and US goverment come down hard on the press for these wiretaps with fines and jail terms or will the corporate media get a sweetheart deal from the people in power?
I can imagine some in goverment would love to take down the press for this as revenge.
