4. Welcome onboard!

I think Beckham is also a victim of phone hacking. Seems like this is more focused on celebrities, but I also recall that Christine Armapour was a target as well as rumors circulating that John Kerry had his phone hacked. I really am more concerned with NewsCorp and the political angle...seems like they'd have used information to blackmail or destroy certain political players to further their global agenda. Hope NewsCorp and Murdock goes down hard...and takes the official network of GOP propaganda - Fox News - with it.

7. Hopefull, Faux, Roger Ailes next in line ...

Why is the American Media concentrating on Murdoch's scandal in Briton? Why is it failing to see the connection between Murdoch, Roger Ailes and FOX News, the Tea Party, and the 2010 election?

There are rumors that Ailes may be the next Murdoch employee to undergo a government investigation due to his dealings with Judith Regan and Bernard Kerik.

8. Assignment

When engaged in any discussion with a follower of Fox News, always look for an opportunity to point out who their #2 shareholder is. This is particularly effective right after they drop a disparaging comment about "muzzies." I can hear the hamster wheels powering their brains sputter-clank-boinging from distances of hundreds (thousands?) of miles.

9. And you honestly expect anything to happen? nt

10. The Guardian said Murdoch has had to spend 240 million dollars on this so far

his son has stepped down from Skyb

It is hurting them every day. but, yeah, I think it might bring down Cameron's government, I think it will put a lot of people in jail and I think they were doing it all here too. So, yeah, I think that there is potential for Fox news to be maimed badly.

11. Here in America, all they will get is a fine of $10 or so.

I doubt that there will be any big scandal because it's Fox.
Any illegal crap they do will be accepted by the authorities as business as usual.
