Rupert Murdoch is expected to arrive in London later to take charge of dealing with the phone-hacking crisis that has engulfed his News International group.

This comes as staff at the News of the World prepare the final edition of the paper, axed after new hacking claims.

Labour is writing to No 10 to urge the immediate appointment of the judge to lead an inquiry into the scandal.

Late on Friday, an unnamed 63-year-old became the third man arrested during the day as part of the police probe.

The Murdoch's own this and should be held fully accountable.

2. The Murdoch's own this ?

I was under the impression that News Corporation, the parent company , was a publicly traded company.

Is it no longer listed on NASDAQ ?

3. The company's Chairman & Chief Executive Officer is Rupert Murdoch.

James Rupert Jacob Murdoch is the son of media mogul Rupert Murdoch and currently serves as Chairman and Chief Executive of News Corporation, Europe and Asia, overseeing assets such as News International (British newspapers), SKY Italia (satellite television), and STAR TV (satellite television in Asia).

Anyway, I used the term "own" in the colloquial - having to take responsibly - sense, not the formal - full legal possession of the companies involved - sense.

As in, they are ultimately responsible for whatever happens within the companies they are Chairmen and CEOs of.

4. Murdoch descends

upon London, perhaps in a single plane like Adolph's big entry into Nuremberg. A suitable documentary available on all FOX outlets might be "Triumph of the Swill".
