"Rupert Murdoch and his son James will face multiple criminal indictment in Great Britain before the end of the year."

From your typing fingers to god's inbox! :)

Excellent additions, jonber,.... all that you've done here! I hope you'll be able to spend more time with us.

At 81, he'll probably never see prison.

His Hell awaits him.

I get your point.

I don't think the rich and powerful can ever quite let go, (no matter how much damage they've done) he's going to appoint his son James as his successor at the company. Keeping it all in the family.

But his son is under even more scrutiny from the Parliament for wrongdoings so I'm sure nothing can go wrong there.

Yes, but perhaps they will now concentrate their efforts elsewhere. It seems their little power ploy didn't work (or only worked for a while) in the UK...

TheGuardian reports:

Media analyst Claire Enders said Murdoch's resignations were part of the "controlled fade of Rupert and James from the UK" that began last year in order to take a "psychological step back" from embarrassments such as the recent phone hacking scandal.
"It's the big farewell, it's time to move on. They are leaving the country and they won't be back. It is quite a historic moment," she said. "This follows on from comments Murdoch made a few weeks ago when he remarked on the unfriendliness of the UK, but it's something that is part of the long-term strategy.

Hopefully the complete demise of his evil fascist organization! It needs to be utterly destroyed for the good of all sane decent people.

corporate la familia, nuff said.

"strategy" being the operative word there.

Let's hope, MSII. His underlings, especially on the UK side of the pond seem pretty incompetent which will hopefully spell their eventual doom. Roger Ailes unfortunately on the US side is as evil of a spawn as Murdoch himself and until he is gone, FOX will continue to thrive here.

Don't give up hope...

Rupert Murdoch should and will die in jail...

Hope springs eternal!

Elmer's a lot cuter and a lot more likeable.

Thank you for taking a moment of your time to comment on this thread Coolplanet. I'm sure you don't mind that others here in the "Community" post various topics. In my opinion it's not a matter of competition or for seeking attention, but to post something that "may" be of interest to "some" members of the Current Community.

Again, I do appreciate your taking the time to come by and post your comment. There are certain posts I read, including topics on the environment but do not comment. I still appreciate the information that I get and the people who take the time to make that information available.

Actually, it's quite a big story, and should help to turn the FOXNoise volume down considerably -- at least in the UK.

Well, someone as powerful in the world of media as Rupert Murdoch, with all the political manoeuvring and influence his media power allows him, is certainly instrumental in shaping public opinion -- including the opinion of those who think this is of no importance (it is). So it will be interesting to see where things go from here.

Always Molli good to see you. .

Less Fox = Less Pollution

Turning it down isn't enough. FASCIST propaganda needs to be ended.

Agreed (and voted up). I am as guilty as anyone of dismissing Rupe and the gang of cretins at FOX NEWS as circus clowns: momentarily amusing but ultimately minor actors in the Big Show.

I tend to forget (be in denial?) about the fact that there are millions of people who watch that program for hours at a time and avidly sound out the words in Rupe's publications. This constant bombardment on the especially soft tissues in the crania of his supporters is literally molding (moulding?) their minds (or the closest approximations to minds that such viewers can be said to possess).

I mean, these people often VOTE. Worse, they REPRODUCE! Menaces to society? -- oh yes, I think so.

Sorry I'm such a one-issue poster lately, FreeSpirit.
I just see us so god damned distracted by political bullshit and yearly shooting sprees that we don't see the burning forests for the dwindling trees.
We have a global emergency on our hands and all we do is bicker about politics.
I always appreciate your posts and I'm sorry if I offended you.
I'm in a really bad mood lately and I didn't mean to take it out on you.

Not entirely.

"The media mogul plans to remain the chairman of both businesses although Chase Carey, chief operating officer at News Corp, will be elevated to the number two spot at the entertainment business."

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/jul/21/rupert-murdoch-director-news-interna...

Nope. Not as long as he's breathing. Dropping back to chairman doesn't hurt nearly as much as it appears to the public and, no doubt, Carey knows who to take advice from. This is all part of the UK/NOTW phone hacking scandal that directly involves PM Cameron. This makes it look like Murdoch is getting justice. He should be in jail, and Cameron run out on a rail.

Good post, FSM. Murdoch should be behind bars, though.

TY, I agree Rerushg he should be, but we know his money keeps him free.

Haruko they said "Murdock is fully committed to our business as chairman of what will become tne largest newspaper chain in the world" They make it sound like he is on his way up not down for his wrongdoings. Huh

Exactly. And Cameron trying to tap dance through the poop. Letsliveinpeace put up a great post that speaks right to the heart of the matter:

Peter Principle
incompetence is rewarded with promotion to the next grade level

Agree! The big money lives by it's own standards we little people live in a different world from this scum.
