unlike the other adult Murdoch kids, James Murdoch seems to be the one who most wishes to inherit Rupert’s position. Lachlan left to go back to Australia to run his own hedge fund and yes, it’s true that Elisabeth is back in the fold but I don’t believe she’s ever held a senior management position before she left to start Shine.

What I don’t like about this story is that about two months ago we were warned about liberals targeting the heads of conservative news organizations. So here it is. Liberals trying to take out the handful of US conservative media chiefs in preparation to the 2012 election.

The sinister history of Rupert Murdoch goes back to Adelaide 1952/3 when he inheirited a half share in his father’s 2 newspapers. He had to fight like a wild dingo to hold on to the business. This taught him a lesson.Beat the opposition at any cost and by any method available. Also the public don’t want sophisticated journalism, they want crap with sugar on it. He came to the UK in 1969, bought the NoTW and gave the public what they wanted…in spades. Murdoch Jr is just another pawn in the game. Maybe now, after 42 years vulgarising and deceiving the British public, corrupting institutions like the police and Westminister….the game is up.

Ms. Brooks has proven how ruthless she is by the scandalous methods used by her paper.

She is probably being protected because she could bring down junior with her, if she were sacrificed, and possibly senior.

The UK newspapers have turned into toxic assets for News Corp., and so have the Murdocks.

I’m really tired of CEO’s getting kit glove treatment when they do bad things. Murdoch is a hands-on CEO. It is virtually impossible for him to have not known how his news gatherers were able to find out things that no one else could find out.

Murdoch should be investigated and charged with every crime for which he is culpable, then he should be treated like any other common criminal.
