Leave it to Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit idiocy to even screw up a lie! Here’s what Hoft is posting about the earthquake: When you clickthe link above the image it takes you to the White House’s President’s schedule, which of course shows no public events today.

An article currently appearing on Fox 19 in Cincinnati asks if the media is fairly covering the Ruppert Murdoch hacking scandal. After giving a vague background on the story, they go to their analysis: In the great scheme of things,”News of the World” is pretty immaterial to News Corp.’s earnings, in the one percent range. […]
For anyone out there thinking News Corp is innocent, we just need to look back to 2009: News Corporation admitted at a trial in 2009 that computers at its U.S. marketing division, News America Marketing, hacked into the secure website of a rival U.S.-based company 11 times, according to Bloomberg.

I think that is the $1 million dollar question right now: Rupert Murdoch donated $1m to a pro-business lobby in the US months before the group launched a high-profile campaign to alter the anti-bribery law – the same law that could potentially be brought to bear against News Corporation over the phone-hacking scandal. News Corporation […]
We knew it was only a matter of time: Rebekah Brooks, the loyal lieutenant of Rupert Murdoch, resigned Friday as chief executive of his embattled British newspapers, becoming the biggest casualty so far in the phone hacking scandal at a Sunday tabloid. Murdoch had vigorously defended Brooks in the face of demands from politicians that […]
Eliot Spitzer is no stranger to corporate corruption. The former governor and attorney general of New York made it a point to make such cases a priority and he had a very high success rate.
