More Slimy Lies Of Right Wing Online Media

Media

Let’s face it, Tucker Carlson is slime. He has always been nothing but slime and it makes you wonder why any media, left or right, would have ever hired him. But once he ran his course with the networks and had to venture out on his own, he took his same, slimy brand and packaged […]

President Petraeus? Fox News' Failed Mission

Media

“Fair and balanced” sure has an interesting meaning when it comes to Fox News. We’re all used to their highly partisan reporting, but this story takes the political involvement of the network to a whole new level.

The New York Times has a very interesting article today about Chris Christie and how the GOP has treated him since Hurricane Sandy: A few days after Hurricane Sandy shattered the shores of New Jersey, Gov.

'Unfit to Lead'

Media

The U.K. Parliament has released a scathing report into the News of the World hacking scandal: In a report on the malpractice at Murdoch’s now shuttered News of The World tabloid, legislators accused Murdoch and his son James of overseeing a corporate culture that sought “to cover up rather than seek out wrongdoing.” Parliament’s cross-party […]

Accusation: Hacking Widely Discussed At News of the World

News

We haven’t heard much from the News Corp/Murdoch hacking scandal lately. I think that is all about to change: A former News of the World reporter has alleged that there was a massive cover-up of phone hacking at the paper. Clive Goodman, the former royal reporter jailed for his role in phone hacking, wrote a […]

The Buck Stops Where?

Media

Rupert Murdoch just told Parliament that he is not ultimately responsible for “this fiasco” and instead projected blame to the people he “trusted and the people they trusted”. I’m sorry, but as CEO of the company, you are ultimately responsible for anything that happens within the corporation. I don’t think the stockholders will take to […]

Why Pay A Million Dollars To Change Anti-Bribery Laws When You Don't Bribe?

Media

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 […]

Eliot Spitzer: Prosecute News Corp

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.

News Corp Could Face Criminal Prosecution In The U.S.

Media

The phone hacking scandal that has plagued the U.K. and gripped the attention of the world could really come home here in the U.S. now. News Corp is an American corporation, and while the entire hacking scandal has been solely in the U.K. (as far as we know), the U.S. does have laws against what […]
