Hyperbole much?

Quote:
"News International has consistently reiterated that it will not tolerate wrong-doing and is committed to acting on evidence.
And Rupert can't be implicated in this. Luckily for me, I actually read the whole article so that I may blow apart your misleading OP.

Quote:
"In January, News International voluntarily approached the Met Police and provided information that led to the opening of the current police investigation.
Kinda hard to be a criminal conspirator if you voluntarily give up the employees responsible now are you? Epic fail

Murdoch's presence in the UK precedes his presence in the US.

Murdoch did'nt give up the editor who was in charge while the phone hacking was going on.

In fact the editor of the News or the World, Andy Coulson, become the press officer to the Conservative party, but he resigned when further phone hacking allegations involving him, were released by the media. Turns out he was well aware of what was going on, and if he knew what was going on, you can bet your life Murdoch did.

I highly doubt that. Murdoch has a lot of business operations going on around the world, I don't think he cares much for a little country like the UK, especially if 2 low level employees were found out and were voluntarily given up. Just like the Wisconsin situation, you lefties are just desperately trying to fan fires that refuse to stay lit

Of course Mr Murdoch does'nt care about a little country like the UK, that's why he is currently trying to buy the British broadcaster BskyB for $10.7 billion.

Quite a bit of change to spend in a country he does'nt care about is'nt it?
The thing is Brainwashed, it's glaringly obvious that you don't know what the hell you are talking about.
