Ah, yeah....journalism at it's finest....

"Once again Rupert Murdoch is trying to pin the blame on individual journalists hoping that a few scalps will salvage his corporate reputation," she said.

Amazing how long it takes for cronies to get busted - when all the payoffs and bribes finally fail and the royals can't hid from it any more. Before they get the guillotine out in the UK, the let a few pawns take a hit. Do ya think its enough? Or is UK in for more riots?

What would you suggest?

Murdoch's success is based on sleeze. This says as much about his acumen as his sleezy character.

Until we start seeing headlines where corrupt rich media owners and politicians and bankers are punished severely or beheaded for their grossly illicit actions against the fundamental issues of righteous behavior towards society, nothing will change.

It will always be about risk and reward. Until the risk becomes death, or life imprisonment, then the reward will rarely be worth the risk and it will end the corruption. The people that do this stuff weigh all the risks.

Instead the elite politicians typically put all the risk on average Joes who have no impact on societal behavior.

Five employees of Rupert Murdoch's Sun tabloid in Britain were arrested Saturday for involvement in bribing police and other officials

yawn .. bribes are "business as usual" all over the globe
~ however, only since Jan 2009 here in USA

Rupert Murdoch, the King of the Tabloid, becomes scandalous grist for the tabloid mill he helped to spawn.

S'funny is that.

Be Well.

Pope charges heretic Mormon with bribing sheep:

"Well, you know, those straw polls at CPAC -- as you know for years Ron Paul has won those because he just trucks in a lot of people, pays for their ticket, they come in a vote, and then they leave," Santorum explained to CNN's Candy Crowley. "We didn't do that. We don't do that. I don't try to rig straw polls."

"Do you think that Gov. Romney rigged it?" Crowley asked.

"Well, you have to talk to the Romney campaign about how many tickets they bought," Santorum replied.

"Somebody is telling you that they think Mitt Romney's team, at least, paid for folks to go and vote for him at the straw poll," Crowley observed.

"That's standard procedure at all of these straw polls, that campaigns that want to win go out and recruit people and provide free tickets for them to come and vote," Santorum explained. "And there's nothing wrong with that, and that's absolutely a strategy. We just think just don't think that's a good use of our resources. Gov. Romney obviously may have a different idea."

What would you suggest?

Hold Murdoch accountable for what goes on in his company during his watch?

Just like you hold the President accountable for everything that goes on during his watch.
