I notice the rabid conservatives here are really working hard to defend Fox News' parent against the indefensible. Denial, avoidance, minimizing, lashing out, all the stages of profound loss are on display.

It's as if even they view Fox News and its parent as the political organizations they are.

Please do tell me how a corporation is run and how many CEO's you personally know?

There's a whole lot more going here with the peons than the police are saying.

Chilcoot - Many conservatives are opting to take the “blue pill” because they don't want to know how deep the rabbit hole goes.

There's a whole lot more going here with the peons than the police are saying.


Chef I agree especially with all the news coming out today:

- Rupert is assembling his own criminal defense “dream team” here in the U.S.
- The original whistle blower in the case was found dead in his home today.
- Another top Scotland Yard police official resigned today.
- There are also reports that Fox News headquarters in New York has a “black ops” operation in the basement that accessed phone records.

You did see this part of it didn't you?


"In a lengthy 2008 diatribe said to have doubled as a book pitch, Cooper claimed his own phone records had been hacked by Fox News employees, who he says used them to pinpoint him as a source used by David Brock, who founded liberal watchdog group Media Matters."

3 years of hiding it without one shread of a lawsuit?? ('scratchin')

I'll be real suprised if Murdoc actually said to hack into the phones. In any case, it's still a witch hunt, Mr. Mc Carthy would be quite pleased with the investigation so far.

If you note there was also a mention of a lawsuit that they quickly settled after the were accused of the same thing by another corporation. So his accusation isn't the only one.

Quote
According to The New York Times, a New Jersey company called Floorgraphics accused News Corp. in 2009 of hacking into their password-protected computer systems to obtain proprietary information, then allegedly spreading "false, misleading, and malicious information" about the firm, causing them to lose important contracts.

News Corp.'s response to the scandal was to buy Floorgraphics outright, after offering a $29.5 million settlement.

The person who owns Business Insider was banned from the securities industry due to fraud - not a reliable source.

He digs up a guy whose 3 year old unsubstantiated story cannot even be run on Soros' Media Matters site whose goal is to destroy Fox News.

The so called basement is actually an under the street level complex that runs under Rockefeller Center and includes many retail establishments, restaurants & is on the same level as the skating rink.

The case was dismissed by the courts

Don't you find it the least bit curious they paid $29.5 million for a company that had less than a million dollars in annual sales?

Sales in and of it self sometimes isn't what companies go for. Sometimes it's the real estate value, sometimes it's what a specific product is worth, or even the technology.

Car makers bought many such technological advancements and some they sat on for a few years.
