"Murdoch’s Sham Investigation" - He is investigating himself!
"Murdoch’s Sham Investigation" - He is investigating himself!


"Just when we were beginning to wonder when the Wall Street Journal would actually start to cover the meltdown at its proprietor’s company with all the zest that the world’s best business newspaper ought to muster for the world’s biggest business story, Rupert Murdoch picked up the phone to his own paper and gave it an exclusive interview.

In the interview with the Journal’s London bureau chief, Mr. Murdoch made the revelation that he would establish an independent committee, to be led by a “distinguished non-employee” to “investigate every charge of improper conduct” that has been swirling around News Corp in recent weeks. These charges include hacking by his reporters into the phones of celebrities, politicians, 9/11 victims and a murdered English child, as well as bribes to British policemen for scoops and information."

3. "Mr. Murdoch said that his company had handled the crisis “extremely well in every possible way”"
If that's his idea of handling a crisis extremely well, I can only suggest the "distinguished non-employee" he will pick to head the 'independent' committee will be Dubya. No-one else could fit Rupert's standards of competence and integrity.
