I would love for Rupert Murdoch empire to crumble (yes i'd love him in prison too) because he's had massive power over British politicians for many many years.
In Britain Rupert Murdoch has a newspaper
the sun and whichever political party (labour or conservatives) the paper backs that party would more than likely win the election because lots of people read the paper. So politicians from both parties would creep around Murdoch grovelling to him for him to back their political party and quite frankly it was pathetic. Murdoch knew he had massive power in British politics and he knew most politicians were scared of him.
In his other newspaper
the news of the world (he closed it last week) it's been well known for years that they've been hacking celebrity and politicians phones (most politicians and celebrities didn't do anything because they were scared of Murdoch). However the scandal erupted a couple of week back when it was revealed that
the news of the world also hacked into murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowlers cell phone and the hacker wiped some messages off her voicemail (so they could listen to her parents frantic incoming phone calls) and because her voicemail now wasn't full this was giving false hope to her parents that their daughter was still alive. They also hacked the phones of the parents of two other murdered schoolgirls (known as the soham murder). They also hacked the families of some victims who died in some London bombings from a few years ago..along with numerous other hackings. By the way the police were saying for years they didn't have enough information to prosecute ..but it's been discovered that lots of police have been recieving money from
the news of the world for insider information and they've known about the Milly Dowler hacking for years but they convieniently overlooked it (of course to protect themselves).
So at the moment in the UK it's great to see the hold that Murdoch has over UK politicians has disappeared because every political party is speaking out against him. Murdoch and his son have agreed to sit in front of a committee of MPs on Teusday were they will be interrogated (which will be fascinating viewing).
Has i've already said he's closed down
the news of the world newspaper.. also he's had to abandon his plans to buy 100% share of british sky broadcasting (BskyB) which would've given him more power in the UK.
Unfortunately they don't wear orange in uk prisons but if it's true that they might have done hackings in America then who knows one day he might be wearing prison orange.
So that's the "Murdoch news corporation scandal" from a British point of view.
