Need some good news? A Lord in the UK just called for Rupert Murdoch to do jail time for phone hack
Holy heck! Lord Sugar has called for the editors and PROPRIETORS (rupert murdoch) of any paper found to have been phone hacking to do jail time.

7. My guess is that his empire is legally set up so that he never has to set foot in the UK again. nt

10. It would still be good if this guy gets his way, even if they can't physically get Murdoch.
"I heard it on Fox News!"
"You mean the network owned by a wanted criminal and co-owned by a terrorist sympathizer? That Fox News?"

13. Along with a certain Senator that gave murdock the status
that allowed him to own a supposedly news organization here in america. After all it is against our constitution.
Heavy on the supposedly because it is not news but in fact only propaganda of the :puke: kind
