So NewsCorp hacked 9/11 victims?




http://www.citizensforethics.org/legal-filings/entry/crew-calls-for-congressional-investigation-into-news-corp

–Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) called on the House and Senate to investigate whether journalists working for Rupert Murdoch’s News International (NI), owned by News Corp., have hacked into the voicemail of Americans.

Despite claims by NI executives that the phone hacking scandal enveloping Murdoch and his media empire was confined to the now-defunct News of the World, new evidence shows other Murdoch papers used the same tactics. Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown was repeatedly targeted for more than a decade by other Murdoch publications.

Further, a former New York City police officer claims he was offered money by News of the World journalists to retrieve the phone records of 9/11 victims and their families.

1. Here's today's REAL story people!
This is where the angst should be applied!

This situation gives us a good chance to take back our media... if we play the cards right!

Pay attention!!
