Good point.London (CNN) -- Media baron Rupert Murdoch has not apologized to the family of a murdered British teenage girl whose phone messages were illegally intercepted by people working for his News of the World newspaper, a lawyer for the girl's family said Monday.The scandal over the hacking of Milly Dowler's phone and allegations that terror victims and fallen troops may also have been targeted forced the best-selling 168-year-old newspaper to close up shop this weekend.
Rebekah Brooks, who was editor of the newspaper at the time of the Dowler hacking, should resign, Dowler family lawyer Mark Lewis said Monday.
"She should do the honorable thing," Lewis said. "She was editor at the time Milly was taken. She should take editorial responsibility" for the actions of her journalists, Lewis said.
Cameron connected to hacking scandal? Brooks has since been promoted to chief executive of News International, the company that publishes Murdoch's British newspapers. Murdoch has stood by her so far.
Lawyer: Murdoch hasn't apologized for hacking of murdered girl's phone - CNN.com
Since the scandal broke during the years of a Labour government, and given that Brown and Blair were both very close to News International, any honest person would be questioning both parties relationship with News International.
I am, however, not surprised that Chris ignores that in his desperate - and somewhat ignorant - attempt to link it to the Conservative Government.... and, at the risk of pointing out the blatantly obvious to the terminally stupid - British Conservatives are closer to the Democrats than they are to Republicans. I guess some people just judge others on a label.... 'Conservative' = bad.
Idiot.
The personal insults make you look silly, really. There is no need for it.
The Cameron headline was left there when I copy and pasted it by mistake.
I couldn't care less about British politics.
Why don't you people have a "moral fitness" clause, for the issuance of licence', as does the U.S.?
YOU PEOPLE!!! Fuck you arsehole!
I could've typed "little" people but chose not to.

No.So, you voted for Obama then?
I never claimed the MSM is unbiased.Anyone who claims the MSM is unbiased is a lefty.
I work evenings....and I don't post from work...slacker!I work during the day
Of course not and not one single politican or pundit I've heard of has proposed shutting down any part of conservative media.Do you think Clear Channel should be forcibly shut down?
Eisenhower was a fiscal conservative. Nixon was a fiscal conservative. The term conservative is too abstract these days...but I know people who think they are conservative think it means that you hate Obama, you're anti gay marriage and anti abortion, you're a "patriot"???, and you love freedomsandliberties.Are you claiming that Eisenhower was "conservative?" Seriously. Dick fucking price caps Nixon?
Come on..
The press was dead set against Reagan, they just couldn't overcome the anti-Carter sentiment of the nation - just as they may not be able to overcome the anti-Obama (Carter the II) sentiment.
I thought you remembered the 70's?......remember back when the Republican party had moderates and liberals? and the Democratic party had conservatives?....that was because there wasn't 100% advocacy journalism back then.Yep, those who fail to follow McGovern conservatives have a "disease."
Obama has never proposed banning Fox. They might have discluded one of their pseudo journalists from a press meeting but they're not censoring or restricting them from saying anything they want. It's a shame Fox and MSNBC are even allowed at white house press conferences, they might as well include the Nat'l Inquirer.That you ignore the citations, including Dear Leader himself, trying to ban Fox.
I'm not a lefty.Yep, that is irrational - but yer a lefty, so no surprise.
I didn't vote for Obama. Bob Barr was an embarassment ever since he tried to sue Bill Clinton for "emotional distress" after the impeachment thing. That guy had absolutely no chance of winning. You wasted your vote, you could have voted against Obama.BTW, I voted for Bob Barr. You do realize that Barack Obama was NOT the Libertarian candidate, right?

Other Murdoch papers were hacking records, not just the "News of the World"....
Rupert Murdoch will delay indefinitely his attempted $19 billion acquisition of satellite provider BSkyB as new revelations surfaced that the private medical records of then-Prime Minister Gordon Browns family were illegally obtained by other News Corp. outlets, according to British news reports Monday.
The BSKyB move came in the form of a withdrawal of News Corp.s offer to spin off its Sky News division, which was required before U.K. regulators would allow the takeover bid to proceed. It does not necessarily end Murdochs takeover bid, but will mean a long delay as the bid is referred to Britains Competition Commission the BBC said.
The news comes as the Guardian reported hackers working on behalf of Murdochs Sunday Times and Sun newspapers targeted former Labour party leader Browns voicemail and bank, medical and legal records.

Yet another name coming into the frame. This time Dow Jones CEO, Les Hinton who it seems is about to come under the spotlight for his time between 1995 and 2007, when he was in charge of News International. Looks like the ripples are spreading!

Beat me to it.
You can see why I get embarrassed by Americans, right? Left. Right. As a nation, we seem unable to focus on one topic and not turn everything into a rant about the 'opposite side'. And people wonder why our congress critters get away with so much shit... because we're too busy bitching to pay attention.

As much profanity as you use and as many names you call people and insults you fling around, I would have thought you were quite above getting embarrassed.
Shareholders aren't waiting either. Good reason why the media should remain seperate from the government.

News International papers targeted Gordon Brown | Media | The GuardianConfidential health records for Brown's family have reached the media on two different occasions. In October 2006, the then editor of the Sun, Rebekah Brooks, contacted the Browns to tell them that they had obtained details from the medical file of their four-month-old son, Fraser, which revealed his cystic fibrosis.
This appears to have been a clear breach of the Data Protection Act, which would allow such a disclosure only if it were in the public interest. Friends of the Browns say the call caused them immense distress, since they were only coming to terms with the diagnosis, which had not been confirmed. The Sun published the story.
Five years earlier, when their first child, Jennifer, was born on 28 December 2001, a small group of specialist doctors and nurses was aware that she had suffered a brain haemorrhage and was dying. By some means which has not been discovered, this highly sensitive information was obtained by news organisations, who published it over the weekend before Jennifer died, on Monday 6 January 2002.

Yea, it really was. But you know what, the Conservative Party wasn't responsible. Idiot leftist Americans want to make this into a 'Conservative = bad' thing... and it really isn't.
