So now no member of the Murdoch family sits on the boards of News Corp’s marquee British newspapers. The London Evening Standard is reporting from regulatory filings that James Murdoch in September “dramatically resigned” in a “surprise move” as a director of the various News Corp companies that publish The Times, The Sunday Times and The Sun. James faces calls to also quit as chairman of BSkyB at next week’s annual general meeting. But James is still enjoying his promotion to News Corp deputy chief operating officer in New York last April and a News International spokesman confirms that James remains chairman of the company. NI remains at the center of the UK phone hacking scandal.


Hopefully this is just James getting his affairs in order prior to his incarceration. More likely just covering up loose ends, but it’s fun to hope.
Tip o’ the hat to DH for still covering this debacle. Everybody else seems to have moved on to the next shiny thing, no doubt much to Rupert’s relief.
I still remember his pompous address to the british media in the mctaggert lecture 2009.
labelling the BBC a threat to plurality with slides – the bottom line – NI is a nasty, nasty corporation run by a nasty, bullying, venal man who has reared nasty bullying sons.
the role of NI international in british public life has been revealed to be systematically threatening and odious. Its a very, very bad corporation. They spied on more people than MI5 and regularly threatened anyone who stood up against them.
terrifyingly bad lot.
It’s a sad day when you realize that you care – albeit briefly – about how this will affect his standing vis-a-vis Elizabeth and Lachlan.
Ta-ta, James, and take your father with you when you remove the Murdoch family from your US operations as well.
Buh-bye.
James is doing the right thing by disconnecting from toxic substance…..James needs to just focus on the US and Asia only from now on….no point in hanging on to ” cancerous energy “…..they’re demonic, so they will not know right from wrong anymore, only GOD can control them at this point….I know James is already in NYC and he should just stay here and avoid the demonic energy in London…..so detach himself from what’s not good for him is correct….only stupid people would hang around demons and enjoy it…..James needs to purify his life style including cleaning house of people that aren’t good for him as to begin removing negative energy out of his life so it cannot attract evil towards him…..I need to physically clear him and block for him eventually…..James needs to stay focus and positive…..in this case I will need to come in contact with James at some point to do my work…..don’t need to explain or go into details on here…..just trust that I know what I’m doing based on what he needs…..I will destroy the demons for him, but each person is different…..I NEVER do this because I am fiercely private…..he can find me on 62 st between Park and Madison on the left hand side between the Hermes store and Revlon headquarter…..no one else is allowed to show up! If he wants help, this is where he can find me…..oh, and NY Post, please leave Wolfgang steak house alone, they’re my friends, I’ve been through hell already with them from LA….
Why is this news? Daddy still owns News Corp. and will never give that up. Junior will just take a less public role in the global corporation.
