Rupert Murdoch is in for a lot of embarrassment tonight based on this clip from the documentary about the UK hacking scandal that will air on PBS’ Frontline. It describes how important News Of The World and other UK tabloids were to Murdoch’s rise, his love of gossip, and how his papers “monstered” — meaning, destroyed — those who got in his way. Veteran reporter Lowell Bergman led the investigation for the episode titled “Murdoch’s Scandal.”

We have papers similar to this in the US.

Thats right Dave, keep hammering the story no one gives a damn about outside the fringe. Tabloids acting improperly? Shut your face! Oh wait, this ones connected to that Fox News guy? Story of the century!
You don’t think a newspaper systematically committing crimes and manipulating the police and government leaders is an important story?
The importance of this story has nothing to do with the political leanings of the owner and his news network. It has to do with a company systematically and habitually breaking the law and bullying those who tried to expose them, including government officials.
Or do you think we should turn a blind eye to this type of behaviour?
Thank you, Frontline. Nobody does it better.
Lowell is definitely one of the good guys…
Go Lowell!!!! Keep up the great work and your legacy.
