Media Now the FBI Is Investigating Murdoch's News Corp.

Posted by on Thu, Jul 14, 2011 at 12:45 PM

Rupert Murdoch's problems are going international:

The FBI has opened an investigation into allegations that media mogul Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. sought to hack into the phones of Sept. 11 victims, a law enforcement official said Thursday.

Victimizing families of 9/11 victims, no less! Why does Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox News, hate America?

Oooo! I know!!! Let's play Fox News with this Fox News story.....

"Some people are saying that Fox News actually did hack into those phones, and deleted messages from loved ones, frantic to make contact, on America's Darkest Day."

"There are those who are saying that valuable information about what was going on in the buildings and planes on that fateful day that changed everything was deleted by representatives from Fox News."

"People are asking: Just how deep is the cover-up at Fox News? Could it be true that Roger Ailes was the mastermind behind the terrorist attacks that changed the nation?"

if they ever do address it, they'll just make themselves out to be the victims. and if it really hits the fan, they'll just pay a fine and walk away laughing.

This puts the sainted Tony Snow's run as WH press secretary in a whole new light, doesn't it?

If this allegation is true, Murdoch is a dead man walking. His wingnuts will desert him, and go after him with pitchforks. Incredible.

Are blind items a New York Post thing? The whole voice mail hacking incident(s) basically opens the door as to how they really got such sensational anonymous info on celebrities.

Why does Comcast carry such crap on their cable line up? Call Comcast today and demand that Fox News be dropped from their cable offerings.
