Former British PM Says He Was Murdoch Target


Recommended Posts

This is starting to get really big.

 

Just in case the News International hacking scandal wasn't big enough: Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown now believes that he was targeted by reporters from at least two of Rupert Murdoch's British newspapers.

 

CNN with the details: "Journalists from The Sun, Murdoch's daily British tabloid, obtained details about Brown's seriously ill son and published a story about him, while people working for the upmarket Murdoch Sunday Times tricked Brown's accountants into handing over financial details, the former prime minister alleges."

 

British regulators have put News Corp.'s potential acquisition of satellite broadcaster BSkyB on hold. "The British government referred News Corp.’s bid for British Sky Broadcasting to competition authorities for a review, in effect delaying a final decision for several months," the AP reports.

 

Fair, Balanced, and Breaking the Law? Seems this may be a corporate mentality.
