Phonegate

Rupert Murdoch is flying into London to deal with the" Phonegate" scandal at his News of the World publication.
Murdoch's interests stretches all around the world, would be Presidents and Prime -ministers  seek out his endorsement if they want to be elected or reelected. He is a powerful man. He backed wars, and swayed public opinion but suddenly a hacking scandal could jeopardize his media empire .
He announced he will shut down his most successful Sunday paper this week in an effort not to derail his Satellite TV ambitions as he awaits control over BSkyB.
Hundreds will lose their jobs, former editors have been arrested and the cynical amongst us think he will wait a few months and launch a reinvented version of the paper. Others think he might focus more on the growing Indian and Chinese markets, but whatever he does he will no doubt be ruthless.
What surprises most people is he did not sack his editor Rebeekah Brooks despite it being the obvious choice. I wonder who she is sleeping with?
