Quite right too, that she, and the others, be arrested. Disgraceful and illegal behaviour and knowledge of said behaviour. She must have known.

Good. Brooks is nothing but a low-life masquerading as a "journalist". She demonstrated a complete lack of integrity since this incident first broke several years ago. And the sad thing is that she has had Murdoch's backing this whole time. Wonder if his son will fall as well? Only good news is that this happened before they got controlling interest in Sky TV.

"Labour Party leader Ed Miliband said Sunday that Murdoch has “too much power” in Britain and his share of media ownership should be reduced."

Hah ! Good luck getting Rupe to reduce power. He doesn't know anything about that.

This might lead to Murdoch himself getting arrested. One can only hope...

Murdoch's only real crime is supporting Conservatives. Why dont they call for arrests of CEO's who own companies that own media outlets when CNN or CBS or MSNBC gets caught doing illegal things? Which they have.

Hworta, that's potentially libelous. Post your proof. Please explain what illegal conduct occurred at CNN, CBS or MSNBC and how it can be traced to any CEOs.

Murdoch's crime is not supporting conservatives, newspapers have been doing that for a couple hundred years. But, Murdoch's wild-eyed, reactionary conservatives couldn't hold a candle to the principled William F. Buckley. Murdoch's worst offense, though, is the coarsening of everything he touches. Newspapers suffered, TV networks suffered, politics suffered. Everything became more base, more vulgar as his troops sleazed it up to appeal to the lowest common denominator, and I mean the lowest.

LOL. The irony of chewitup expecting Walter Duranty's paper to expose CNN. Man, you is funny.

Rupert Murdoch is eager to stop the crisis from spreading to the United States...,

If the allegations are true that his people hacked 9/11 victims phones, his trouble has officially spread to the United States.

Hey breitbart, how about getting back on topic and posting about Rupert Murdoch. Your attempts to obfuscate the subject are lame.

Hey breitbart, how about getting back on topic and posting about Rupert Murdoch.

I'd like to see Murdoch's influence in US media matters diminished.Like soros and adriana huffington he is not truly one of us.

Andrew Breitbart could then fill the void.
