Apology accepted Mr. Murdoch, sir. Now can I have a job? (I know you probably own this site)

"We" are sorry? This pompous donkey's behind thinks he speaks for his entire staff! How about "I" Rupert Murdoch, am sorry? And what EXACTLY are you sorry for?

I think first you might apologize for those lost 200 jobs that you sacrificed as a personal CYA measure.

And does your sorry translate into no more non-disclosure agreements shouldered on your employees? Does that sorry include no longer making deals with politicians on what you print and what you do not? Are you sorry for forcing your employees to lie and for taking them to court for failing to lie? Are you sorry for all those fabrications and dirty tactics? Are you sorry for your immorality or the law breaking of what you claim was only a few individuals, or are you just sorry its all come to light?

Sorry, but sorry from a guy like you, so low he even passes the buck within the context of his sorry, is just not good enough. You belong in a jail cell Mr. Murdock. And even then, I don't think you will be truly sorry.

I'm sure he's sorry his business deal fell through and that his company's stocks have plummeted. Sorry for all the monkey business? I somehow doubt that.

Sad reflection of modern life that they have to hire a PR company to tell them how to say sorry; must give you an idea how sincere these 'apologies' really are; desperate corporate spin-doctoring to prop up his shareholder value and personal fortune...

Newspaper analyst Ken Doctor said the departures of Brooks and Hinton show Murdoch is “trying to build a firewall between the past and the future of News Corp.”

In order to accomplish that, Murdoch should invest in that flash technology seen in Men in Black which erases memory. It could be an offshoot of the technology that has erased millions of brain cells of those who have endured continuous exposure to it: Faux News.

We are sorry we got caught. We are sorry for this minor annoyance. We will be really, really sorry if our profits take a beating. We're not sorry for any invasions of privacy, or our lies, slander and calumnies -- that's what our readers expect and we don't want to let them down.

I'm sorry (that I I got caught).

Looks like it is going to get pretty ugly. The focus will stay on News Corp. but my guess is the British government will fall under the microscope more in the coming weeks. And they are the ones who are doing the investigation. There are probably quite a few people having trouble sleeping these days....
