. . . even if it happens after Murdoch already got what he wanted. Still, beggars can't be choosy. I had feared this one might go down the memory hole.
Late update: The FT weighs in - this scandal has legs: it may be the kind that causes governments to fall and applications for media domination (all part of the Murdoch plan to ensure the "plurality and independence of news provision") to be rejected faster than a police chief's dinner.
The big fish just need to be reeled in.
Later update: It's today's headline in the Observer. Hard to believe James Murdoch would be quite so stupid as to brag about "putting this problem in a box." Funny, I was reading about how Madoff only was able to carry on for so long only by compartmentalising, too. In any case, the chorus is growing louder: the Murdochs are not to be trusted with power.
