Murdoch admits ‘I’ve let my father down’ as he makes emotional apology to Milly’s family

Pressure grew on his son James Murdoch, chairman of News Corporation, over ‘hush money’ payments he approved to phone hacking victims.

Hacking, bribes and now hush money. I’m trying to think of this objectively. If an American car manufacturer (or any other company) did this in Europe they’d be fucked. Maybe an oil company can get away with this in Africa but this is an American company fucking around with Europe. Murdoch’s toast.
