How Does Murdoch Survive This?



He can try and argue that he was ignorant of the crimes; but he cannot deny responsibility for the cover-up. And a classic cover-up it was. A critical piece of evidence, http://www.propublica.org/documents/item/231997-clive-goodman-letter-submitted-by-news-corp a letter from one of their chief phone-hackers, was edited to remove the money parts:

As Marian Wang, a blogger for ProPublica, points out, another copy of Mr. Goodman’s letter was also supplied to the parliamentary committee by News International, in response to a request from the panel. What is most interesting about the version that News International produced is that it omits more than just names from the letter — two entire sections of Mr. Goodman’s letter are missing. Both sections relate to Mr. Goodman’s claim that the newspaper’s editor, Mr. Coulson, and its senior lawyer, Tom Crone, had assured the reporter that he would not lose his job as long as he “did not implicate the paper or any of its staff,” during his trial.

1. But, will this lead to any actions or is it just words in an article. Sorry, I'm just so frustrated
with the so called authorities prosecuting criminal activity.
