CNN here in the US has really started attacking Fox News for their
"unfair & unbalanced tabloid news".  Fox News is owned by News Corp.
You Brits on the list should know the name Rupert Murdock.  Yeah,
"that" Rupert Murdock.  The man who could go to prison if the evidence
the court ordered the police to turn over implicates him in the whole
newspaper cell phone hacking scheme.  The one where cell phones of
members of parliament were hacked.  Yeah, serious shit, the kind that
could destroy his media empire.  If you don't know what I'm talking
about look at this...

That's an old article, but its not over yet.  Scottland Yard has been
withholding the evidence the court wants because they've been getting
pay-offs, but now the court has put its foot down and serious
repercussions will result if they don't comply by the deadline.  Which
if I remember isn't far off.  I'm going to need to get me some
popcorn, this is going to be a fun show.
