The Media Baron Rupert Murdoch is being questioned by the British Parliament to-day.( Live coverage has been blogged)
The story of how avarice and lust for fame has driven people to the height of depravity unfolds below.
JULY 18: Sean Hoare, a former reporter for the News Of The World who blew the whistle on the extent of phone hacking at the paper has been found dead at his home.
:: Rebekah Brooks‘ lawyer has denied she is guilty of “any criminal offence” as she prepares to appear before a group of MPs investigating the phone-hacking scandal.
:: The Prime Minister has said Parliament will meet on Wednesday to discuss the phone-hacking scandal after Britain’s top police officer resigned, delaying the summer recess.
Rupert Murdoch is referred to as RM and his son James JM. Rebekah Brooks is referred to as RB.
JM: It is a matter of great regret, my father’s, and everybody at News Corp and these are standards that these actions do not live up to, the standards that our company tries to live up to all around the world.
JM: It is our intention to put these things right, to make sure they don’t happen again.
James Murdoch: ‘If we were to do it again I’d still make the payments, but I’d go to the police next time.’ Incredible they didn’t go to the police the first time.

News Corp. Watch:
James: I was aware that the settlement was for damages from illegal activites.
It is obvious that the document which was submitted by the Finance Ministry on July 7th was aired on 7th July,could not have been obtained by legal means.
When the transgression is severe the chase is also likely to be by devious and unlawful route.
On the other hand ,what about Burkha Dutt,Virsanghivi ,who among others, have confabulated with Nira Radia fixing Cabinet berths in India?
The British Media has welcomed the move to shut down News of the World.
What about the Indian Counter parts on these transgressing journalists?
Apart from the ethics of divulging confidential information, Myspace has the cheek to say ‘data can not identify a person’
If so, how are they are marketing advertising space?
Is it that advertisers go in without knowing which profiles they are addressing to?
If so, it is the most stupid thing to advertise with out data.
Note that Myspace has not denied divulging information .
Story.
MySpace has been sharing with its advertisers data that can be used to identify user profile pages, but the company doesn’t consider that to be a problem.The company said it did not consider the data to be information that could identify a person, partly because MySpace doesn’t require members to use their real names. The social networking site acknowledged transmitting information to advertisers that included a user ID and the last page viewed before a user clicked on an ad.
