Not a Good Day for Murdoch


A Bit of Fry and Laurie have Murdoch pegged
First, he and his son try to blow off a summons to testify before Parliament, only to back down when threatened with jail time:
A threat of imprisonment by parliament forced Rupert Murdoch and his son James to perform a volte face and agree to give evidence next week to a Commons committee investigating why News International executives provided false information to MPs.

Hours after the parliamentary authorities delivered a summons by hand to the two Murdochs, News International announced that father and son would accept an invitation to appear before the Commons culture select committee next Tuesday.
Additionally, the FBI has initiated an investigation of potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act as possibly hacking the phones of 911 victim's families.

It couldn't be happening to a more deserving group of people.
