Murdoch caves in
Just heard that dirty Murdoch has withdrawn his bid to take over BSkyB. Good news indeed.

BBC News - News Corp withdraws bid for BSkyB

Guardian is reporting that he's considering selling all his newspaper interests in the 'UK'. Good news again, depending on who they go to.

Looks like the Brits are not going to let Murdoch get away with his sh-t any more. Good for them! Of course, Murdoch still has the USA to wrap around his little (middle?) finger. I wonder if Americans have the brains/balls to do anything about it.

The sooner the American citizens, father AND son, go back to their home country the better.

They have shat upon the Aussies (Murdoch Senior's country of birth), the British AND the Americans.

Now, if only they could take the poisoned Rebekah with them....

If they DO sell all the titles - then ANYONE would be better than the Murdochs.

She's currently helping police with their enquiries. Let's hope she'll be facing charges of corruption and trying to pervert the course of justice.

The only good thing about it is that Murdoch won't be getting BskyB. Can you imagine if he had got his hands on that? He'd have been like big brother.

Now the UK's most senior police officer has resigned because of his association with News international. Is this saga never going to end?
