However unlike in your nation Murdoch's company hasn't
been immune to criticism from politicians because all the parties are
afraid
to lose the support of the network--big difference.
So far as you know that is.

Wrong again sunshine. *The current President has openly (and correctly) said
Fox is the de facto publicity arm of the Republican Party, you couldn't
imagine a much better example of a politician speaking out against a news
organization than that. *That is in sharp contrast to what has happened in
your nation where politicians from all sides have been afraid of angering
Murdoch's media outlets even in the face of clear evidence of illegality.
You can wriggle all you like Harry, but it is painfully obvious your claim
"We hold ours to account" is complete nonsense. *Murdoch and the other press
thugs have been getting away with whatever they liked for many years, they
had the cops in their pocket too, your fairy tale to the contrary is
laughably unbelievable.

Murdoch is a naturalised US citizen, his son is a US citizen.
On the news this morning. The police here have discovered that NI/NC
has been hacking telephones/computers of 11/9 victims, many of them
American citizens. This has got US law enforcers interested as some
has apparently ocurred in the US. They are calling for an
investigation in America.
That seems to be the US connection at the moment
