"You don't need more than one Murdoch in charge".
That is what a senior News Corporation executive said to me in explanation for why James Murdoch has quit as chairman of News International, the UK operations of the Murdochs' News Corporation.
What he meant is that Rupert Murdoch, with the launch of The Sun on Sunday, is showing that he is back overseeing the group's British newspapers.
Hmm! Then there will be no one else to carry the can/be a sacrificial lamb.

Don't panic everyone. In a few short weeks he'll be relaunched as James Murdoch on Sunday. :p:
He is still in charge of BSkyB! :D

He will also take over from his Dad! :D

Remember He is Michael and his father is Vito!

James Murdoch rejoins News International as James Murdoch on Sunday

He will continue to oversee the operations of the discredited media empire, but due to his name change is now totally dissociated from the massive web of phone-hacking and corruption that led to his resignation.

Two journalists at The Sun have reportedly been hospitalised after apparent suicide attempts.

A source told the Evening Standard that Rupert Murdoch has ordered News International to pay for the medical expenses for the reporters.

The alleged incidents occur amid investigations into alleged bribery of public officials by journalists at The Sun, which has led to the arrests of 11 current and former staff at the paper.

Three sources also confirmed to Reuters the alleged suicide attempt by two senior reporters.

Looks like they are starting to implode in the company . I do hope that the peeps and the families get the help needed (although that I hate the journalists that were involved in all of this)

Robert Quick, formerly Britain's top counter-terrorism officer, has alleged that his senior Scotland Yard colleagues buckled under Conservative party pressure and withdrew their support for an investigation of a Tory frontbench spokesman who had received leaks which allegedly endangered national security.
Quick told the Leveson inquiry on Wednesday that the arrest in 2008 of the Conservative immigration spokesperson, Damian Green, sparked outrage from senior Tories and Conservative-leaning papers. Quick said the furore led the then acting commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson to ask him to halt the criminal investigation.

Quote:
The attorney general is examining whether the head of Scotland Yard's investigation into illegal news gathering has prejudiced fair trials for any journalists involved through her evidence to the Leveson inquiry.
Dominic Grieve's office is scrutinising the testimony made by Deputy Assistant Commissioner Sue Akers 10 days ago amid concerns that her comments were potentially in contempt of court.
Quote:
The Guardian understands the attorney general has received at least one complaint raising concerns that Akers's evidence – given in the midst of a criminal inquiry – could be in breach of the Contempt of Court Act and could prejudice further legal action against any of the individuals arrested. Lawyers for the attorney are investigating.
Interesting turn of developments.I wonder who thought it was worth turning to the Attorney General?

Oh the irony if the inquiry frees those arrested.

I am not especially concerned with the foot soliders in this. I still am concerned at those in the higher reaches of the police service that allowed News International such leeway and didn't investigate them when The Guardian broke the story in '09.

So it should. There aren't many mainstream publications defending our democracy as The Guardian is doing.

You could argue that The Telegraph did well out of the MP's expenses scandal then, and broke the law in doing so. Good for them, and us.

None of these cases compares with the grossly offensive act of making money out of hacking murder victim's phones or indeed cashing in on Paris Hilton's chihuahua.

Certainly the media (and the UK) should be more like The Guardian, Telegraph, BBC and Channel 4 and less like The Sun, Daily Mail, Daily Express, Sky, ITV and Channel 5
