In what was is removing Vince Cable from this decision process giving in to Murdoch?
The only alternative I can envisage would have been to fire Vince Cable from BiS.

As to the issue of media plurality while the BBC and the other sources of news exist it's tricky to see how this claim can be justified.
Ofcom was a New Labour infested mess of an overly bloated, inefficient and overly meddling QUANGO. Staffed by New Labourites, run by New Labourites to New Labourite policy. It has often been described as a most New Labour organisation and for very good reason, it was quite inevitable that it would be changed and frankly change was desperately needed. It being changed is nothing to do with Murdoch.
Nice partisan comments though
