Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal

Quote:
Mr. Hinton, a long-time confidant of Mr. Murdoch, ran News International, the British publishing subsidiary of Mr. Murdoch’s News Corporation, from 1997 to 2005, during the time when the phone hacking that touched off the scandal took place.
Mr. Hinton has said repeatedly he was unaware that people working for The News of the World, a Sunday tabloid that Mr. Murdoch recently shut down to help contain the growing crisis, were illegally accessing private voice mail messages. In his resignation letter to Mr. Murdoch, Mr. Hinton acknowledged that he ultimately bore responsibility for the company.
“That I was ignorant of what apparently happened is irrelevant and in the circumstances I feel it is proper for me to resign from News Corp, and apologize to those hurt by the actions of the News of the World,” he wrote in his resignation letter to Mr. Murdoch.
