Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal

Quote:
Andy Coulson was just a little too indiscreet, telling a handful of colleagues at Conservative campaign headquarters that he was still receiving substantial severance payments from News International months after he joined as David Cameron's aide and the party's director of communications in May 2007. His new salary was reported to be £275,000.
What Coulson said stayed quiet for years but finally enough of the story reached the BBC's Robert Peston about a week ago for him to try to broadcast what he knew. However, News International was not prepared to co-operate, or at least confirm the outlines of his story, until Tuesday – a behind-the-scenes battle for clarification that suggests the revelation was not leaked to Peston on a day when Libya would be guaranteed to dominate the news.
