This is all Piers Morgan has to say, as another 'Murdock insider' and News Corp. Editor?
He knows Murdoch & Brooks personally, he was working with these people a couple of years ago, they even called him to testify. Maybe he was involved. Seems so odd he is silent.
He surely know influence peddling and scandal papers in London,
better than he knows the situation of urban, blacks in America.
Still no update from PM- Need to Know News.
So here goes, Bloomberg is a good source:
Last July (2011) when London prosecutors claim Rebekah Brooks was attempting to hide seven boxes of relevant evidence from a police probe, the former top lieutenant of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. was dealing with the crisis point of the phone-hacking scandal under investigation. According to the Crown Prosecution Service, Brooks allegedly conspired with Cheryl Carter, her personal assistant, to remove the boxes from the premises of News International, the News Corp. U.K. unit she headed, between Wednesday July 6 and Saturday July 9, 2011. News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch was photographed with Rebekah Brooks in London in July, 2011. News International and the London Metropolitan Police Service, which has been collecting evidence related to phone- hacking and other illegal activities at Murdoch-owned newspapers in the U.K., declined to comment on the contents of the boxes or to explain how they know about their removal.
Why doesn't Piers ask his old boss what was in the 7 boxes, Rebekah removed for him BEFORE she was fired and the paper shut down?
OR you could do another fluff interview.
Still no update from PM- Need to Know News.
So here goes, Reuters is a good source:
Harry Evans told a British media inquiry how as editor of the Times he battled attempts by Murdoch to compel him to support British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Expressing disgust at a fall in journalistic standards that he said Murdoch helped stoke by fostering a culture of trifling scandal, Evans said reporters needed principles to prevent them getting too close to the powerful. Evans edited the Sunday Times from 1967-1981. He agreed to edit the Times when offered the job by Murdoch but he only lasted a year. He stood down in 1982 in protest against what he saw as Murdoch's interference in editorial policy.
Somebody essentially help to make seriously posts I would state. That is the first time I frequented your web page and to this point? I amazed with the analysis you made to create this actual post extraordinary. Magnificent activity!
Hey there, You've performed an excellent job. I'll certainly digg it and in my opinion recommend to my friends. I am confident they will be benefited from this site.
An initial public offering (IPO) or stock market launch is a type of public offering where shares of stock in a company are sold to the general public, on a securities exchange, for the first time. Through this process, a private company transforms into a public company. Initial public offerings are used by companies to raise expansion capital, to possibly monetize the investments of early private investors, and to become publicly traded enterprises. A company selling shares is never required to repay the capital to its public investors. After the IPO, when shares trade freely in the open market, money passes between public investors. Although an IPO offers many advantages, there are also significant disadvantages.`'"
