More News Corp Trouble

News Corp.'s problems are now compounding themselves, as the British government is investigating influence between News Corp. and government employees in regard to the company's bid for BSkyB, with Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt denying improprieties and resisting calls to quit, but admitting that his assistant, who has quit, had some inappropriate communications with News Corp. Hunt will now face questions at an inquiry, as will Rupert Murdoch, who is even accused of influencing Margaret Thatcher back in the 1980s. Murdoch testified today.
