A Top British Leader Urges Murdoch to Drop TV Deal

Rupert Murdoch walked from a hotel to his apartment with his son James Murdoch, left, in central London.

LONDON — Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg on Monday became the most senior official to publicly urge Rupert Murdoch to drop a $12 billion bid by his embattled News Corporation for Britain’s most lucrative satellite broadcast company, British Sky Broadcasting, as the government sought advice on possible regulatory proceedings.

The developments deepened the fallout from The News of the World phone-hacking scandal that has been transformed from a long-simmering controversy into a full-blown crisis swirling around Mr. Murdoch’s British operation, News International, and its chief executive, Rebekah Brooks.

The Guardian reported Monday that journalists throughout the News International empire harassed Gordon Brown over more than 10 years, first as chancellor of the exchequer and later as the Labour prime minister. They tried not only to hack into his voice mail, but also resorted to various underhanded methods to gain access to his bank account, legal files and his family’s medical records, the paper reported.

The furor that has rocked the British establishment erupted last week with reports that The News of the World, the top-selling Sunday tabloid in Mr. Murdoch’s British media empire, hacked into the voice mail of Milly Dowler, a 13-year-old girl who was abducted and murdered in 2002, after she disappeared but before her body was found.

Such was the public outcry against the 168-year-old newspaper that Mr. Murdoch’s family ordered it closed after its final edition appeared on Sunday. Many commentators in Britain saw the closing of the paper as a move to cauterize the phone-hacking crisis and save the bid for the much more profitable British Sky Broadcasting.

Ms. Dowler’s parents met on Monday with Mr. Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrats, the junior partner in Prime Minister David Cameron’s coalition government. The encounter raised the pressure on Mr. Murdoch, who flew into London on Sunday to take charge of his company’s response to the crisis.

Phone hacking: Parties to unite over BSkyB bid call
 

The UK's main political parties are set to unite to urge Rupert Murdoch to drop his bid to buy broadcaster BSkyB.

The Tories and Lib Dems are expected to back a Labour motion calling for Mr Murdoch's News Corporation to withdraw the bid while phone hacking at the News of the World is investigated.

The move could ramp up pressure on the media mogul but is not legally binding.

Prime Minister David Cameron is also set to outline to the Commons the remit of a public inquiry into hacking.

His statement will be followed by a Commons debate, which the prime minister will not be attending, Downing Street said.

His spokesman said Mr Cameron would vote - if it came to one - "providing his diary allows".

The support for the motion comes after Mr Cameron met Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and Labour leader Ed Miliband at Downing Street to discuss the hacking scandal on Tuesday.

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson is believed to have updated the three men on the current state of the police inquiry into hacking claims when he visited Number 10.

Among the signatories of the motion are the SNP, Plaid Cymru and the Green party.

Murdoch is about as popular as a fart in a spacesuit right now.

Nice one,:haha:

Never liked him I wish he would just piss off to where he came or even better just crawl under a rock and die :yep:

And here we go:

Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation has announced that it is dropping its planned bid to take full ownership of satellite broadcaster BSkyB.
The announcement came as the House of Commons was preparing to vote for a motion calling on Mr Murdoch to do so.
All three major party leaders had said they supported the motion, which would not be legally binding on News Corp.
The decision follows days of allegations about phone hacking by News Corp subsidiary News International.
"We believed that the proposed acquisition of BSkyB by News Corporation would benefit both companies, but it has become clear that it is too difficult to progress in this climate," said News Corp deputy chairman and president Chase Carey in a statement.
"News Corporation remains a committed long-term shareholder in BSkyB. We are proud of the success it has achieved and our contribution to it."
BSkyB's share price briefly dropped following the announcement to about 4% down for the day, before recovering.
The company has fallen some 20% since peaking a week ago, and is trading at a level not seen since News Corp first announced its bid plans in June last year.
A spokesman for Prime Minister David Cameron welcomed the news: "As the prime minister has said, the business should focus on clearing up the mess and getting its own house in order."
The Labour leader, Ed Miliband, called it "a victory for people up and down this country who have been appalled by the revelations of the phone hacking scandal and the failure of News International to take responsibility".
The BBC's business editor Robert Peston said: "It's a huge humiliation. This was [News Corp's] biggest investment plan of the moment. It was one of the biggest investments they've ever wanted to make.
