A lesson from the Master

As goes Rupert:

Scotland Yard has accepted for the first time the extent of the phone-hacking scandal when it told a court the number of potential victims whose voicemails were targeted by the News of the World is likely to be "substantially" more than 91.

A high court hearing to timetable and organise the growing civil claims for damages against Rupert Murdoch's News International heard that the new police investigation believed the scale of potential victims was much higher than leading officers had previously said.


So goes his greatest student:

The small-town newspapers in New York's Hudson Valley that Fox News chief Roger Ailes owns with his wife Elizabeth are in a staff revolt after employees caught Ailes spying on them with News Corp. security goons.

all I can say, is keep digging... you know damned well that there's a much bigger story here in the US than Ailes using Murdochs goons to spy on his own employees...

ok, finished reading the Ailes story... uuuuuggghhh.

already knew Ailes was a sociopath, but DAMN... young editor needs to move somewhere FAR AWAY or he'll find himself strapped to an altar at midnight with both Mr. and Mrs. Ailes straddling him...
