Rupert Murdoch not fit to run business, UK lawmakers rule - CNN.com

Leveson conclusion: Rupert Murdoch ‘not a fit person’ to run News Corp. | Poynter.

Quote:

The ruling could affect Rupert Murdoch’s ability to hold a broadcasting license in the U.K. Ofcom, which regulates communications industries in Britain, issued a statement saying it “has a duty under the Broadcasting Acts 1990 and 1996 to be satisfied that any person holding a broadcasting licence is, and remains, fit and proper to do so. Ofcom is continuing to assess the evidence – including the new and emerging evidence – that may assist it in discharging these duties.”

Love this, and love the kicking the media has been getting lately for all of their unethical practises. And Ollie's in trouble too; Cameron's looking less smug as each revelation comes out.

The same can be said about a number of corporations in america; but let's cover some of the media ones first.

Ted Turner and CNN? ...And who else would put Robin Meade on a nationwide type of newscast?

CBS national news. And how Katie Couric essentially bought her way onto the evening news for a while. Or the fact that about half of their news division is seriously out of touch.

ABC in general... Wondering what their hiring proces is like - it's more geared towards entertainment than anything else
