Maybe they should ask the Brits how good of an idea it is to let the Murdoch family own anything.

British Panel in Hacking Case Finds Murdoch Unfit as News Titan

Do you not think the NYT have taken the “not a fit person” somewhat out of context, or at the very least re-hashed the original ruling over the BSkyB bid?

Not that I'm arguing the point in the least.

I did notice somewhere that Louise Mensch, who was one of four on the committee who saved Murdoch's bacon, has, as predicted, taken up employment with News Corp in the US.
