I have tried to understand why all of a sudden everybody cares about Rupert Murdoch. Politicians have known for decades about what was going on. They feign ignorance only to protect their own hides. All of a sudden everybody focuses on Rupert Murdoch even though they knew for a long time what he was and what his companies were doing. I can find only two explanations for this. First, maybe Rupert Murdoch made powerful enemies. People even more powerful than him could be trying to bring him down. Powerful people can be vindictive, specially when it comes to power struggles. Second, maybe somebody is trying to block the acquisition of BSkyB. A bigger rival company might be trying to acquire BSkyB and they are trying to eliminate Murdoch's bid. In the next few weeks we will see some other company acquire BSkyB. At that point we will see how had a vested interest in ruining Murdoch. Of course, it could be a combination of the two factors. A powerful enemy trying to bring down Murdoch's empire and block his acquisition of BSkyB. Then that enemy rising to the top over Murdoch's empire's ashes.

I wish these hypocrites would stop playing games and just be straight forward and honest. The worst thing of all is to see politicians coming out playing the "open government" and "transparency" game. I will believe that BS on the day when intelligence agencies and the police stop spying on people.
