More on Murdoch Scandal

link here to article

This article provides more information on the scandal in the UK regarding the illegal practices of the Murdoch papers which include the prestigious Sunday Times in addition to his two tabloids. This kind of activity not only endangers the people whose privacy was illegally violated but it is a danger to government itself. Murdoch has used his power to gain favors from government officials by adapting its coverage of them in return. I don't think that this is what is intended by laws which protect the freedom of the press.
