The news corporation's hold on British media has been broken? Murdoch no longer has control of the corporation and its holdings in the UK?

Color me skeptical. And even more skeptical that even if somehow his holdings in the UK all crash and burn, even if they were to issue an order to send him straight to jail, and even if Australia were to follow suite, that it would change anything in the US. Or that our government would allow him to be taken off to jail. Ever. Anywhere.
