In reply to the discussion: Rupert Murdoch 'not fit' to lead major international company, MPs conclude [View all]T_i_B
(14,734 posts)2. From the Telegraph article.....
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/phone-hacking/9238358/MPs-phone-hacking-report-Rupert-Murdoch-not-fit-person-to-run-News-Corp.html
The report says: On the basis of the facts and evidence before the committee, we conclude that, if at all relevant times Rupert Murdoch did not take steps to become fully informed about phone-hacking, he turned a blind eye and exhibited wilful blindness to what was going on in his companies and publications.
This culture, we consider, permeated from the top throughout the organisation and speaks volumes about the lack of effective corporate governance at News Corporation and News International.
We conclude, therefore, that Rupert Murdoch is not a fit person to exercise the stewardship of a major international company.

It would seem they need to regulate that more so something like that doesn't happen.
