The "bugging storm" spread across the United States.

When the scandal broke and News Corporation didn't respond, the Associated Press reported from a federal law enforcement official who didn't want to be named. The FBI has begun to investigate the reports of News Corporation's newspaper reporters eavesdropping on the phone of the victims of September 11.

According to the law enforcement official, the FBI usually "routinely investigates" public opinion focus events similar to eavesdropping scandals and high-profile events, and if the United States Congress requests an investigation, the FBI is "duty bound". In a public outcry, several members of Congress urged the government to investigate whether the hacking scandal had harmed American citizens.

Democratic senators Jay Rockefeller and Barbara Boxer urged the Department of justice to investigate whether News Corp. violated U.S. law...

In a separate letter to the attorney general, Democratic Senator Robert Menendez said that News Corp's newspapers "attempt to profit from information involving the victims' personal tragedy" and must investigate...

A day later, an anonymous source within the FBI revealed that the FBI had launched an investigation into News Corporation. From the top executive to the guard at the door, all the evidence of suspected violations would not be ignored.

Undercover, fishing, eavesdropping, paying for inside information...

Under the impetus of some interested people in the UK, the eavesdropping scandal began to ferment again. These days, it has almost become a synonym for News Corporation. Murdoch, who has made too many enemies, is also called "all British celebrities" by various media. Ha ha, your unyielding posture is bound to lead to new disputes. It's like a magic assist Andy picks up the remote control and turns off the TV. He has lost interest in watching.

In recent days, Andy can be said that he has been working hard to find ways to deal with News Corporation, and the resources he has used are definitely much more than those he used to deal with Ge last time. No matter from Washington or wall street, he has provoked British and American public opinion to set fire to News Corporation, and all kinds of bad news about News Corporation have almost filled the whole wall street, creating a pair of big news Xiamen is going to lean against News Corporation's share price.

The effect is obvious. In a few days, News Corporation's share price has plummeted 30%, and Andy Smith has definitely made a lot of money.

However, Andy is still not going to let the old fox go. Since he has been the enemy and has used so many resources, he doesn't mind giving Murdoch the most profound lesson.

Taking out his cell phone, Andy finds out the phone number of the editor in chief of the independent Li newspaper, dials it out, and the phone is soon connected. After skipping the greeting link, Andy directly opens his mouth and says, "release the evidence leaked by Scotland Yard (often referring to the London criminal investigation Office) to the news of the world..."

Just then, the door of the office was knocked.

"Come in --"

Andy covers the mobile phone microphone, looks at the door and says, the door is pushed open, and in comes the editor in chief of the Los Angeles Times. Andy nods to each other, points to the opposite chair, and beckons each other to sit first.

“。。。 I just want to expand the scope of Bo. According to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, it is illegal for American enterprises to bribe foreign officials to obtain business contracts. The headquarters of News Corporation is located in the United States. Since news corporation is suspected of bribing the British police, the U.S. Department of justice will never ignore it at this time! "

When John Carroll, the editor in chief who just sat down, heard this, he couldn't help but look at his boss with admiration. To be honest, he witnessed how his young boss turned his hand over to cloud cover his hand and worked for the whole news group. Before, he had heard about his boss's ruthless decision-making. Now he really regrets what is called ruthlessness.

Andy hangs up, looks at him admiringly with a smile on his face. John Carroll says, "John, what's up?"

"Well? Boss, this is the front page headline article written according to your requirements. If you have a look, I will sign it if there is no problem. " John Carroll said respectfully, taking care of himself and handing the folder to the boss.

"Oh?" Andy light oh, hand over the folder, quickly browse up.

“。。。 The Sunday Times, a traditional serious newspaper, once bugged Gordon Brown, a former British Prime Minister, and the sun and other media took part in the bugging of brown for as long as 10 years.

"Illegal access to news clues" seems to have become a "common behavior" and "hidden rule" of some media groups. The targets of eavesdropping are from Princes and nobles, dignitaries and dignitaries, to common people, distributed in all sectors of society. What's worse is that the media represented by the news of the world conceals and denies all kinds of eavesdropping, even pays the victim "sealing fee".

It is not hard to see from these facts that some media, which have always praised "freedom of the press", have wantonly violated citizens' privacy and other rights under the banner of "for the sake of the news, at all costs".

。。。。。。”

Reading the report, Andy nodded from time to time. I have to say that this review report is well founded, and the starting point of evaluation is very in place. There is no doubt about it at all.

"Good" Andy took the pen and looked up at John and said, "but I'll add another paragraph!"“。。。 Today, the scandal of eavesdropping and buying news has not been alleviated, but has evolved into a crisis of News Corporation. This also let us start to find out the real side of news group leader Murdoch and his newspaper.

Just two months ago, the group's U.S. news company settled charges of commercial espionage and anti competitive behavior for $665 million. But Murdoch let Paul carucci, then chairman and CEO of American news, stay in office.

According to the court documents disclosed, Mr. Paul kalucci blatantly warned a competitor, "if you step into any business, it will destroy you." He said he was "working for someone who wants everything, and who doesn't understand that people tell him he can't get it."

This is a real Murdoch. "

PA!

Andy's nib, a full stop, a satisfied smile, close the pen, put the retouched article, handed it to John Carroll and said, "just send it!"
