Editor's Note Murdoch's Media empire is a pillar of the Zionist Empire media. It has been used to advance the Zionist Empire agenda: Staunch defense of the Israeli Apartheid occupation regime, incitements against Arabs and Muslims, and blackmails of politicians in US-EU to (through character assassination) to keep them in line with regard to the Zionist global agenda.

The British establishment’s ties to Rupert Murdoch came under renewed scrutiny Sunday as he made a second public apology for phone hacking and warned those responsible had “no place to hide”.
The media baron’s latest attempt to stem the crisis caused by the scandal-hit News of the World appeared to fall on deaf ears, however, as opposition Labour leader Ed Miliband called for his British empire to be dismantled.
Miliband told The Observer that politicians should look at the situation, saying: “I think it’s unhealthy because that amount of power in one person’s hands has clearly led to abuses of power within his organisation.”
In the past week, Murdoch has closed the News of the World, abandoned his offer for control of pay-TV giant BSkyB and let go two of his top executives, Rebekah Brooks and Les Hinton, in a bid to control the crisis.
But still the scandal grows and Murdoch has this weekend taken out full-page adverts in most of Britain’s national newspapers apologising for the row.
After an ad saying “We are sorry” and signed by Murdoch appeared on Saturday, another version entitled “Putting right what’s gone wrong” appeared in Sunday’s newspapers on behalf of his British newspaper division, News International.
It promised to fully cooperate with police investigating the hacking, provide compensation for those targeted and clean up its act in future, adding: “There are no excuses and there should be no place to hide.”
Murdoch will give evidence to British lawmakers on Tuesday alongside his son and heir apparent, James Murdoch, and Rebekah Brooks, a former News of the World editor who quit as chief executive of News International on Friday.
They are expected to face a tough grilling not just about phone hacking, but also whether they sanctioned a cover-up, and whether journalists at their newspapers had also paid police officers for information.
Although the scandal has threatened to spread to the United States, where the FBI is investigating claims that Americans had their phones hacked, it came back to haunt the British establishment once again this weekend.
Prime Minister David Cameron was forced on the defensive after it emerged that he personally had 26 meetings in 15 months with key figures in Murdoch’s News Corp. and its British newspaper division, News International.
