Murdoch Phone Hacking Scandal

This was one of the hottest news that landed on almost all the front pages of the major magazines and newspaper of the world in July 2011. I have been planning to write a blog post about it but it is only now that I have the time. I believe that this issue deserve a blog post and should never be ignored in this blog because the Murdoch Phone Hacking Scandal is one the biggest scandals that ever hit the world.

The Murdochs own a big media empire that include the Fox TV, Harper Collins, 20th Century Fox, The Wall Street Journal, New York Post and the British News of the Word;. There are allegations that Murdoch's News ot the World was involved in phone hacking to get access to private information of the victims. These allegations include the alleged hiring of Murdoch of criminals, professionals and experts to carry out the illicit task.

There are also reports that alledge Murdoch of bribing the British police to access private information from private and public individuals. One of these allegations is the attempted phone hacking against the Britain's Royal Family that includes  Prince Charles. There have been allegations in the past regarding this type illegal activities of Murdoch but it is only now that this issue hit the global scale when the phone messages  of the girl who died of murder was hacked and had the messages deleted which led her parents to believe that she was still alive.
