AG Eric Holder: Fully Investigate and Possibly Prosecute Rupert Murdoch
Bring the full power of the Justice Department to investigate - and if warranted, prosecute - Rupert Murdoch for his possible use here of the same criminal activities for which, in England, he has been officially censured and most of his top staff arrested.
Why is this important?
Through Murdoch's enormous media power, he has influenced policy by constantly banging the drums for war, runaway corporate power, and rampant privatization. Repeated studies also show that the millions of Fox News viewers are far more incorrectly informed of facts than the rest of the public - clearly due to the habitual falsehoods Fox generates, also documented in studies.
In England, Murdoch achieved enormous success, power, and influence - up to the top levels of government - through widespread bribery, phone hacking, and other criminal methods. Since his headquarters and major profits are in the USA, it would be foolish for us not to suspect his use of the same criminal methods.
