A summary of the latest news in the ever-widening News Corp. scandal:
- The end of an era? Maybe. Maybe not.
RupertJames Murdoch may be questioned by police "at least as a witness."- A computer from arrested News International head Rebekah Brooks' house found thrown in trash bin near her house: her husband claims it was "accidental."
- News of the World whistleblower found dead; "not thought to be suspicious."
- David Cameron has called a special session of Parliament regarding the fast-moving scandal.
- It's beginning to be difficult to keep track of how many arrests and resignations there have been. It's like a game of Clue in which all the characters did it.
- The Wall Street Journal (a News Corp. company) releases an editorial telling people to stop picking on (i.e. investigating) News Corp. because it's mean.
- Fred Hiatt's rag is a bit crabby about it too. Or at least intends to give it a nice bland slathering of he-said, she-said. Doesn't every story need a good he-said, she-said entry?
