Murdochian is a synonym of sorts for "lying scoundrel" - it may well be that none broke ranks after the conference - but the skulduggery of the Murdoch mischief-maker putting 2+7 together and getting a muckraking story was how it probably happened (unless they have blackmailing claws into one or other of the attendees). Thanks, Amy McQuire - for the piece from Prof Chelsea WATEGO - and for your own sterling introduction... Jim Kable

The Murdoch media's lying and manipulations was exposed in the UK in 2012 in the book, "Dial M For Murdoch, News corporation and the corruption of Britain". Murdoch had to appear at an inquiry but got off, one of his chief editors fell hard for him and did time. What was done to you was dirty, but small time compared to what they can do, have done and are still doing. Did you report it the the ABC's Media Watch?

Some more about what Murdoch got up to in the UK, why he is not welcome there and prefers NY. Dial M revealed the relationship between newspapers belonging to Rupert Murdoch's News International and senior British politicians and police officers, and how the company allegedly used its political influence to mask illegal newsgathering techniques at its London HQ. It included phone, bugging, blackmail, hacking, following and harassing targets.

Any dirty play should be reported to the media ethics people and Media Watch. people
