Not Fit

A British parliamentary report has said that media mogul Rupert Murdoch showed "willful blindness" over phone hacking at his News of the World tabloid and is not fit to run a major company.

"We conclude, therefore, that Rupert Murdoch is not a fit person to exercise the stewardship of a major international company," the cross-party culture committee said in its long-awaited report on the scandal on Tuesday.

The panel said it was now for parliament's lower House of Commons to decide "what punishment should be imposed" on those it thinks have treated the committee with contempt.

Murdoch has apologised for the scandal but told the Leveson inquiry into press ethics last week that senior staff at his British newspaper publisher had hidden the hacking scandal from him.

The 39-year-old James has also apologised for failing to get to the bottom of the scandal but said he was kept in the dark by staff at the paper.

Both Rupert and James Murdoch have put the blame on the journalists.

But of course they did.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
