Ignited in the United Kingdom's "World News" phone tapping scandal, appeared in the Murdoch parliamentary hearing on Tuesday that "life in the most humble of the day", it seems that the climax is over. Focus of media attention, by the telephone tapping case, turn to the Prime Minister Cameron.
The reason why the climax is over, Murdoch is able to escape hearing the robbery. In addition to his leak of the verbal exchanges, should be attributed to the "Tiger's wife," Deng's rise to protect her husband that slap. With the local media as saying that Murdoch's pay big bucks to hire public relations consultants, are not the Deng useful spot to play. Suddenly, the focus of all media to focus on China, "Hu's wife," who talked about, enough, Murdoch can be calm to get out from under the spotlight. Snapshots into a theme, the theme into the background, the hearing may become a farce. Good show seems hastily, in addition to complain that "lack of brain string" comedian, the only sigh Murdoch press played a populist concept of self-direction, and good results.
Orgasm rush over, has only been "wife tiger," the gossip news? May not at all. Parliament the day after the hearing, the vanguard of Murdoch hot pursuit "Guardian" columnist Jinken Si published a long article, a normal anti-newspaper. Author begins with rap said: Britain crazy, or at least in that small area, the Parliament is crazy, fanatical sense lost, thought lost to the imagination. Authors said, even though politicians and the media out of so many problems, but to kill it? Crash it? The British have a financial collapse, epidemics, earthquakes or famine? Many people homeless? "This is not Berlin Wall, not the Nuremberg trials, "not" stupid hysterical. " The author is the record straight, said Murdoch, Murdoch's creativity is not the entire media industry will be better than now. End of the article have suggested that perhaps the current show great British political and media resources should be directed to the UK, Europe and the world's tragic situation. Coincidentally, the BBC's international news is Murdoch's main rival, the president of Thompson 22 in international news company's "Times" published on the column, called "news reporters must be allowed to break the rules." for the telephone tapping scandal brought to the British investigative journalism questioned defend themselves.
Media, these moves are not gratuitous. Face pressure from all sides, Prime Minister Cameron has pledged to introduce new media management approach, one of the important changes include the dissolution of the existing press set up their own newspaper industry regulators Complaints Commission, the introduction of a regulatory nature of the regulatory requirements, New composition of the media industry and beyond the power of a larger regulatory agencies, more strictly regulate and monitor the media ethics and codes of conduct. Murdoch after "the most humble of the day" has been moved down, the threat of competition no longer exists, other media continue to go after the massive down, I am afraid it will become victims to the detriment of their own, with "The Times" Prior to complain saying that we all live in glass houses. Paizhuan others, there is no guarantee others will not be shot back to the brick house broken glass. Therefore, the media these days about the topic of press freedom increased, reports of famine in Africa pay attention to it, the debt crisis of the European exclaimed big up.
In politics, and this echoes the Conservative Party lawmakers in the Murdoch hopeless situation, the advocate not to dwell on the phone tapping incident, but the main focus should be placed in the European debt and economic issues. Thus, Murdoch out of the media focus. However, the opposition Labour Party held under the wiretapping incident is focused on the impact of Cameron, his relationship with the Murdoch media empire is becoming the focus of the event follow-up development. The reason why the Conservative Party leader David Cameron's election victory over Labour in the last year, an important reason is that Murdoch's media to give the Labor Party in favor of the Conservative Party.
Cameron facing problems on several fronts. First, the "News of the World," the former editor of the Curzon involved in the eavesdropping incident, bribe the police, why should Cameron Curzon appointment as prime minister spokesman, into the core of power? Curzon was appointed only when the minimum acceptable level of security review, and in accordance with his position, access to confidential, he should accept a higher level of security clearance, which is why, and who approved? Cameron did not issue a formal apology on the appointment of Coulson, said he of the Curzon behavior and knowledge, if after the next, did not consider him. Review of the safety issue, so far no clear answer.
Second, Cameron and his cabinet members and the Murdoch media empire, how deep the relationship in the end? From coming to power in May 2010, after a little more than a year's time, Cameron and Murdoch, Murdoch's son James, three confidants Brooks met 26 times, more than Cameron and met with representatives of the United Kingdom the number of all other media combined. Most of the Prime Minister met the Prime Minister's country house or carried out, Murdoch also urge the more secluded back door and out from the Prime Minister's Office, Brooks has twice been invited to individual meetings the Prime Minister House and Cameron, Curzon in January resigned because of scandals involving eavesdropping on Prime Minister post of news director, also met with Cameron in March. If Cameron's cabinet members and senior staff Murdoch's News Corp. meeting came in the calculation, then Cameron Murdoch interaction between the government and it is amazing.
Third, Cameron and Rupert Murdoch and his men then met several times, there is no talk about Murdoch's acquisition of Sky Broadcasting? Face nine Labour MPs on the issue of questioning, none of Cameron answer directly, but obliquely, evasive.
Recently, some polls showed Cameron the Conservative Party still get the vast majority of support within its support rate higher than the Labor Party leader and Deputy Prime Minister Craig David Miliband. Some analysts here believe that if no other accident, Cameron could do apologize, but not if the Labor Party was required to step down. Currently the UK is on the phone tapping incident two hearings and two police investigations. From the previous situation, the purpose of the hearing itself, the results achieved are often superficial, nothing. Some media comments also pointed out that two and a half after the Watergate investigation was to obtain results, tapping the door of the investigation lasted longer, it is hard not disclosing irreparably, is no guarantee that Cameron is not a heart disease.
