Murdochs millions buys ignorance... sometimes

The News Corporation seems determined to take Britain and the US down
a similar path. But now, at least in Britain, the political class is
in revolt. Prime Minister David Cameron – who previously cultivated
close ties with News Corporation leaders, even employing as his press
secretary The News of the World's former editor, who was recently
arrested for his role in the scandal – called the phone hacking
"disgusting.

James Murdoch, Rupert's son and Chairman and Chief Executive of News
Corporation's European and Asian operations, authorized a secret
payment of £1 million ($1.6 million) to buy the silence of hacking
victims.
