Scandal : Inside the Murdoch Empire [videorecording] / Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
It has been called "The Murdoch Spring". A modern democracy freed from the grip of a foreign press baron by one astonishing newspaper story. For 30 years Rupert Murdoch has held sway over British Prime Ministers and politicians of all stripes have sought his favour. In Britain he controls 40 percent of the press, and a major television station. In the United States he owns The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post, the Fox television network, the Fox News on cable and the film studio Twentieth Century Fox. But when Britain's Guardian newspaper revealed that Murdoch journalists had hacked the phone of murdered schoolgirl, Milly Dowler, while police and family desperately searched for her, British politics was transformed in an instant.
