    (and possibly lover) Rupert Murdoch

    No one has ever needed to see this word combination.

    It'll be interesting to see what News Corp's stock price does tomorrow. If I was a shareholder, I'd be none too happy about this.

      If you are a shareholder of NewsCorp and this is the one thing that upsets you then you have weird priorities.

      She isn't any more guilty than the rest of the higher ups. And it is an area she has experience in.

      True, it just seems like this is the kind of thing a public company would at least pretend to try and distance itself from, as inauthentic as such a move would be.

    So does the implication in the headline mean that everyone who is found not guilty of a crime is by default "disgraced?"

    I hate Murdoch's media scum empire as much as the next guy, but near as I can figure, not guilty means, um, not guilty

      "disgraced" isn't a legal term...

      You're confusing not guilty with innocent.

      OJ Simpson was found "not guilty" in the murder of his wife.
      Daniel Pantaleo was found "not guilty" in the death of Eric Gartner
      (and if you're a conservative) Bill Ayers was found "not guilty"

      I would view all of them as disgraced.

    "It is understood her husband, who was also acquitted of charges linked to Brooks's arrest, is hoping to relaunch his career in the horse-racing business in the U.S.," The Guardian reports.

    Now that sounds like a classy guy. When I think classy, I think horse races and gambling. And dollar hot dogs.

      Yeah, Horse Racing in the UK is quite upper class, it's part of "the season" in the social calender. I mean what isn't classy is the bestiality found on the computer he threw away before the Police came to search their house.

    Why not? It's not as if he actually regrets breaking the law. Her temporary dismissal was just part of the cost of doing business.

    Of course, that's clear evidence that the cost of doing business illegally is not nearly as steep as it needs to be. Individuals who commit felonies and are put behind bars are usually ruined, both financially and in reputation. The same kind of severe consequences should follow for companies that refuse to play fair.

      ...but companies often have policies against breaking the law, so they shouldn't be held responsible unless there's overwhelming evidence that most persons are willfully violating that policy*

    Okay so Nigella Lawson admits she does Cocaine and gets denied entry to the United States but Rebekah Brooks authorizes phone hacking and invades privacy of countless celebrities and her hired goons interfere with a police investigation by deleting voice mails of Milly Dowler, and she gets a fucking work visa?

    Come on America, there are millions of people dying to come to your county to work who are more deserving than this cow. Give it to someone else.

    On the plus side, it will be fun to watch her ego crumble as she'll have no power and can hardly threaten anyone like she did when she ran NOTW. Have fun not getting reservations at Jean Georges sweetie.
