Associated Press reports that a publication owned by right-wing media pirate Rupert "Arrrg" Murdoch is being investigated by Scotland Yard for illegally hacking into the private cell phones of hundreds of British celebrities and politicians. The trash rag being investigated, "News of the World," is owned by Arrrg's company News Corp. A major element to the story is that News of the World apparently has paid nearly $2 million dollars in out-of-court settlements to some of the victims to keep the story quiet, payments which Arrrg claims to know nothing about.
Question: Does anyone believe that Arrrg himself was unaware of $2 million in hush payments? Riiiight, matey!
