Rupert Murdoch: It's Not My Fault

During the hearing on Tuesday, Rupert Murdoch told British lawmakers he isn’t the one to point fingers at.

Murdoch insisted he was “shocked, appalled and ashamed” at the discovery of phone-hacking within News Corp.

Instead of everyone blaming him, he wants people to blame the people he trusted. He insists he is innocent of willful blindness over the dirty practices employed by his reporters.

Murdoch is looking forward to the day this controversy leaves him. He’s hoping he can stop the chaos from traveling to America which is home to many of his best assets: the Fox TV network, 20th Century Fox, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Post.

OMG. Has he never heard of the phrase, ‘the captain goes down with the ship?’ As CEO, he should at least take responsibility for not ensuring proper checks and balances.
