Le scandale Murdoch continue \u00e0 son train d\u00e9vastateur. Chaque jour apporte son lot de nouvelles, dans une situation en aggravation constante, qui secoue jusqu’au tr\u00e9fonds l’establishment<\/em> britannique et conduit le groupe Murdoch \u00e0 \u00e9voluer de plus en plus vite autour de th\u00e8mes encore impensables il y a seulement deux semaines.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tLe Guardian<\/em> note (le 12 juillet 2011<\/a>), sans doute avec une secr\u00e8te satisfaction, que les titres du groupe Murdoch voient leurs ventes reculer fortement (en mettant bien s\u00fbr \u00e0 part le cas de la liquidation de The News of the World<\/em>), avec 150.000 exemplaires en moins pour le Sun<\/em> et 30.000 en moins pour le Times<\/em> et le Sunday Times<\/em> (\u00abHowever, it seems the public eschewed News International titles when it came to seeking news on the phone-hacking scandal, with the Sun, Times on Saturday and the Sunday Times thought to be the only nationals to have lost sales over the weekend.<\/em>\u00bb). L’hypoth\u00e8se d’un d\u00e9part de Murdoch du Royaume-Uni, avec vente de la branche britannique de son groupe (News International), avec les titres qui vont avec, est d\u00e9sormais \u00e9voqu\u00e9e. C’est l’Independent<\/em> qui \u00e9voque cette hypoth\u00e8se, ce 12 juillet 2011<\/a> :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abWill Rupert Murdoch abandon British newspapers entirely? After the dramatic demise of the News of the World, speculation was rife last night that the News Corp media empire might seek to sell off News International to protect the rest of its business from the fallout of the hacking scandal. Pressure increased yesterday with news that a group of American institutional investors had brought new charges against the company over the phone-hacking affair. The investors, who are critical of Rupert Murdoch and his son and deputy, James, accused News Corp of rampant nepotism and failed corporate governance.<\/em> []<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThere has long been a faction within News Corp which says Why do we have these newspapers?’ notes Michael Wolff, contributing editor to Vanity Fair and Rupert Murdoch’s biographer. He said that the former president and chief operating officer, Peter Chernin, had taken such a view, and that the current chief operating officer, Chase Carey, the most likely non-family member to succeed the ageing chairman, has never had any involvement in the newspapers.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb \t\u00bbHe said that the board of the US-listed company needed to show that it did not simply act at the behest of the chairman. As boards of major companies go, this is one of the most docile and least independent. One of the themes that is going to be taken up there is of corporate governance and that these people are not accountable. That’s a board-level question and I think the board is going to come under increasing pressure to realise that.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tLa nouvelle la plus spectaculaire du jour vient des r\u00e9v\u00e9lations des extraordinaires activit\u00e9s d’espionnage et de d\u00e9tournement d’informations confidentielles et personnelles qui ont eu lieu aux d\u00e9pens de Gordon Brown, notamment lorsque Brown \u00e9tait chancelier de l’Echiquier, jusqu’en 2007. La r\u00e9v\u00e9lation de l’espionnage de l’\u00e9tat de sant\u00e9 de son fils gravement malade, de ses diverses situations priv\u00e9es, etc., a constitu\u00e9 un choc (un de plus) extr\u00eamement fort, pour Brown bien s\u00fbr, mais aussi pour toute la classe politique britannique. Brown accuse le Sunday Times<\/em> de travailler en relation avec des milieux criminels de la p\u00e8gre, pour organiser des op\u00e9rations d’espionnage priv\u00e9. Les relations de d\u00e9pendance de cette classe et du groupe Murdoch sont en train de se transformer en relations d’une hostilit\u00e9 confinant \u00e0 la haine, et rendent quasiment impensable l’hypoth\u00e8se d’un retour \u00e0 la situation d’avant apr\u00e8s ce scandale… (D’apr\u00e8s The Independent<\/em> du 12 juillet 2011<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abFormer prime minister Gordon Brown accused the Sunday Times today of using illicit activity to intrude into his private family life.<\/em> [] Mr Brown also said that he and his wife were in tears after being told by the Sun that it was going to publish the story about his son’s cystic fibrosis, gleaned from medical files.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbHe told the BBC: I think that what happened pretty early on in government is that the Sunday Times appear to have got access to my building society account, they got access to my legal files, there is some question mark about what happened to other files documentation, tax and everything else. I’m shocked, I’m genuinely shocked, to find that this happened because of their links with criminals, known criminals, who were undertaking this activity, hired by investigators with the Sunday Times.<\/em> []<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbMr Brown added: I just can’t understand this if I, with all the protection and all the defences and all the security that a chancellor of the Exchequer or a prime minister, am so vulnerable to unscrupulous tactics, to unlawful tactics, methods that have been used in the way we have found, what about the ordinary citizen? What about the person, like the family of Milly Dowler, who are in the most desperate of circumstances, the most difficult occasions in their lives, in huge grief and then they find that they are totally defenceless in this moment of greatest grief from people who are employing these ruthless tactics with links to known criminals<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \n dedefensa.org<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Murdoch et l’horreur de Gordon Brown Le scandale Murdoch continue \u00e0 son train d\u00e9vastateur.
