It seems that all being said and done all is not well at News International. Over the past few days what Rupert Murdoch the larger than life figure that sits atop this huge media empire has been seeing as a slight irritation is fast turning into something else.
Both owning and overseeing the day-to-day running of one of the fastest selling tabloids in the United Kingdom,has a way of taking its toll, especially if there is sufficient reason to believe that method by which the information that has been making such racy headlines,thereby sending circulation figures through the roof in recent years, was not gathered in what one considers an ethical and acceptable manner.
Heads have started to roll thick and fast in the last few days and the interesting issues is the harder the organisation does everything to kill this story, it is fast becoming the proverbial "bad penny" that has an uncanny knack of popping up in the wrong place at about the right time.
The erstwhile Director of Information to the Prime Minister has not had it easy in the last few weeks,he has had to resign from his second job because he alleges he did not have full knowledge of what his subordinates were doing at his former job,very interesting
Interesting to see how many more people are going to end up in the firing line,since the Metropolitan Police have decided to revisit the investigation with an injection of fresh evidence.
It looked like the Business Secretary had well and truly ended up with egg on his face after it was alleged that he had fallen out of favour with the Powers that be,due to his attitude towards News International intentions to add BSkyB to their trophy chest.
Mr Murdoch had better remember the interesting adage saying " That those who live in glass houses should not throw stones".......I have a funny feeling that we have not heard the last of this story.
