As evidence mounts against the surveillance operations of Murdoch’s British organization, the UK government has been forced to call for an investigation. In light of new evidence about the methods and practices within News of the World which could yield criminal convictions even among the top management of the Tabloid one would imagine the UK government ready to stop Murdoch’s take over of BSkyB. It seems unconscionable to increase exponentially the power of dissemination of the organization, expanding the economic holdings of Murdoch not to mention entrusting a public good to a group that is either malicious or criminally incompetent. It should give everyone pause to imagine what happens when a corporation becomes a surveillance system at the service of a political program.
