A Letter from Rupert Murdoch

[HarveyDarkey]

Where I Stand on the News Corporation Scandal

Dear Friends,

As details of the scandal surrounding my company, News Corporation, have emerged in recent days – including employees hacking into mobile phones and bribing the police – my defense has been consistent: I had no idea what was going on.

Now, I’m sure many of you are wondering, how could I, Rupert Murdoch, one of the most powerful men in the world, have no idea what is going on? The answer, my friends, is simple: I get all of my information from my own newspapers. If you relied on News of the World, The Sun, and The New York Post for your information, I can assure you that you wouldn’t have a clue what was going on, either.

Some of you aren’t buying this argument. You maintain that a media titan like me would get his information from sources beyond newspapers – like TV, for example. Well, that’s true. But in my case, the only TV I watch is the Fox News Channel. So not only do I not know what is going on around me, I know nothing about the theory of evolution, global warming, or President Obama’s birthplace.

If you still don’t believe that I know nothing, here’s a final piece of evidence: I paid $500 million to acquire MySpace. Case closed.

2. Uhhh, Rupert - it's your business to know.

And you are responsible for the actions of your employees. Ignorance is no excuse. Ignorance only proves incompetence.

5. In case you didn't notice

It's Andy Borowitz & it's satire.

3. Classic letter

How can i get a copy of this letter? It is a classic. The original letter with his signature will be worth a lot someday.

Or better yet, could someone please post an image of it for circulation. I think we need an image of the signed one for this.

6. Conservatives... corrupt or incompetent? Does it really matter?

The outcome is the same either way.
