7. That's only because life for the time being has moved on.
The media are hardly likely to keep running stuff which would bore the great majority of their readers. Unlikely to pick up again until some actual charges are brought if ever.

10. It's August. No point to a big scandal in August.
But John W. Dean just had a doozy in the Guardian about the American lawyers Murdoch is hiring.

Watergate had slow periods, too.

12. Windfall profits tax on the media for upcoming election money?
Much of the unlimited money that will be flowing into the US elections in 2012 will be funneled directly into MSM advertising. Billions of damn dollars.

This windfall profits should go toward what, funding the justice department? At least not toward funding the likes of Murdock and Newscorp in their criminal enterprise.

This election spending is going to make the media power and bias much worse if they are allowed huge profits from the supreme court decision regarding money as free speech and corporations as persons with rights to get involved in elections.
