Well, here are two seemingly contradictory quotes in an article by Jodie Ginsberg, writing for Reuters, posted on
Talking Points Memo website:
British politicians have said in the past they feared criticizing any of the Murdoch papers because they feared their own private lives might be exposed.
The [British] government has maintained that the hacking scandal should not influence its decision [on allowing Rupert Murdoch "to secure the 61 percent of broadcaster BSkyB he does not already control in a deal expected to be worth at least $14 billion"], which will be based on whether the takeover will give Murdoch too much power over the British media and politics -- a view Cameron's ministers reject.
