Fox News boss persuaded fellow executive to 'lie' to federal investigators

Roger Ailes wanted Judith Regan to keep quiet about affair with man shortlisted to head US homeland security department.
...
The chairman of the right-wing current affairs channel, Fox News, Roger Ailes, has been named in court documents as the previously anonymous executive who allegedly tried to persuade a fellow boss at News Corporation to lie to federal investigators over a crucial Washington appointment.

The New York Times reported court documents had become available that for the first time name Ailes as the mysterious executive involved in the allegations. The claims were initially made in November 2007 by Judith Regan, one of Rupert Murdoch's rising stars in News Corporation until she was dismissed the previous year in a row over her decision to publish a book with OJ Simpson.
...
The court documents reveal his identity and, even more sensationally, say that there is a tape recording of Ailes's conversation with Regan in which he seeks to secure her co-operation. However, there are no transcripts of the conversation.

Ailes, a hugely controversial figure in the News Corporation firmament who critics say has turned Fox News into a mouthpiece of the right-wing Tea Party movement, has been a friend of Giuliani's for more than 20 years. As mayor, Giuliani officiated at Ailes's wedding.

News Corporation hastily settled with Regan after she brought her 2007 lawsuit, to the tune of almost $11m. News Corporation said the case was closed. (The Guardian)

The ultra right-wing Fox Lies is controlled by the tax dodging foreigner Rupert Murdoch who wants the UK media to follow the same path :rolleyes:
 
While on the topic of news and media the BBC aren't exactly a saint.

They are criminal for promoting certain people/artists who are; shall we say 'favoured' by them. They appear as a guest on one of their radio stations and then later in that same week they appear on a TV programme promoting something new that they want to shove down your stomach.

Independent my arse.

I will also say that you (yes you!) have better chances of reporting breaking news than what the BBC is able to. Mobile phone and Ustream and you have out done the BBC with breaking news.

I have lost count the amount of breaking UK/Worldwide news stories which the BBC have failed to cover from the get go due to not having enough resources.
