Description
IN THE END, THE STORY IS ABOUT CORRUPTION BY POWER.
Some of Murdoch's enforcers departed from the company line (it's all about business) and pursued personal agendas and vendettas, even against minor politicians. Their arrogance was so stratospheric they discussed their crimes even though they knew they were being recorded. They thought they could destroy the evidence, threaten and cover up. They thought they were cleverer than everyone else; they thought they were untouchable. From the criminal underworld to the headquarters of London's police force, from the decks of yachts in the Mediterranean to farmhouses in the Cotswolds and the deep-carpeted rooms of Downing Street, they had spun an invisible web of connections and corruption.
They listened to phone messages, of course, but they also blagged, bribed, spied and bullied and imposed their will through blackmail, corruption and intimidation Rupert Murdoch was not running a normal business, but a shadow state.'
