As the Rupert Turns

On this morning's episode, we discover it's been a busy weekend for the Murdoch clan. It was time for annual bonuses, and under the circumstances it's understandable that James decided not to accept the $6 million bonus offer.

Rupert, on the other hand, had no problem at all accepting his $12.5 million bonus.

We also discovered the depth of Rupert's political influence in England. We already knew his disgraced former editor was the spokesperson (until he was arrested) for current British PM David Cameron, but did you know that Tony Blair is also the godfather to one of Rupert's children?

Gee, and with cash payoffs to Scotland Yard thrown in the mix too, I wonder why Rupert had never been investigated before?
