Keith Olbermann Details How Rupert Murdoch Blackmailed Him

On Countdown tonight Keith Olbermann used a Special Comment to detail how Rupert Murdoch blackmailed him when he worked for Fox Sports.

How ironic that Olbermann is complaining, indirectly, about a lack of whistleblowers.

The entire Murdoch/NotW scandal is based almost solely on the relentless work of the Guardian's Nick Davies, who kept digging and digging until they couldn't bury it anymore. The very same Nick Davies who brought the Guardian and Julian Assange together, the same Nick Davies who is very outspoken with regards to the mistreatment of, allegedly, the most prominent whistleblower of our days -- Bradley Manning.

I haven't been following this whole NotW scandal very closely. Just a couple vids from the sift. But isn't it correct that Murdoch had not assumed any control over the company? Wasn't he just about to buy it? If so, I'm not sure how this is relevant, except to show how some horrible CEOs can rot a company from the inside-out.

I don't think he was talking about lack of whistleblowers in general...but whistleblowers from within the Murdoch organization.

BTW...this just in "Sean Hoare, the former News of the World showbiz reporter who was the first named journalist to allege Andy Coulson was aware of phone hacking by his staff, has been found dead, the Guardian has learned.">> ^radx:
