Murdoch – Richard Gizbert |
I have just watched a fascinating interview with Richard Gizbert from the Listening Post of Al Jazeera. Talk about conspiracy theorist, this guy was wonderful. What I liked most about it was that it was “in-depth”, it gave hime the chance to speak in detail of his interpretations of events, as opposwed to the restrictive sound-byte culture that most news broadcasts thrive on – telling you nothing quickly. The interview was on Democracy Now on 21st July, and I have uploaded separately. During the discussion Richard Gizbert mentioned treatment received by a British MP trying to expose the Murdoch scandals – here it is, (the private investigator, Glenn Mulcaire, was sent to prison for phone hacking and was paid £100,000 by News of the World – the then editor Andy Coulson denying knowledge of it). Wiki on “News international Phone-hacking scandal” will give more details. |
