Okay, then the claims that Murdoch definately knew about the phone hacking doesn't make a lot of sense, considering he has all that to keep track of.

But which outlests are more virile?

Me I own many more than thirty electrical outlets. Am I a public enemy or hero of the people?

Sure NOTW was less than 1% of his company.

I don't believe it matters whether Rupert knew about the phone hacking.

It's his responsibility to assure that there are clear policies and competent management in place to prevent it.

The reason why nobody is ever successfully painted as a single-minded, micro-managing, waxed-mustachioed villain is because those characters only exist in fiction.

No one man can be that evil. You have to hire a lot of evil middle-management to get it all done. Just ask Hitler.

Standard Inuyasha response: Are you comparing Rupert to Hitler?!?!??!?!? You're way out of line!! !! !! I'm reporting you to a moderator!! !! !

You're just trying to smear Rupert!! ! You're very bad!! !!

Okay, not a completely authentic imitation. I should have mispelled a few wurds, and uzed some poor grammer.

Do you want me to start posting pseudomotl takataka? You can and do make fun of Inuyasha quite enough to satisfy even Vexillifer without inventing things he never said.

Bo not be a boor as well as a bore.

So? It's just how it works. Bill Gates isn't near as evil as all as microsoft combined. He hired a lot of managers to be evil on his behest. They have a lot of autonomy and one hand of shiva frequently not only has no idea what another does but directly conflicts with it.

He owns all that and conservatives still don't have equal ownerships of media and academia? If he's bent on global neocon domination (or whatever the British equivalent is) he needs to resign - he sucks at it.

he owns the second largest media company in the world he is the mainstream media.
5 point to who ever can name the largest.

Not everything listed is a news media source, seriously a Movie Channel and a Sports Channel, additionally he's been acquiring a lot of this rather recently.

Okay say you are the manager of a company and one of your employees got drunk and drove one of your forklifts into a school bus, and it was your day off. Should you be held responsible for the employee (assuming there was nothing to suggest beforehand that said employee was an alcoholic)?

Yes. And not only that, under current law and general business practices in the USA, I would be.

You can guarantee that the company would end up paying out, the insurance premiums would go way up, and if i were the manager in charge and not the owner, my ass would be fired.

My little sister used to work in loss prevention for a major retailer. She was in line to take over loss prevention for her store when some thug at another store in the same region put a shoplifter in the hospital. Over some goddamn DVDs.

It turned out that said thug had been hired even though his previous convictions for felony assault should have made him ineligible.

Not only was that thug fired, his boss was fired, his bosses boss was fired, and ALL of the loss prevention managers for the whole region were fired.

And corporate paid out a huge sum of money to the shoplifter.

What a busy fellow Rupert is!

Yes, this is indeed standard practice. My husband is a manager and he is fully responsible for his crew at all times. As a parent, I'm responsible for my kids at all times. When you're given a certain level of responsibility, there is no such thing as a day off, whether you've been appointed, hired, or bought into it yourself. That's what taking ownership is all about.

It depends what you mean by "responsible."

If you speaking of cirminal liability for, say, "dangerous operation of a motor vehicle," then clearly not. The employee was the one who was drunk and the one who had care and control of the forklift. Criminal liability attaches to him.

But in the area of civil liability, liability would attach to the employer under the doctrine of "vicarious liability." In the case of a coporation with limited liability, liability attaches to the corporation, but not to the shareholders.

There are also numerous areas in which the directors of corporation are personally liable for the debts of the corporation--some by statute and others at Common Law.

Finally, there are numerous circumstances in which a court will find that a person has kept himself "wilfully blind" to activities undertaken in an area of his responsibility. In such circumstances the court may impute "constructive knowledge" to the person. The phrase, "knew or ought properly to have known," is meant to capture constructive knowledge.

Single incidents of misconduct will not, generally, attach beyond a corporation's vicarious liability. But a pattern of misconduct, engaged in by mulitple employees over an extended period of time may well be treated with less latitude--especially where criminal conduct is involved.
