The Democrats really need to start making noise about a full investigation of News Corp in the USA. News Corp allegedly tried to bribe a NYC police officer. There is too much that suggests this scandal was only limited to the UK. It would be fair and balanced to investigate. If they have nothing to hide, there should be no need for concern, as they so often like to say.
Rupert Murdoch's News Corp could face probes by U.S. authorities for possibly violating bribery laws, compounding the media mogul's problems after a phone-hacking scandal in Britain.
The Obama administration has significantly stepped up enforcement of anti-bribery laws in the last two years, winning big settlements from the likes of Daimler AG and BAE Systems Plc by focusing on bribes they paid to foreign officials to win lucrative contracts.
Bribes for business have represented the bulk of these anti-bribery cases brought by the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is unclear whether U.S. authorities would use scarce resources to probe News Corp over bribes allegedly paid to British police and other officials for information that became news scoops.
