Yeah, let's not pick on a corporation which includes a company that had to shut down a newspaper because it was caught hacking into over 800 phones including that of a murdered girl. Obviously Murdoch is a man of wealth and taste.
But wait! There's more!

That mess is getting deeper for Murdoch. Press in the UK thinks that the heat is on there to arrest people for bribery in part because of the FBI's investigation of Murdoch and top News Corp execs in the US:
"News Corporation executives could be vulnerable to individual prosecution by US anti-bribery authorities under the so-called "willful blindness" clause that holds company chiefs culpable if they chose to be unaware of any specific wrongdoing by their employees.
The FBI and other law-enforcers are probing Rupert Murdoch's media empire under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act that seeks to punish US-based companies engaging in bribery abroad. News Corp is headquartered in New York."
