Stuff about "antisemitism" here is a red herring. Possibly unintentionally so, possibly not.

Here's a link to an excellent piece in Newsweek by Carl "Watergate" Bernstein, pointing the finger very much at Rupert Murdoch himself - Murdoch's Watergate?

"...The circumstances of the alleged lawbreaking within News Corp. suggest more than a passing resemblance to Richard Nixon presiding over a criminal conspiracy in which he insulated himself from specific knowledge of numerous individual criminal acts while being himself responsible for and authorizing general policies that routinely resulted in lawbreaking and unconstitutional conduct. Not to mention his role in the cover-up. It will remain for British authorities and, presumably, disgusted and/or legally squeezed News Corp. executives and editors to reveal exactly where the rot came from at News of the World, and whether Rupert Murdoch enabled, approved, or opposed the obvious corruption that infected his underlings."
