A former producer with Fox News claimed in a lengthy essay gaining new traction this week that the conservative television station has a "Brain Room" in its New York headquarters which enables employees to view private telephone records with ease.
Though published years ago, the allegations have returned to relevance in the wake of the phone hacking scandals that have rocked News Corporation to its very core, threatening to topple one of the world's largest and most powerful media conglomerates.
At this time, Newscorp is being investigated for hacking into the phones of 911 victims. Bear in mind that this is just an investigation. Also bear in mind that FOX News has, in the past, paid out a total of $655 million in settlements stemming from claims of previous illegal activity. If the current investigation shows that 911 victims' phones were indeed hacked, this could very well be the end FOX News, as we know it. At this time, it looks like the Newscorp scandal has crossed the Atlantic Ocean, and is now sitting in our own laps, as well as in Britain, where the top 2 law enforcement officer has now resigned for taking bribes in exchange for information, which they gave to Newscorp.
