Rupert Murdock (Lucy's work)

Dear MP I am writing this email to complain that Rupert Murdoch should not be allowed to own all of BSkyB because he is not a trust worthy individual as he proved by the phone hacking scandal of The News of the World. The bid was referred to Ofcom means that there were concerns about the effect it would have on media ownership because Rupert will have control over roughly 51% British media because News Corp when combined with Sky, would account for a 22% "share of reference" for British news and that the combined company would reach 51% of all Britons with its news each week. Also Ofcom’s rules on cross media ownership say that a news paper owner can't own TV so why is Murdoch a exception? He also owns Fox news in US which has been known for being bias and theres nothing that says he wont do it with everything else. Mr Murdoch told the Leveson Inquiry that the then prime minister(Gordon Brown) made an angry call to him in September 2009 after the Sun dropped Labour but records released by the Cabinet Office confirm his claim that he did not call Rupert Murdoch to declare "war" on News Corp. This all shows that Rupert has too much power and that he needs to be kept under control because he doesn't seem to be trust worthy and has a hunger for power and overall I think it would be very bad if he wins the bid for BSkyB.
