The Prime Minister said he believed the Leveson Inquiry, rather than a separate probe, is the right way to investigate the Government’s exchanges with News Corp as it is ‘far tougher than anything the civil service could arrange’.
Mr Cameron admitted discussing matters with Mr Murdoch’s son and top News Corp executive James Murdoch at a Christmas party at the Oxfordshire home of then News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks.
Asked whether he was embarrassed that he was even at the party, Mr Cameron said: ‘Clearly, after all that’s been written and said about it, yes of course one might do things differently.
Asked whether he was embarrassed that he was even at the party, Mr Cameron said: ‘Clearly, after all that’s been written and said about it, yes of course one might do things differently.’
Under scrutiny: Jeremy Hunt faces damaging allegations that he supported News Corp’s bid when he was supposed to be impartial.Mr Cameron said he did not recall the exact details of his conversation with Mr Murdoch but that it concerned the recent controversy over Business Secretary Vince Cable’s comments that he had ‘declared war’ on News Corporation.
‘What I recall saying, although I can’t remember every detail of the conversation, is saying something like: clearly that was unacceptable, it was embarrassing for the Government, and to be clear from now on this whole issue would be dealt with impartially, properly, in the correct way, but obviously I had nothing to do with it, I recused myself from it,’ he said.
Mr Cameron admitted that he courted Murdoch newspapers in opposition, but said it was ‘no great mystery’ as he had tried to win over many media outlets.
‘The thing that people are asking is was there some big deal, some big agreement between me and Rupert Murdoch or James Murdoch that in return for support for the Conservative Party I would somehow help their business interests or allow this merger to go through,’ he said.
‘That is not true. Rupert Murdoch said it under oath at the Leveson Inquiry, James Murdoch said it under oath, I will say it under oath.
‘I did want the support of as many newspapers and television commentators for the Conservative Party because I wanted to take the country in a different direction.
‘When it comes to the Murdoch newspapers, I was trying to convince a set of newspapers with largely centre-right, conservative views anyway, that they would be better off with the Conservative Party running the country.
‘There is no great mystery here – that is what I was trying to do.’
Mr Cameron said it would be ‘wrong’ to sack Mr Hunt because his special adviser Adam Smith – who quit on Wednesday as the row grew – had been ‘too close’ to the Murdoch empire and ‘acted inappropriately’.
A group of Missouri Republicans introduced a legislation last week called the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
The bill, if you didn’t already know, would prevent schools from teaching any type of gay history.
The purpose … to prevent teachers from teaching it because those against it believes it’s a choice and not a sexual preference you are born with.
NewsOne columnist Michael Arceneaux wrote his thoughts on the issue in a column. Below is an excerpt:
I was introduced to AIDS, and subsequently, gay people at the age of 6, following the death of a relative. The words gay or homosexual weren’t the terms used to describe same-sex lovers, though. The word faggotwas, which from its very utterance of the word in all its hate-filled tone, instilled a great fear in me that would last well into early adulthood.
It would be years before someone bothered to declare that gay people, which I knew secretly included myself, were just folks with a sexual orientation outside of the norm. Such is a lesson I wish was instilled in me much sooner in my life, which is why I find it rather pathetic that Republican lawmakers in Missouri are going out of their way to prevent such not-so-outlandish facts from being shared with school children – particularly at a time when little by little gay Americans are inching toward wider acceptance.
NBA baller Dwayne Wade stirred up some controversy recently when he said NBA players should be paid for the Olympics.
The discussion was then brought upon of: “Should you be paid for having the honor of representing your country?”
What do you think?
Well, our partner Uptown Magazine wrote an opinion piece on it and also took a poll.
Check out the excerpt of the op-ed below:
Two-time Olympian Dwyane Wade has traded in the patriotic chant “U-S-A!” for a more forward demand: Show me the money!
In an interview at practice Wednesday, the Miami Heat star gave his stance on NBA Olympians being compensated for their time and effort at the Summer Games.
