Britain's culture minister admits he was sympathetic to Murdoch's $16
billion BSkyBbut he wasn't biased. Peter Jukes on the Leveson Inquiry's
grilling of Jeremy Hunt.
.
The Leveson Inquiry, which started as a public inquiry into press ethics
after the phone-hacking scandal erupted last summer, has now turned into a
trial of the British government and its apparently cozy connections with
Rupert Murdochs News Corp. as it launched the biggest media bid in British
historythe takeover of the countrys most lucrative broadcaster, BSkyB.
.
On the stand in London Thursday was Jeremy Hunt, the culture secretary who
was supposed to be overseeing the contentious $16 billion bid in an
impartial quasi-judicial role. That role had been taken from the business
minister, Vince Cable, who was caught by undercover reporters in December
2010 revealing that he was at war with the Murdochs over the bid.
.
If Cable was sacked from oversight because he was biased against News
Corp, Hunt conceded a bias in another wayhe was sympathetic toward the
bid. The inquiry has also revealed extensive contacts between a News Corp.
lobbyist and Hunts trusted special advisor, Adam Smith. Over 1000 emails,
texts, and phone calls were exchanged between Hunts office and News Corp.
during the bid process, but hardly any contacts with the media coalition
of the Guardian, Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, BBC and Channel 4 who
opposed the takeover.
.
Smith resigned as Hunts adviser in April once the level of inappropriate
contact was revealed, but the Parliamentary furor did not die down. Hunts
opposite number, Labour Party front-bencher Harriet Harman, called for his
resignation: under the ministerial code, she reasoned, Hunt was
responsible for his aide. But Hunt is a close ally of the prime minister,
and David Cameron declared that he should be allowed his day in court
before any other ministerial investigations are launched.
