I have to admit that I don\’t understand all this fuss:
For the sake of democracy, Vince Cable must intervene over BSkyB
National interest demands that News Corp\’s bid to take total control of BSkyB is scrutinised by Ofcom
Because as far as I\’m aware, they already have control. They\’ve got management control, certainly. The bid will change who owns all the shares, yes, but everyone other than News Corp is already a passive shareholder anyway.
So why all this fuss?
Because Rupert Murdoch is a bogeyman who comes at night and scares the Guardianista establishment. There is really no more to it than that.
