Rupert Murdoch and other News Corporation executives are at the center of a shocking British media scandal that involves spying, bribery, corruption, a corporate cover-up and even murder, and which just resulted in the stunning new news that Murdoch has withdrawn News Corporation’s bid for BSkyB.

And now there are reports that Murdoch’s company’s alleged criminal behavior—including hacking the phones of September 11 victims—has crossed the Atlantic.

As our friends at Media Matters, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, Free Press and numerous Nation investigations have documented, for far too long, Murdoch has used his enormous media power to secure sweetheart deals from Washington and insulate himself and his company from official scrutiny. If he has broken the law, Murdoch should be held accountable.

We hope you enjoyed the story you just read, just one of the many incisive, deeply-reported articles we publish daily. Now more than ever, we need fearless journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media.

Throughout this critical election year and a time of media austerity and renewed campus activism and rising labor organizing, independent journalism that gets to the heart of the matter is more critical than ever before. Donate right now and help us hold the powerful accountable, shine a light on issues that would otherwise be swept under the rug, and build a more just and equitable future.

For nearly 160 years, The Nation has stood for truth, justice, and moral clarity. As a reader-supported publication, we are not beholden to the whims of advertisers or a corporate owner. But it does take financial resources to report on stories that may take weeks or months to properly investigate, thoroughly edit and fact-check articles, and get our stories into the hands of readers.

Donate today and stand with us for a better future. Thank you for being a supporter of independent journalism.

Thank you for your generosity.
