Profits are up at News Corp.
That’s what really matters, Rupert Murdoch basically told fundraisers last week, even as a 12th person was arrested in the phone hacking and bribery scandal that has engulfed his sprawling media empire — which includes Fox News and Atlanta-based WAGA-TV.
Murdoch also said, “There can be no doubt about our commitment to ethics and integrity.”
