re: viewers of EG Forums specifically targeted from Tax Payer provided internet facilities
Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation has announced that it is dropping its planned bid to take full ownership of satellite broadcaster BSkyB.
It follows a scandal over phone hacking at News Corp's UK newspaper group.
News Corp deputy chairman Chase Carey said the bid had become "too difficult to progress in this climate".
The move came just before MPs debated a motion supported by all major parties calling on Mr Murdoch to scrap the bid. The motion was approved without a vote.
The scandal has already led to the closure of the UK's biggest-selling newspaper, the News of the World.
On Friday, Prime Minister David Cameron announced details of a public inquiry into phone hacking and media regulation.
