News: British media scandal

The British business secretary Vince Cable is out of a job after tapes leaked of him telling undercover reporters he had "declared war on" Rupert Murdoch.

The reporters did not include Cable's remarks in their story, but a "whistleblower" leaked the audio, Robert Mackey at the New York Times reports.
