Your Letter: Dear Sen. Jay Rockefeller, We urge you – as chair of the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee – to immediately launch an investigation into the phone-hacking/bribery scandal involving News Corp, a U.S. company. Your committee has broad oversight over American business and over the Federal Communications Commission. Various agencies of the British government, including Parliament, have uncovered massive wrongdoing on the part of this American company – while the U.S. Congress seems to have largely ignored the scandal. Please launch an investigation, leading to full public hearings. The public has a right to transparency when it comes to the large companies that have been entrusted with dozens of broadcast licenses.
