First it was Big George Webley who relayed a fear of the Murdoch machine and wound up dead. Now it's Sean Hoare. Two British media whistleblowers. Two untimely deaths.



Let's assume that neither was killed by Rupert Murdoch (toxicology reports haven't been made available; foul play isn't suspected by British authorities in either case), but something happened that put the fear of God into both men. Neither was known as a lunatic before their demise, both simply told the truth to British authorities about what they knew of Mr. Murdoch's enterprises and died afterward at a relatively young age.The Murdoch empire is fighting for its life, but let's not forget both Sean Hoare and Big George Webley, two men that it would seem either directly or indirectly are collateral damage in the whole affair. Someone needs to speak for them.
