Well, it seems to be avoiding the hacking scandal and concentrating on the closing of the paper and Mordoch's bid for B Sky B. There were only 6 words about the hacking scandal. There was no mention of a FBI probe into NewsCorp about possible hacking of 9/11 victims phone records. The probe was requested by extreme right wing GOP congressman Peter King of NY.

NEW YORK/LONDON, July 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation is examining allegations that Rupert Murdoch's News Corp (
NWSA.O) may have tried to hack into the phone records of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, the agency said on Thursday.
"We are aware of the allegations and are looking into it," said Peter Donald, an FBI spokesman in New York.
The FBI probe was prompted by a call by U.S. congressman Peter King of New York to investigate the hacking claims, first reported by Britain's The Daily Mirror newspaper on Monday.
