Dear Stewart,

Rupert Murdoch's problems — including possible illegal behavior in the 
U.K. and the U.S. — won’t go away no matter how hard he tries to cover 
them up.

On Tuesday,  British authorities released a letter that exposes a 
massive News Corp. cover-up of illegal phone hacking.^1

This is a serious scandal, but we aren't afraid to have a little fun at 
Murdoch's expense: **

*Today we're launching a game — Whack a Murdoch 
<http://act2.freepress.net/go/5635?akid=2761.9117198.PHU198&t=2> — that 
helps you vent your anger about News Corp*.

If you combined Rupert Murdoch’s media empire 
<http://act2.freepress.net/go/5635?akid=2761.9117198.PHU198&t=3> with a 
game of “Whack a Mole,” you’d get something like this addictive game 
<http://act2.freepress.net/go/5635?akid=2761.9117198.PHU198&t=4>. Check 
it out to discover how much Murdoch owns across the U.S. — and take out 
some of your frustration on News Corp. while you’re at it.

After you play the game, take action and join our call for congressional 
hearings into News Corp.'s misbehavior. We’re not going to let Murdoch 
smother this scandal — and neither should you.

*Play Whack a Murdoch* 
<http://act2.freepress.net/go/5635?akid=2761.9117198.PHU198&t=5>, learn 
more about News Corp.'s consolidation and spread the word.

Thanks,
