    Has a similar phenomenon occurred with News Corp shareholders?

    This seems unlikely to happen. News corp has always seem to me a more privately run company, despite the fact that it's a public corporation. I may be wrong, but I think the Murdoch family owns enough of stake in the company where they have the loudest voice, though no doubt that all the other shareholders could gang up if they wanted to. It's a little like the WWE, where the McMahons own about 90% of the company despite the fact that it's publicly held, though in this case I believe the Murdochs own a significant amount less. It'd be nice, though. As much as Keith Olbermann is an embarrassment to GE, I think the likes of Sean Hannity are an embarrassment to News Corp. There are others, but Hannity is the worst offender. Bill O'Reilly gets off the hook, despite my own issues with some of his ethics.
