They certainly wouldn&rsquo;t get off scot-free.  <br><br> Rupert Murdoch would love for this scandal to stay quiet during his share holders meeting Friday, but we can&rsquo;t let that happen.  <br><br> It&rsquo;s clear that News Corp. will stop at nothing to cover over the mounting evidence that the company is ruled by a rogue culture. Just yesterday another company executive stepped down after getting snagged by an investigation into inflated circulation numbers for the Wall Street Journal.  <br><br> And it doesn&rsquo;t end there. News Corp. has been implicated in the bribery of foreign law enforcement officials, the hacking of Sept. 11 victims&rsquo; phone lines, the cover-up of an Internet hacking scandal in the U.S. and numerous other offenses. <br><br> But this scandal is too big to go away, <br><br> Join Good Jobs LA, Brave New Foundation, Common Cause, Free Press, NABET-CWA, The Media and Democracy Coalition, Media Alliance, and Media Action Center to send a message to Murdoch, his investors and the rest of the world: <br><br> \"News Corp. is Not Above the Law.&rdquo; <br><br> When: Friday, October 21; 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. <br>  <br> Where: Fox Studios at 10201 W.
