James Murdoch is 'a busted flush' at News Corp

James Murdoch is a dead man walking, writes Dan Sabbagh in Media Guardian. And he also writes that the heir-no-longer-apparent is losing his grip on News Corp. The vote against Murdoch was an embarrassment and his reputation has been hurt, writes Robert Peston on his BBC blog. Investors have sent a clear signal that they oppose Rupert Murdoch's vision of passing News Corp to his children writes Andrew Edgecliffe-Johnson in the Financial Times. Google "James Murdoch" and those comments are echoed scores of times over. And James's bleak future is also the subject of my London Evening Standard column today, where I contend that he is "a busted flush".
