BSkyB announced today that non-executive chairman James Murdoch is to step aside.
In a short press release, the pay TV company say that Murdoch, son of News Corp supremo Rupert, will be asked to "step to one side, shortly after being placed next to the edge of Beachy Head. It's the only way to stop him being a complete and utter liability to the company".
This is not the first time Murdoch junior has stepped aside. After the embarrassing performance in front of the culture, media and sport select committee and his subsequent recall, he was relinquished his post with News International and stepped aside. However, the thing he stepped aside off was not high enough and he was able to continue in his role with BSkyB. Now, however, sources tell us they've found something for him to step aside off that will ensure he can no longer do anything that will harm the future of his father's companies.
