PBS front line created a documentary based off of the Infamous Murdock Scandal. The documentary showcased the corruption of The News of the World and how the boundaries in ethics were pushed to new extremes. As I watched this documentary this reminded me of the Enron Scandal that happened in 2001, both of the companies in a sense cooked their books Enron did this by creating secret bank accounts, hiding the income revenues and created a monopoly. The Murdock Scandal was hiding how they accessed stories, lied to court, created a media oligopoly, and used their power within the media to blackmail others into submission. Both The Murdock and Enron Scandal collapsed due to the thrown of lies that built up the cooperation's. Ethics and morals in the work place are vitally important for a thriving company to stay on top when work ethics are not present that is when corporation tend to have there downfall.
