Is he on his last legs? Murdoch in meltdown as shares plummet, BSkyB deal is shelved, and shareholders sue

Rupert Murdoch’s media empire today risked implosion amid claims he could abandon his British newspapers over the phone hacking scandal.

This afternoon News Corp launched a $5billion shares buyback, artificially bolstering the value of the company after days of losses.
