Let's face it, most of us on this side of the Big Pond aren't really paying attention to Rupert Murdoch's travails in London town. When we're not wringing our hands at our spineless Democratic congressmen, we're throwing them up in despair over the KAH-RAY-ZEE Republicans. Then, when we're all worn down, and all our shouting is done, we're headed off to the beach to catch some rays and knock back a few tall, cold ones.

But later, as it becomes clear there's something big going on, it'll be too late to figure out the big picture of what went down, and how this thing got so huge in the first place. You'll be left chasing the story and wondering what the real significance is of each new development. So follow me beyond the fold, where I've put together an outline.
