Jeremy Hunt

Jeremy Richard Streynsham Hunt (born: 1 November 1966) is a British Conservative Party politician who currently (April 2012) serves as the Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport and as the Member of Parliament for South West Surrey.

Biased in favor of Murdoch
In April 2012, a series of emails were released by the Leveson inquiry into press standards indicating there was a flow of information from Mr Hunt's office to News Corp advisers when the firm was bidding to take over BSkyB. Eventually one of Hunt's junior assistants was sacked over the affair, but as of 28 April 2012, it was dubious Hunt could retain his job which includes regulating the media, and thus the News Corp acquisition of BSkyB.
