Sky's chief executive quits

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/3131106.stm

Sky's Chief Executive, Tony Ball, has quit. He's staying only until a successor is appointed.

This news has been expected.

They're tipping James Murdoch (Rupert's son) to be his sucessor...

But good old Rupert is reporting to be stepping down as chairman, to keep the shareholders happy over James being appointed at chief executive!! It all gets very confusing.

Yeah, Rupert might be stepping down - but Fox stooge Chase Carey will get the job.

Nepotism rules.

Nepotism? Someone fetch a dictionary! But I guess it's an insult to this Chase guy. Anyway, if he's joining Sky, who's taking his old job?

From dictionary.com:

"Favoritism shown or patronage granted to relatives, as in business."

In other words, the teacher's pet. I thought Sky was on the stock exchange, not family owned!
