James Murdoch has stepped down as the chair for British Sky Broadcasting. His decision was logos-based, as he made the fact claim that his presence in the company could make him "'a lightning rod' for attacks on the satellite network following his role in the long-running phone-hacking scandal."
The phone-hacking scandal was when News International hacked "phone messages of celebrities, politicians and murder victims triggered a string of high-profile arrests and resignations in Britain." This also triggered Murdoch's resignation from the company.
