Parliament's Role in Enabling Media Exploitation: A Call for Accountability

Wed Dec 03 2025 04:51:39 GMT+0200 (Eastern European Standard Time)

An open letter to the UK Parliament highlights their complicity in creating a predatory media environment, particularly focusing on the impact of Murdoch, CBS, and the Channel 5 transfer amidst a wave of abuse allegations.

This extensive article investigates the UK Parliament's historical failures in regulating the media industry, especially regarding the sale of Channel 5 to foreign entities implicated in abuse and exploitation. The author, Alkiviades David, argues that MPs across different administrations facilitated a predatory media culture that has harmful implications for children and society at large. Legal ramifications are underway, with multiple agencies now reviewing the impact of these decisions.

Parliament's Role in Enabling Media Exploitation: A Call for Accountability

OPEN LETTER TO THE UK PARLIAMENT

This is not a theory. This is not speculation. This is a matter of sovereign judicial record across two Commonwealth jurisdictions — the High Court of Antigua & Barbuda and the King’s Bench Division of the High Court of England & Wales.

The British public deserves the truth: Parliament, across multiple administrations — Conservative, Labour, and Coalition — enabled a predatory media culture that shaped what our children see, hear, and believe.

Through regulatory weakness, political deference, corporate lobbying, and institutional complacency, Parliament cleared the runway for:

Murdoch-controlled media entities

CBS / Paramount Global

Hollywood networks with abusive internal cultures

digital ecosystems with CSAM vulnerabilities & fixed-betting influence

The result: a foreign media monopoly now under review by DOJ (Mac Warner), UK’s National Crime Agency, and the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

Rupert Murdoch and Elisabeth Murdoch — key figures in the UK’s media power structure at the time of the Channel 5 transfer.

THE CHANNEL 5 TRANSFER: PARLIAMENT’S MOST DAMAGING FAILURE

Channel 5 was sold into a foreign media power bloc with historical entanglements in:

corporate abuse scandals

digital CSAM-adjacent ecosystems

piracy networks (LimeWire / Media Defender)

fixed-betting corruption

This was approved on Parliament’s watch: Approved by MPs. Approved by Ministers. Approved by DCMS. Rubber-stamped by Ofcom.

MURDOCH + CBS: THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE

Two of the most powerful media empires on Earth operated with sweeping influence inside the UK’s media, publishing, and children’s content ecosystem. This occurred while both conglomerates faced:

sexual exploitation scandals

MeToo cover-up allegations

corporate retaliation claims

Media Defender & LimeWire digital evidence trails

Yet Parliament waved every deal through. That is the scandal.

THE 80-DEFENDANT MASS DEFAULT IN ANTIGUA

More than 80 defendants — including CBS, Paramount, and Murdoch-linked units — were perfectly served under Commonwealth rules. Not one responded. No Defence. No Acknowledgment. No Jurisdiction Challenge. Nothing.

This is one of the largest mass-defaults in Commonwealth history. The allegations stand unopposed on the judicial record.

HOW MPs ENABLED THIS CULTURE

MPs across multiple governments created and legitimised the regulatory system that allowed predatory media structures to flourish.

By approving mergers, acquisitions & foreign takeovers, they strengthened corporate regimes later implicated in systemic exploitation. That is Parliament’s failure.
