News Corps Withdraws Bid for BSkyB - 13 July 2011

In the wake of its phone-hacking scandal in the UK, News Corp has withdrawn its bid to purchase the British Sky Broadcasting Group, or at least the just over 60% of it that it doesn't already own.

Heavily reported, with a new record of 8 alerts, first by CNN
Second, 3 minutes later, was the Wall Street Journal
Third, 2 minutes after that, was the Denver Post
Fourth, after another 11 minutes, was the Los Angeles Times
Fifth, 7 minutes later, came the Washington Post
Sixth, after another minute, the New York Times got into the mix
Seventh, 14 minutes later, the Richmond Times-Dispatch showed up
Eighth, and final to this party, after 6 more minutes, newcomer FoxNews made its entrance

Biggest story so far, though only one from one of my new sources.
