Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. withdrew its bid for Britain's largest pay-television broadcaster Wednesday as British Prime Minister David Cameron came under intense opposition fire for his close relationship with journalists linked to the phone hacking scandal at the company.

As the phone-hacking scandal continued to roil British politics, News Corp. announced that it was giving up its $12 billion takeover bid for full control of British Sky Broadcasting. It already partially owns the broadcaster.
