hmm.... that website is like seeing a retarded cat cross the road... is this the low or is it the 'wonderful content' that the website spews forth...
To nip this whole voicemail/phone-hacking thing in the bud they should start throwing the NoW executives off the white cliffs of Dover and use that to make an example of these sick beggers. Start with Rebekah Brooks, they can even time how long it takes before she stops screaming.
Its disgusting what the NOTW do for a story. I really hope they charge her and send her to jail. Best of all, i wish people would just stop buying this s**t "news"paper but i suspect that their sales will be better than every!
Just in case anyone is wondering: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jul/05/phone-hacking-police-review-child-murders Funny though, all that paper, very flammable isn't it, and yet their warehouses have never burnt down?...
Followed by Andy Coulson. Tourists can then take technicolor happy snaps of seaguls picking the eyeballs out of the smashed skulls of their mangled corpses, as the sight seeing vessels go bob-bob-bobbing along the picturesquely iconic coast. The more intriguing question for me is however: how many other papers indulge in similar practices? Tip of the iceberg? In any case, perhaps it is time for the public to re-examine its relationship with their newspapers and tabloids. After all, they are only giving their readership what it wants. The Mirror was called that for a reason.
It's very odd that the police have held the private investigators notes for a few years but the full details of the phone hacking are only coming to light now. It was mentioned on the news last night that the damage this is doing to news international could persuade the regulator to block the take over of BSKYB. Tinfoil hat time?
Indeed the companies who have pulled their ad's from the NOTW but not from the Sun i'd give odds that if the NOTW was upto this then the Sun was also. The rest are probably also at it but given the Sun is a stable mate I can't imagine that information wasn't passed round between "Journalists"
What gets me is how Glenn Mulcaire, the guy who hacked people's phones and invaded everyone's privacy is now complaining about press intrusion into his life. Cry me a river.
Well there are claims that payments were made to the police over this issue. I'm not suggesting for a minute that they were to hush things up but they look exceedingly strange.
Sarah Helm, the journalist wife of Jonathan Powell (Tony Blair's chief of staff) casually mentioned on Radio 4 this morning how the content of Jonathan's personal work-related scribbles put out with the household rubbish on the evening would magically appear in newspapers the next day. On one occasion these notes appeared, photocopied and all, on the front page of the Sunday Times. I suspect that all papers are at it to some extent, and that the boundaries of what is seen In the trade as a creative, but fair way of obtaining information and what is immoral and illegal intrusion will get ever hazier.
All papers ARE at it, according to someone here at work whose friend is a journalist (yeah, i know, friend of a friend but I find this easy to believe). All that this phone "hacking" amounts to is ringing someone's voicemail and trying the preset PIN that is the same for everyone unless it's changed. Change your voicemail PINs, people.
I think the NOTW are in ever deeper s*** that it currently appears. If they got started with the Huntley murders, think of how many horrible crimes there have been since then - it's not just the McCanns, it's 7/7, Delroy Grant etc. I don't like where this is going... (PS: I changed my voicemail PIN the day I got it.)
It's sickening that journalists would stoop to this level. I am appalled by the, as it now seems, hourly revelations that have been coming over the past few days. I mean, ffs, hacking a missing girl's phone and not just listening but deleting them as well?? Absolutely disgraceful. Whoever did that should have the book thrown at them. I think everyone should boycott not only the News of the World, but all publications under the News Corporation umbrella.
The officer in charge of the original enquiry, Andy Hayman left the police and joined News International as a columnist in April 2010... Consider though, that the News of the World made fewer "investigations" (228) compared to other tabloids (Sunday People 802, Daily/Sunday Mirror 824, Daily/Sunday Mail 1,218) according to the Information Commissioner (see TheRegister: NOTW hack-hackage: Inside the personal data press mess) so this shouldn't be just about NotW or Murdoch's press empire. It's tabloid journalism and its supporters (including those who buy such papers) who should be on trial.
The Sun= Celebrity bullshite NOTW= Well... Daily Mail- Global warming and how to fit into a swimsuit They've sunk to a new low.
DO you wan to know who is to blame? (not you guys, the other guys....) You. The public. You lap it up. Grim gore, blood, death, vice, affairs. It's sales that drive the newspaper, it's sales that drive the content. You want the gory details of milly dowler. If you didn't the paper wouldn't sell. When you bitch and moan about what these rag sellers do. Remember, the do what YOU want! No go and have a loook in the mirror for the real blame. The public need to stand up un just stop buying this ****. It would fix the problem in a week!
