The owner of the Independent attacks people on live TV.

A lof of Sin Binners read that...

Back to your usual stock-in-trade argument when you can't find anything relevant to say?

Please explain how anything that's been said against Murdoch in this thread, even comes close to a display of envy?

Apparently Murdoch didn't think too much about the "violent criminal offence" either, he didn't support the assault charge but good to see your knack of sensationalism hasn't abandoned you

A violent criminal offence!








So you think hacking phones of dead schoolchildren is ok then?

Personally, I think the bloke who did that was a bloody self-promotional idiot. It deflected attention from Murdoch and even gained him some sympathy on the grounds of his age.

But the idea that Murdoch is some sort of okay geezer or that, if you do not specifically buy his products he doesn't affect you is ... Well, words fail me.

If it makes money for someone ...

Spot on

I wish all this 'hacking' stuff would go away. It's not hacking at all. Every mobile phone network has a voicemail service that be accessed using nothing but the phone number. We used to do it all the at University 10 years ago. The aim was to change the greeting to something comedic, but we could have listened to the messages. They've not been hacked by some super -tech criminal like the media make it out to be.

The pressure over the 'hacking' stuff should have gone on the networks in equal measures to that the press received. And on the 'dead schoolgirl' incident, I don't believe for one second that the police couldn't have found out which number did the deleting of the messages, if they'd bothered to ask.

It's easy to break into some houses too, doesn't mean you should do it.
I don't think anyone has made out it to be a super-tech crime. It's been made out to be what it is, a massive invasion of privacy by some irresponsible, gutless, hyprocritical t0sspots.
The press' reaction to being investigated by the police and the Leveson Inquiry shows you all you need to know about vast swathes of that industry.


Why? It was the press doing the hacking not the tv or radio networks.

It's a criminal offence. It was ignored by the police, it should not "go away".

You have also just admitted to regularly breaking the law.

How did they do that, then?

Were there any t!ts in the opening edition? Maybe Mr Bellfield managed to get hold of a copy and knock one out from the comfort of his prison cell? Perhaps it made a change for him instead of bashing one out over fooking the thirteen year old to death?

I just stole 3 old jokes about Murdoch from a comedy website and put them together. I'm not angry and bitter, just a little disappointed and maybe a little hurt no one thought I was funny.

I’m not envious of Murdoch I’m just a sad lonely soul trying to make some friends...surely you can relate to that...will you be my friend Standee?

"You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money
For people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait"

And just ‘Imagine’ apparently it isn’t hard to do?

I can't always afford to be moral it's true...if only I had Murdochs money.

Personally, I really envy those who are going to end up in prison for their corrupt actions ...

He's always been a green-eyed basta[ir[/id, that Leveson.

Seem to remember reading that Brookes has recently become a parent via surrogate mother.
Hypothetically speaking, does anyone know if sentencing judges take things like dependant offspring into consideration when setting tariffs?

That doesn't surprise me. If she was to give birth herself, it surely wouldn't be human.

That'll be life then, in the interests of the child.

The only way I'd give her it......Is with a lump hammer! She'll be prime meat for them big butch one's in Holloway.

It makes you wonder if the sun on Sunday will set the record for the shortest run of a British newspaper of a time.

I was in two supermarkets and a newsagent at the weekend, and couldn't help notice the piles of the paper in all of them, towering over their nearest rivals.

It doesn't look good if they can't even sell the first issue.

I read somewhere that it sold about 3m copies

Interesting how they determined that figure, given that the unsold copies will not have been parceled up and collected by the wholesaler until Monday morning at the earliest. I seriously doubt the credits for unsold copies are known even now, Tuesday PM.

Once upon a time there was a tradition in the record industry (certainly in the US) of claiming higher sales than were really generated (and paying taxes etc on these fictional copies) for the simple reason of "it looks good and helps to sell the next one".

I'm just saying, like.
