Something needs to be done about this. The Fourth Estate needs to be reined in and some NOTW heads needs to not only roll, but be prosecuted.

This.

NOTW have really crossed the line now. F**king disgusting.

Now????

Apart from the fact that this was years ago, there seems never to have been a line in the first place.
Obviously, I'm speaking of a hypothetical world in which there is a greater club than Tottenham.

Too simplistic an analysis, resulting in too facile a prescription.

Bit like prescribing a cancer patient a course of analgesics.
how ?

crap analogy btw :pow:

Crap analogy? It's the best I could do while walking home from the bus. Actually, I thought it was OK and gets my point across fair enough.

You saying "stop buying" is too simple an analysis because the Right has infiltrated every aspect of our media to such an extent that no matter how hard we try to stop them from foisting their philosophical poison and diatribe at the masses, the odds are now very well stacked in their favour. To say "stop buying their rags" ignores the way that Murdoch has insidiously woven his Empire into the fabric of our daily political, social, cultural and economic life to such an extent that it is very analogous with a cancer, eating away at all that is good and healthy, growing by stealth and transference until its journey is complete.

I really had no idea you could be so articulate. And that was in April!

For all the Murdoch haters, he actually has someone who works for him that even HE is afraid to tackle, meet Mr. Fox News himself:

http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/how-roger-ailes-built-the-fox-news-fear-factory-20110525

This is a thoroughly astounding piece, take your time to read it. It's long, but worth it. Sheds a lot of light on the Murdoch empire and philosophy, and why people like Roger Ailes will not only always be around, but usually always win. You can't get rid of the right, but you can continue the fight with making sure logic and humanism prevails.

if those people that bought the rags yet tutted and shook their head at such stories just stopped buying them it would have more affect than a petition. the only thing murdoch understands is cash and thats the only way to hit him.
Bullshitters misrepresent themselves to their audience not as liars do, that is, by deliberately making false claims about what is true. In fact, bullshit need not be untrue at all.

Rather, bullshitters seek to convey a certain impression of themselves without being concerned about whether anything at all is true. They quietly change the rules governing their end of the conversation so that claims about truth and falsity are irrelevant.

It's an utter despicable and disgusting thing to do, but:

According to one source, this had a devastating effect: when her friends and family called again and discovered that her voicemail had been cleared, they concluded that this must have been done by Milly herself and, therefore, that she must still be alive. But she was not. The interference created false hope and extra agony for those who were misled by it.

sounds like something out of the Daily f***ing Mail.

The Mail is actually the paper that has been found to have used phone hacking the most, however the NOTW has clearly taken the lead in having no morals whatsoever. Utterly despicable and they should be banned from publishing imo.

UK assrag the News of the World is today's c*** of the Day.

The UK's global reputation for having the scummiest, s***-sucking tabloids has gone up several notches as the Guardian has revealed the truly despicable depths the News of the World's phone hacking scandal went to.

Hacking the phones of celebrities is one thing, but to hack the phone of a missing girl is incomprehensible to most people. Not only was the girl's phone hacked, messages were deleted which offered false hope to her parents that she may still be alive.

Who exactly is responsible for this? Wouldn't it be easy if Glen Mulcaire, the man already in jail for hacking phones for the paper, could be set up to be blamed for it all? The newspaper's editor at the time, Rebekah Brooks, has said it is inconceivable she knew about the hacking. Many people, including politicians, think it utterly inconceivable that she did not know what was going on at her own paper and believe she should resign as chief executive of News International.

It is more than likely that there are a whole host of guilty parties, all of them on the payroll of evil, wrinkly fuckwad Rupert Murdoch. As chairman and CEO of News Corporation, Murdoch cannot distance himself from his own organization, an outfit that has led the way in fostering scumbag journalism and the lowering of standards across all types of media.

The News of the World is peopled by nothing but human scum, people who make a living doing the journalistic equivalent of smearing s*** over windows. These soulless, indecent f***s live off earnings that can easily be considered immoral. The roll call includes all the News of the World's so-called journalists, those they hire to do their dirty and often unlawful bidding, its editors and its owners. They are all c***s of the Day and so much more. For such people there is no redemption and no forgiveness. Ever.

Sponsored by people who were disgusted to learn that India's health minister, Ghulam Nabi Azad, has told a press conference that homosexuality "is a disease which has come from other countries". What a backward f***ing asshole the man must be.
Sir John Hall: "I was told that the man behind the deal was Mike Ashley and I sat with his representatives over three days thrashing out a deal. I was keen to know why they wanted the club and they were quite honest. They wanted to market their sports goods in the Far East and would use the club to help do this."

Good. Roy Greenslade was suggesting various steps people can take if they want to strike back at Murdoch and the NOTW on this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/greenslade/2011/jul/05/newsoftheworld-milly-dowler

Ford have withdrawn their sponsorship from the NOTW.
