Murdoch's news-tainment machine is soulless & evil

[metalman]

Yes, that says Gordon Brown's bank info and the medical records of his son were hacked. And yes, it says it was by other Murdoch papers than News of the World. It's his whole dirty business - half propaganda machine, half spy agency.

When Julian Assange steals secrets, it's good,
when Murdoch's hacks do it its bad.
hmmmm

Murdoch just needs to rename the paper "WikiLeaks of the World" and hire Julian Assange as editor

Googling for news on this it seems like the Murdoch owned entities aren't publishing much on it. Strange.
Fox has some articles but they are publishing in foxbusiness not fox news.

Your insinuation is that there is an equivalence here rather than a shared aspect. If your moral compass is still swinging wildly maybe you can calibrate it a little against the following hint. A sharp shooter in a hostage crisis and John Wayne Gacy both kill.

I was about to make a similar point but you put it better than I would have.

Much as it's fun to watch him squirm a little, even if this episode resulted in the downfall of Murdoch's empire, I can't help thinking he's more of a symptom than the cause.

Government will vote with opposition on bill to urge News International to drop it's bid to acquire BSkyB.

It's only symbolic of course.

he will weasel out but I would love to watch him squirm

"......the big fat mouth of Rebekah Brooks" - LOL, I love Australians

News International have just withdrawn their bid to take over the remainder of BSkyB. (They already own around 40% of it, I think.)

N.I. have just dropped their bid.

I just hope the public can stay awake long enough that when they come back in a year or so from now, people still give a toss.
One of the things that's been mostly overlooked in all of this is that one of the reasons slugs like Murdoch exist is because of the public's never-ending, insatiable desire to consume meaningless, celebrity gossip, as opposed to actual news.

That isn't about to disappear, even if Murdoch and N.I. do.

But is it evil enough that people will care?

It appears the right people are beginning to care. It looks like the Murdoch media empire lost about $7Billion with about $2Billion to him personally.

I hope you do understand the moral difference between revealing murderers and revealing the private lives of murder victims?

Some people are a bit too focused on their own self righteousness also it seems...

I wonder how it comes that now all of the sudden this all is being revealed...

It's been rumbling along in dribs and drabs since at least 2007 but it didn't have any public resonance until the murdered school girl.

 

[Speelgoedmannetje]

this is the great thing about being anonymous


I'll get busy wishing cancer on that bastard......it couldn't hurt, right LOL

Maybe this is something for you
