    Default Big News

    Read all about it!!!!

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...-tomorrow.html


    Britain's largest Sunday paper the News of the World is closing down this Sunday
    It is owned by Rupert Murdoch

    Its a very big story and a break through because it is down to journalists phone hacking being discovered some time back, being covered up.
    One of the main instigators became media advisor to the present Government against the advice of many.

    It has been suggested that the paper having hacked private mobile texts of politicians and many other had power over Police and Politicions
    Payments were discovered to have been made by the paper to Police officers for information too -- all this is illegal.

    So Robert Murdoch closed the paper down as of the last issue this Sunday.

    The potential for a lot of truth to come out is there.

    Yep - News International have already registered 'Sun on Sunday' .com, and likewise .co .uk. Just an excuse to rebrand, and get rid of a few honest journalists.....
    Murdoch is trying to 're-invent' and sweep the muck under the carpet. However - these practises were not just utilised by the News of The World, they are prevalent throughout his 'news-tweaking' global empire.
    Enjoy this wee take on his 'reality'

    My sisters boss's son was killed in Afghanistan and he believes his families phones were definitely hacked as they were approached by reporters with accusations of affairs etc. Can you imagine? Disgusting behaviour. Hopefully this is bye bye to another Rothschild Zionist. The Walls are tumbling down

    Yes the walls are tumbling down Lisba and this is only a beginning.
    The media brain washes many and their slant on the news is dictated by Rupert Murdoch, so the invasion of Iraq for example, was promoted by the Media Barons.

    There is no end to it, now their power is being eroded by this situation.
    Politicians are also being shown to be the possible target for blackmail.
    Through the phone hacking those with a life style that is not in keeping with being a MP are very vulnerable to all kinds of suggestion.
    They can possibly be manipulated to pass all kinds of bills through Parliament that are in the interest of the controlling elite.

    I feel this is a big step forward towards transparency and therefor a free society.

    Great news. I however don't share the same optimism of the whole corrupt media system crumbling anytime soon. But it does feel great to have a perpetrator being potentially jailed for traitorous to humanity type acts. I'll take any sliver of justice that prevails.

    And to be clear I'm not saying things wont become transparent. Just that I hold skepticism about it.

    For those of us unfamiliar with News International(News-of-the-World?), before all this happened was this a well respected newspaper like say The Times or the New York Post. Did people refer to it as a authority on current affairs?

    Some of what I've read makes it sound like a news stand shocker "prime minister is an alien" sort of thing and others put it a little up on the respectability scale.

    Out-take from the above link:
    “Covering and distributing news has been my life’s work,” said Mr. Murdoch. “If Genie’s effort to develop shale oil is successful, as I believe it will be, then the news we’ll report in the coming decades will reflect a more prosperous, more democratic, and more secure world.”

    LOL oh yeah this world for who? Not you and me that's for sure! (Maniacal laughing lest I cry.)

    I think there is another big party to blame: the millions of readers of the published crap. It's them who demanded for the most dirty stories. What is their moral?

    This is more a problem. Like junkies they will demand for the crap again.
