LONDON - Britain's News of the World tabloid will print the last edition in its 168-year history on Sunday following a devastating scandal over phone hacking, owner Rupert Murdoch's son James said Thursday.
The shock move comes after Britain's biggest-selling Sunday newspaper was hit by allegations that it had hacked the phones of a murdered girl, the relatives of dead soldiers and hundreds of celebrities, politicians and royals.
"Having consulted senior colleagues, I have decided that we must take further decisive action with respect to the paper. This Sunday will be the last issue of the News of the World," James Murdoch said in a statement.

British Sky Broadcasting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaLet's examine the facts.
The NotW hacked phones - not just of celebrities and politicians, but of missing children - raising false hope that they were alive. They hacked the phones of the families of the dead from July 7, 2005 terror attacks in London. They hacked the phones of the families of Britain's war heroes. They absolutely deserve to be closed down.
However..... what is in it for Murdock. He plays the 'outraged owner' and throws out the NotW. Why? Because he wants to buy BSkyB.... which is a far bigger fish than the NotW.
Having said that, anyone who calls for a media outlet to be closed just because they disagree with that station's coverage.... those people are unAmerican.... that's Chris. One wonders how many more on the left would be happy to see Fox closed down... for no other reason than they just don't like what Fox says.

News Corporation, currently has a 39.1% stake in BSkyB. News Corp also fully owns Sky Italia, about 78% of New Zealand's SKY Network Television Limited and b.net of Croatia and Montenegro.
The first CEO of BSkyB was Sam Chisholm, who was CEO of Sky TV before the merger. Chisholm served in this position until 1997. He was followed by Mark Booth who was credited with leading the company through the introduction of Sky. Tony Ball was appointed in 1999 and completed the company's analogue to digital conversion. He is also credited with returning the company to profit and bringing subscriber numbers to new heights. In 2003 Ball announced his resignation and James Murdoch, son of Rupert Murdoch was announced as his successor. This appointment caused allegations of nepotism from shareholders.[7]
On 7 December 2007 it was announced that Rupert Murdoch would be stepping down as BSkyB's Non-Executive Chairman and would be replaced by his son, James. It was also announced that James would be stepping down as CEO of BSkyB and will be replaced by Jeremy Darroch.[8]

Can't Dear Leader just outlaw all non-party news sources?
C'mon Chris, you can crush free speech and freedom of the press, you and your party just need to work harder!

I was talking about Murdoch shutting it down, not the government.

Why would Murdoch shut down the #1 news station? That would be stupid.
Rupert Murdoch is whats wrong with media in the western world.
LONDON (AP) Britain's voracious tabloids may have hit a new low: The News of the World was facing claims Tuesday that it hacked into an abducted teenager's phone messages, possibly hampering a police inquiry into her murder.
Britons are used to seeing their press harass royals, sports stars and celebrities, constantly eavesdropping and paying even the most tangential sources for information about stars' sex lives and drug problems.
Yet the hacking case involving 13-year-old Milly Dowler has horrified everyone, from British Prime Minister David Cameron to the hundreds of comments from people on Twitter.
Dowler's abduction in 2002 while walking home from school in Surrey, south of London, transfixed Britain until her decomposing body was found in the woods by mushroom pickers six months later.
But while police were pursuing all leads and Milly's parents were making dramatic appeals for any tidbit of information that could be useful, a private investigator working for the News of the World tabloid allegedly hacked into her cell phone, listened to her messages, and even deleted some to make room for possible new ones.
Mark Lewis, a lawyer representing Dowler's parents, said Tuesday the suspected hacking may have hampered the police investigation and he plans to sue the tabloid for its interference after Dowler went missing.
It was never determined how long Dowler was alive after being abducted but the tabloid's actions reportedly came in the days right after her disappearance. Police realized some messages had been deleted, giving them and Milly's parents false hope that she was still alive.
Pressure mounted Tuesday on Rebekah Brooks, editor of the tabloid when Dowler disappeared and now a top Murdoch executive in the U.K., to resign.

Because he doesn't want to burn in hell?
Rupert Murdoch is whats wrong with media in the western world.
Well yes, of course.
The party decides what the public should be told - the NY Times and MSNBC spread the words of the party.
THEN BAM, Fox comes along and tells the other side - NOT EVEN APPROVED OF BY THE PARTY.
Silencing the opposition is the primary goal of you fascist democrats - silencing Fox is a good start.
BTW, do you think all fucking thugs are as impotent as you?
Uncensored, Fox News is certainly supported by "the party",
just like MSNBC is supported by the other party.
I certainly hope you were being sarcastic with your post, because I know you're smarter than that.

No, not shut down for disagreeing, but for lying.
FoxNews has won the Lie of the Year award from Politifacts two years in a row.
But that California Girl....
