Murdoch's News of the World hacks dead teenager's phone

[Political Junky]

Uncensored, Fox News is certainly supported by "the party",

Nope, the party wants Fox silenced.

just like MSNBC is supported by the other party.

There is only one power party - only one who seeks to recreate the USSR with forcible repression of alternate viewpoints and sources of news not from the party.

I certainly hope you were being sarcastic with your post, because I know you're smarter than that.

Fox news is the opposition, the expose' of a controlled news that is run on behalf of the DNC with a leftist agenda. Silence Fox and you silence the opposition - which is what the anti-liberty left incessantly works toward. I could give a shit that Fox is pro-GOP, ANYTHING which provides news that the leftist media represses and openly lies about is a service to the nation.

I don't want to go back to a world where Josef Goebbels and Edward Murrow decide what people can know.

Telling the other side, as Chris Wallace said to Jon Stewart, is not fair and balanced.

 

[MikeFrank]

how is the word news used after the name Fox?

I will have you all know that they are shutting that God-forsaken "news" company owned by Crazy Murdoch in England down!

News of the World shut down in bid to end phone-hacking scandal - Telegraph

Murdoch's scandal-hit News of the World to shut down - CNN.com

That's ONE of that criminal's lying "news/media" companies down.

YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!

Party Time!!

Let'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.

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....

Then shut them all down, because each and every news channel has 'lied'.

Idiot.

The NotW didn't get shut down for lying, you fucking fool. It got closed because it's advertisers ran away - all of them - because the NotW hacked the phones not just of politicians and celebrities, but of the families of murder victims, and the families of Britain's war dead. The British public have some morals.... they tolerate media that takes a different political viewpoint to their own.... but they will not tolerate illegal and immoral behavior by journalists.

Big difference between the British and the American left wing.... you just hate Fox because they don't kowtow to your idiocy. Happily, many more Americans value freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Pity that the left do not.

Horseshit.

No one on the left if against freedom of speech.

This victimization on the right is hysterical. If anyone calls out FoxNews on their lies, then they are against "freedom of speech."

One day they will have to answer to God for their lies. I fear for them and you.

The RepubliCON$ are always crying over one thing or another.

Their slogan is "Republicans: Forever victims...Join Us and Weep!"

Right wingers love Murdoch. And everything he stands for. They have the same ethics. The same values. He talks for them.

Move to Close Newspaper Is Greeted With Suspicion

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.

Appalling beyond words.

This is absolutely appalling.

Murdoch has shut this piece of shit down.

Right wingers love Murdoch. And everything he stands for. They have the same ethics. The same values. He talks for them.

He's shutting the rag down.

I guess right-wingers are disgusted and appalled.

So you're not really opposed to the scumminess that Murdoch willfully engaged in?

What "news of the world" are you referring to btw?

 

[Colin]

Terrible stuff they do in the country formerly known as England to get a story. Americans tend to be complacent about the greatest document in the world, the US Constitution, but other countries don't have the same "bill of rights". I guess no laws were broken or somebody would be under arrest.

Best not to make guesses about things you know nothing about. Laws have been broken and it is likely arrests will be made today.

BTW, Another thing you seem to know little about...There is no country FORMERLY known as England. It still is England. Yet another snippet to improve your ignorance. Did you know that the English Bill of Rights of 1689, one of the fundamental documents of English constitutional law, was used as a basis for drafting the American Bill of Rights.

You really should engage your brain cell before allowing your orifice to flap!

What a surprise! The partisan hacks even manage to spout their shit in a thread about a British newspaper. Fucking idiot!

 

[Colin]

An intruiging question is why Rebekah Brooks, NoW Chief Executive, is not being fired by Murdoch. Especially since she was the NoW editor at the time of the Milly Dowler phone tapping. Brooks claims she knew nothing of phone tapping. Really? Here's a letter she wrote to the House of Commons when she was editor of another of Murdoch's flagships, the Sun. Seems she hasn't known anything about phone tapping for quite some time!

NoW's demise dominates newspapers...

Newspaper review: Demise of NoW dominates papers
8 July 2011 - The demise of the News of the World amid the phone-hacking scandal inspires headlines the tabloid's journalists would be proud of.

"Goodbye, cruel World" is the Daily Telegraph's offering, while the Daily Mirror and the Times both come up with "Hacked to Death". The Daily Mail talks of "the paper that died of shame" and the Daily Express has a similar "shut in shame". The Sun, the News of the World's sister paper, declares: "World's End".

Cynical move?

The Independent's headline, based on comments made by News of the World journalists, talks of the "newspaper sacrificed to save one woman". The Mail believes Rupert Murdoch's move was done to save his BSkyB deal and protect his son and News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks. The Guardian thinks it is a "clinical" or even "cynical" action by Mr Murdoch. The paper also reports that former editor Andy Coulson will be arrested on Friday but the police have not commented.

Yesteryears

There's little dancing on the grave, with several papers recalling years of News of the World triumphs and scoops. The Mirror says "before the name became sullied beyond repair... it was famous for its celebrity exposes, hard-hitting investigations and campaigns". The Telegraph says from its first edition in 1843, the News of the World "took pride in causing scandal and excitement with its coverage". "Yesterday was a day that Fleet Street will long mourn," muses the Times.

Photo finish

In other news, the Mail talks of the "staggering cost" of running the new MPs expenses system, following a study by the National Audit Office. The Independent says microbiologists at North Carolina State University have found that belly-buttons contain 1,400 strains of bacteria in a study. Many papers have photos of the very last Harry Potter film, after its premiere in London last night. "We salute one of the greatest British success stories ever," says the Sun.

Difference between you and I - I would never call for the closing down of any media outlet - no matter how much I disagreed with their agenda. That's a basic love of freedom. The left loves freedom - for them, but not for others.

You need not 'fear' for me, I'm smart enough to work out the difference between truth and lies.... apparently, you are not. If you were, then Fox would not be the only outlet you'd be howling to have closed. You'd be howling about MSNBC, CNN and ABC for a start.

Your problem - too hysterical, not enough logic.

Idiot.

 

[California Girl]

Andy Coulson (former Editor of the NotW) has been arrested. LMFAO. How the mighty are falling.

 

[MarcATL]

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

Why would Murdoch shut down the #1 news station? That would be stupid.

Because keeping it open would be DETRIMENTAL to his business and his so-called "credibility" or what he thinks is his credibility.

IMO, he has none.

"Love of freedom" has nothing to do with this, and you know it.

FoxNews has done more damage to this country than Al Qeada ever will.

And I do fear for you. What FoxNews does is morally wrong.
