Way to go who do these scumbag so-called “journalists” think they are digging up dirt on these good European Elitist leftist progressive political hacks and apparatchiks. What an outrage! They should  be imprisoned and sent to some kind of re-education gulag. Then by God maybe they’ll learn to be good obedient respectable purveyors of  propaganda, like NBC and the New York Times.

Fox and Family know how to pick em.

Rebekah Brooks has been arrested by appointment today by “officers …

Yeah!    The next time the Feds want to haul in BigEddieGuy , we’ll tell ‘em to make an appointment .

Oh for Chrissake shut up.

they’re getting closer Uncle Ruppy….now they got one of your top generals…yanno, the one you were standing by…b4 long its gonna be your son and then you……do the righ thing scondrel, shut it all down

BWA-HA-HA  Piers Morgan is probably in no hurry to get back to the UK any time soon.

Pass the popcorn. I guess listening to the VMs left by Hugh Grant’s hookers is a serious crime over there.

Murdoch needs a younger chick anyways…this one is starting to look old…
I still think the old boy didn’t know or chose not to know wisely.
He is doing a fine job cleaning house and feeling the pain of Media.. karma..it’s a bitch..

It sure looks like she’s gonna earn that 5 million dollar severance package Uncle Rupert gave her to keep her mouth shut.

‘Ello, Miss Brooks,

This is Inspector Biggles of Scotland Yard. I do so hate being a bother, but would mind terribly coming into HQ at about…oh…12:00 noon so we might take you into custody, dear? Hugh Grant and others have their panties in a bunch about having their depraved sex lives revealed and they have asked that instead of doing real work that we bother you. I’m dreadfully sorry.

We’ll have the tea ready

While they do mention she is the 10th person arrested for the phone hacking, they do not mention Hugh Grant, just some dead girl.

Oh, and there is a separate investigation looking at allegations of inappropriate payments to police. Nothing solid on that yet, pass me the unbuttered lightly salted please…

Notice that they try to imply that the NOTW hacked into the girl’s phone without coming out and saying so. That’s so they can lead the  idiot’s like you to think that this is anything but celebutards are running scared and are trying to cover their tracks.

There is no report anywhere that any of the 9/11 victims  families had their phones hacked. That’s just another false planted story to get the morons riled up.

and another one gone, another one gone, another one bites the dust.
Hey, gonna get you too, another one bites the dust.

Don’t mind me if I use a comment that I previously put up elsewhere… Rebecca deMournay (props to Karl Pilkington) should play her
in any upcoming movies.You may remember her from the Three Musketeers
Movie with Charlie Sheen. She’d be the right age.’Can all the King’s Horses and Men put Rupie’s Empire back together
again? How long is it until he is in a PMITA Prison trying to show Big Black Bubba
how to ”hack” up some toilet wine for the Friday Night Prisoner’s
“dance”? He’ll be the Belle of the Balls.I’m sure Bekah will end up in a lovely women’s prison where she can
explain to all her new pals how she likes hacking into dead girls’
cellyphones and printing up the private medical information of a toddler
. Inmates love people who mess with children, as evidenced by their
treatment of convicts who have abused children. People like them so much
they get their own private rooms, isn’t that nice!Enjoy living on the gubmint dole Bekah and Murdie, I’m sure the UK
jail is nicer, but Rupie will be in good company with jerks like Madoff.
This couldn’t have happened to nicer people. Like Literally.

NUUUUUUUUUUUU I didnt fix the formatting, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

It’s called an investigation. The accusation is that they actually deleted her voice mails so she could receive more, and gave her family false hope that she was still alive. Regardless, hacking people phones for stories is despicable. Grant, Royal family, anyone. 

It’s called a ruse to fool the dimwitted among us that this is anything but an attack on a NewsCorp by the lefty media.

Sex. Drugs. Cheating. Lies. Tabloids USA.

RT America did a great job report on tabloid journalism that mirror that of UK  newspapers.

From the full linked article

>>Media commentator Steve Hewlett told Sky News: “The fact that she’s been
arrested is not entirely surprising – I don’t think it should be taken
to mean there is necessarily evidence pointing to her direct knowledge
of the events.>>

>>Mark Lewis, the lawyer for the Dowler family (the murdered girl), told Sky News he thinks the timing of the arrest “stinks”.Mr Lewis said: “To be arrested two days before a committee at which
she was possibly going to be at one time the only person from News Corp
giving evidence looks deliberate.”>>

Now why would the cops arrest the one being accused to avoid her giving testimony .Like I said…it’s all BS…..and the idiots are lapping it up like idiots do.

Bloody hell! Murdoch’s empire is beginning to unravel. The folks at Fox must be shaking in their boots. 

Can you tell if those depraved sex lives led to violating or breaking any laws? If you can’t; your posting is meaningless.

By the way, or you one of the Rock Hudson types? You know, all the women falling over themselves to get a piece of that meat?

What’s the over/under on when Rupert is arrested? Can’t wait until they start on Bill Sammons.

Bye bye Rupert and bye bye Fox News, when this is all over Fox will be some kind of home shopping network channel.

They should also arrest Piers Morgan. But since he works for a progressive media company, that’s not very likely.

They should also arrest Piers Morgan. But since he works for a progressive media company, that’s not very likely.

Can’t wait to see this as the lead story on Monday’s Fox and Friends….oh wait never mind.

Circling the wagon! I wonder if that was your daughter — if you have one? Would you be this cavalier. Do you think the pain is less to the family now, than it was when these people daughter was missing and subsequently killed?

Another kick in the groin for Rup and News Corpse.  I can’t wait to hear the Faux News spin.   

Fact: Purveyors of national military secrets come from the people at NBC and NY Times. Pathetic.

l love it.  No crime is indefensible–including listening to and erasing the voicemails of a missing and murdered 13-year-old–as long as it is committed by members of a conservative empire.

Have you any clue how incredibly hypocritical you are?

Should there be any evidence to support your position — my all means put the bracelets on him. Progressive media, liberal media, or moderate media is not relevant. Law breaking is law breaking.

I really doubt that! But if it will enable yu to make your stupid comments on this board over and over again with hardly taking a breath, more power.

How many is this now?  British law enforcement is moving closer and closer to the head of the snake, the criminal syndicate, Rupert Murdoch.   Rupert Murdoch is the Bernie Madoff of journalism. Fox News is the crown jewel of Murdoch/Madoff’s journalistic Ponzi scheme.

Repeat the comment I just made to skyfet.
Double it!

Fact: The way the liberals are falling all over themselves tells me that in the end will be just like the release of Sarah Palins Alaska e-mails. No smoking gun anywhere. BBBBBBBBBBBBWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

@ Cincy

Your posts are predominantly conservative talking points. You’ve posited a theory based on nothing but your own partisan preference, so you can insult people who don’t agree with you. There is a real investigation going on , and real people have been arrested. AS I said, hacking people’s phones, even if it was only celebrities and such is despicable and should be prosecutable.

there’s a really horrible dirty joke available here , but I’m going to refrain. It’s just wrong.

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/so-far-no-mention-of-piers-morgan-in-cnns-hacking-coverage_b76762

“As the U.K. hacking scandal continues to expand to other outlets, one of the people that may be dragged into the controversy is CNN’s Piers Morgan. Morgan was editor of tabloid the Daily Mirror in the late 1990′s and early 2000′s, and as we reported, it is believed that the Mirror may have relied on stories obtained by hacking at that time.”

Getting closer and closer to ole Rupert.

Roger Ailes should be arrested next and sent to Gitmo with the other conspirators. 

I know this NOTW/Murdoch story is killing your pagan buzz, but look at it this way in a few months you will have a lot more free time since Fox News became a 24 hour bass fishing channel. You like to fish?

You would never catch Hagbard Celine doing anything like that.

Brooks is the tenth person arrested — someone is going to talk, someone is going to cut a deal.  Wait for it.

Yes, going after a news organization that hacked into the phone of a family whose daughter had been murdered and erased their messages, giving them hope that their daughter was alive is obviously a Liberal plot and they are just picking on the good guys.

A week ago I thought Murdoch would come out of this unscathed, but now it is more than likely we will indeed see Murdoch and his scumbag son in handcuffs.

I actually believe in Karma now. Put these scum under the jail when you arrest them.

If you don’t think Fox and Roger Ailes are scared shitless right now you aren’t paying attention to this story. There have been reports from former Fox producers going back a few years that Fox was hacking phones and there was a room at Fox they called The Brain where this was being done.

At the time most people chalked up the story to a former disgruntled employee but now everyone is paying attention to that guy, because he was right.

Fox is history. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

The second largest stock holder of News Corp., who is a Saudi billionaire (imagine that Fox is owned by a Saudi, makes sense), was wondering why Rebekah Brooks had not been arrested, guess he pulled some strings.

Honestly I will start believing in God if I ever see Brian Kilmeade in a perp walk.

I would use the term “anti human” to describe them, but hypocritical works too.

Gee, do you think FOX News will cover this story? Doubtful, unless it’s a self-serving commentary indignantly using the term ”witch hunt”.What do the following terms have in common:Grape Nuts, pencil lead, FOX News

Fact: Liberal hack stuck on stupid talking points like polly the parrot!

Um, pretty sure the arrest of Murdoch’s very closest aides constitutes somewhat of a smoking gun, or at least an indication that one exists…

Just trying to imagine what you would be saying if this was an MSNBC scandal, and not a News Corp. one.

Yes. Heaven forbid Americans become aware of what their government does in their names.

Time for Fox News to gin up some fake news like a mosque building permit, some gun sales to Mexico, or a non-existent voter intimidation claim from 2008.

There you go, trying to confuse him with the facts again.

Pretty sure everything he just said is indisputably true.  But just call these facts “talking points” and they go away, right?

I’m going to assume you’re relying upon that ridiculous article at alternet that has to make leap after leap of speculation by the author based upon a story that even Media Matters’ Brooks won’t even comment on, and you KNOW he would if he suspected phone hacking.  So, come on, dude.  You really need to get a grip. 

To try and drag Fox News into a story that has nothing –Zero–Zilch–Nada–Zip to do with them — shows how pathetic you are.  You just can’t stand that Fox routinely beats your favorite liberal networks.  And why? Because the majority of people don’t like the lame liberal messaging.  So, take a look into the mirror and understand how immature you’re being here.  There’s still time to grow up and realize the errors of your ways.   

They’ve already done pieces on the “overreaction” of the “liberal media.”

So incredibly predictable, no?

Well, perhaps if they offered shopping for mentally deranged people, you’d have a new favorite channel!

How come OReally has never done a story on the poor returns for News Corp. investors?  Rup has done a crummy job on share holder investment.  He has no trouble going after GE.  Hardly fair and balanced.

Marvelous.  The arrest of Rupe’s redhead now puts the cops inside the executive suite of the Murdoch family.  Delicious.

You’re too funny, man.  Too bad people are laughing AT you, not WITH you.

Stay tuned. This is just beginning, last week some media guy said “today is the best day Rupert Murdoch will have for some time”. He was right it keeps getting worse. Bye bye Rupert and quite possibly bye bye Fox.

You think Obama and Holder’s Justice department who just opened an investigation don’t want to take them down?

Not Alternet, Rolling Stone

There should be a federal mandate in this country requiring every elementary education curriculum to include MEDIA LITERACY.   It
does not require genius to detect the bias, political frame, and
dishonesty presented by FOX News. But evidently it does require a
certain sensibility– one that can discern information from
entertainment, gravitas from spectacle, and discourse from diatribe.  The
most satisfying irony in this entire scandal is that Murdoch’s
operations succeed by utilizing textbook propaganda techniques, the most
powerful being the engagement and subsequent enhancement of the
subjects’ emotions. People are far more inclined to take action for
emotional, than rational causes.  It appeared the only way to
get the people’s attention over the hacking episodes, not to mention the
abhorrent sleaze factor employed, the systematic degradation of
journalism, and the egregious manipulation of elected officials, was to
boil it down to the case of a murdered girl and her distraught parents.
“The outrage!”  If whipping tabloid-reading Americans into a
frenzy by ferreting out some incidents of 9/11 victims phone-hacking is
the only way to expunge this global scourge, then so be it. But I’ll be
disappointed if the bigger picture fades into the background.  If
people don’t realize the danger to a free society if too much power is
concentrated into the hands of too few individuals, then they are
destined to suffer the consequences.

They certainly have supplied them with plenty of motivation.

ROTFLMFAO. For all the wingnuts out there, here are the “talking points”. First, it is a crime in Great Britain and the United States to intercept phone conversations when you are not part of the conversation. Now, second, this is where it well get very interesting. They simply bring in the accused and say a few choice words such as someone has just implicated you. Do you want to tell us about it and confess, or do you want to go to trial and risk a much longer sentence. HMMMM. I bet you will see plenty of “talking” and the conversation will be very “pointed” at the person above you in the food chain.

It’s a bad habit of mine!  Often gets me in trouble when debating with conservative commenters on the Mediaite site!

I don’t think it’s a ruse, or a strictly Rupert Murdoch alone scandal.  I think this story is so important because it could alter the journalistic landscape for England, one that tends to favor the tabloids.  I think this is the British government getting the opportunity to lash back at these tabloids with their less than ethical practices. If we, as Americans, continue to dismiss this as just a News Corp scandal we miss the much larger story that’s going on, and will feel a tinge of disappointment when just his British media empire is effected.  I’m following because I want to see if there will be a sea of change amongst the print journalism practices.  And if such a revolution will spill over onto our shores.  Again, it’s not a Rupert Murdoch story, this is a Media story that could change things.  Don’t underestimate what it’s total impact will be by assuming it will destroy FOX News.  And don’t underestimate what it’s total impact will be by claiming it’s a left wing media conspiracy to destroy FOX News.

I doubt it will reach Rupert Murdoch but I gotta say it is about time she was arrested.

Let’s not forget that so far this is happening to only one paper at News Corp. The destruction of fox News because of this is just wishful thinking.

It saves himself from putting his mouth in his foot like Fox and Friends.

http://www.alternet.org/media/151600/4_ways_the_murdoch_scandal_points_to_rot_at_the_top/

Journalistic rules require that stories about dead girls trump all other stories. Christopher Hitchens points out that, in a story about an airplane crash, one should mention finding a child’s toy in the wreckage, even if no such toy was found. He also says that when a woman’s body has been discovered, and she was sexually assaulted, the presence or absence of underwear is important — the readers expect it.

Why do you doubt it?

Yeah, but media reports said she was like a daughter to him, and apparently they have a very close relationship. The question will she be willing to “take one” for ole Rupert — or will she flip? His son James, seems to be in knee deep in this scandal. He’s definitely in the Cross-hairs __ he approved and cut checks to victims, as well as, the private investigators.

Piers Morgan was fired by The Mirror for digitally altering photographs to make it look as though British soldiers were torturing Iraqi soldiers. So if he would do something that despicable, it hardly seems to be a leap that he would reward detectives who hacked into voicemails. 

(From what we’ve learned these last few days, this seems incredibly simple and everyone should probably change their PINs or at least delete anything you do not want to read about in the NY Times.)

Fact: Your Fact = Equals your opinion!

I understand sensationalism, I also understand downplay which is what the poster that I was responding to was trying to do in protecting their house of worship, FoxNews.

The troll tried to make the story about “I guess listening to the VMs left by Hugh Grant’s hookers is a serious crime over there”

Excellent posting, Kermit. But in every instance where you mention Fox News Channel, or NewsCorp, or Rupert Murdoch, you could just as easily mention NBC/CBS/ABC/CNN, or Disney and Viacom and GE/Comcast and Time/Warner, or any of the executives at any of these media companies. 

And when you speak of “bias, political frame, and dishonesty”, you could easily be referring to the New York Times.

I understand why the left-wing papers are piling on. But they ought not claim that nothing like this has ever been done by their reporters, or that this is unique to the NOTW, or that there is a culture of bad behavior promulgated by Rupert Murdoch that pervades everything he touches. Someday Disney will be in trouble, or CBS like with the Dan Rather scandal, and they will want to isolate the damage so it doesn’t cause everything to tumble down.

@yahoo-NUT75XKRMJZ2QZJUUWOYH7Y7TA:disqus 
 I’m not sure where you got your information, but Rupert Murdoch apologized to the family of the young murder victim, so the allegation isn’t implied, an apology is pretty much an admission.

Also, there are some celebrities on the list of hacking victims as are members of the royal family, Parliament and an estimated 4000+people.

The FTC violated its own rules when it allowed the News Corp empire to expand across the US and into multiple markets. We need a new FTC, that will protect the american public airwaves from over concentration into the hands of a few and the lies and “mind control” that such power brings. The constart of lies and deceptions as exposed daily by Media Matters is far more revealing about the “righteous operations” of the MURDOGS media and far more offensive than a ‘WARDROBE MALFUNTION”. It is about time the FTC was reminded about its important mission and stop the pandering the the MONEYHOGS.

Actually it now encompasses the Sunday Times, which is a separate publication and the reports are that British authorities are looking at all of the News Corp. newspapers.

The FBI in the US has begun an investigation into News Corp and Fox for the suspected hacking into 9/11 victims and family’s phones. This is not proven, but the investigation was opened in response to a letter from New York Republican Peter King.

Murdoch already admitted the hacking involving the kidnapped and murdered little girl. This after he spent a lot of time denying it. Now suddenly he admits it after his 2 top people resign over it (one of them on this side of the pond running the Wall Street Journal.)

Thus far no direct links to Fox, but they sure seem determined to wish it away over there.

This red head will get raped in prison…ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! She deserves it!

Quoting from Alternet: “a narrative that has long defined the company ethos of News Corp, an ethos we describe in four points: 

1) The targeting of Rupert Murdoch’s political enemies, 

2) Lying to public officials in official investigations, 

3) Buying the silence of troublesome employees,

4) Lack of full disclosure of conflicts of interest”

To address these point-by-point… First, who are Murdoch’s political enemies? He supported the Tories, then Labour, then Tories again. It’s true that he liked Tony Blair and probably detested Gordon Brown, but that says more about Brown than Murdoch. In the US he favored Bill Clinton, then Hillary Clinton, and gave at least modest support to George W Bush. Barack Obama and his wing of the Democrats made Murdoch the enemy, not the other way around. (Remember that Labour was in the Government all through the period when this voicemail hacking was going on, and when all the initial investigations were shut down.)

Second, who lied to public officials? Little is known. It would seem logical for Coulson to try to shed the blame onto Rebekah Brooks, but can Coulson be trusted as far as he can be thrown? Given so little information, it is risky to make predictions; but I would not be surprised if the charges against Brooks are thrown out for lack of evidence. (The same with Les Hinton.)

Third, who was paid to keep quiet? We know many of the victims received cash payments, and some at least had to promise not to talk about the payments. But there was hardly a conspiracy to keep quiet something which was in the news in 2006 and which had resulted in firings, arrests, and convictions in 2006. Were there troublesome employees somewhere else who they refer to? Is there evidence that any employees were paid to keep quiet? 

And fourth, I don’t understand the charge of conflicts of interest, so I can’t address that. 

When any of the aforementioned companies mentioned in your posting get caught doing what it seems like NOTW or any other Fox properties may be implicated to have broken the law…..I’ll never defend the, i don’t care if they’re liberal, perceived liberal, neutral, or bland.

The New York Times had there problem with reporters making things up and plagiarizing. They dealt with it and took there lumps.

Fox and conservatives tend to circle the wagon, in spite of overwhelming evidence. Until you Cons are willing to stop protecting your own, you’ll continue to have zero credibility.

So let me asked you: If the script was flip — would you be a taking a more aggressive posture against…say MSNBC? Keep it real!

Anybody who doesn’t think murderoch paid her 5 to 10 million GBP to take the rap for this, so it doesn’t jeopardize his broadcast licenses here in the USA, is supremely naive.

http://www.alternet.org/media/151611/how_murdoch_reporters%E2%80%99_bribes_violate_u.s._law/

Fact: Manufacturers of facts (you know, the ones that aren’t true) all work at Fox News.

Opposing criminal behavior is out of the mainstream?  Because I hate to break it to you, but it is beyond dispute that Fox News’ parent corporation broke U.S. law by bribing foreign officials.

If he was involved, arrest away.  This liberal has absolutely no reservations about that.  

Doesn’t change the fact that he was working for Rupert Murdoch–acting as his agent, in fact–when he did it.

As both thebiggestbrax and I have said, arrest away.  Unlike the obvious indifference to law-breaking of many conservatives, I firmly believe that anyone involved, political affiliation notwithstanding, should be taken to account.

But again, does that change the fact that he was acting as Rupert Murdoch’s employee and agent when he did it?  If anything, just makes our argument all the more solid.

Seeing Roger Ailes frog-marched out of News Corp in NYC would make my day.

Lest we all forget.  IOKIYAR!

Since you claim to be an expert on the FTC — or do you mean the FCC? — perhaps you will tell us which rules were violated?

Quote: “The FBI in the US has begun an investigation into News Corp and Fox for the suspected hacking into 9/11 victims and family’s phones.”

This does not yet rise to the level of “suspected”, or even “alleged”. It is a mere speculation by people who have a vested interest. It is fine for the FBI to look into it, as long as the FBI is not on a partisan witch-hunt. 

Brax: I just think that when some people at one division of a multinational company do something wrong on another continent, it hardly seems logical to jump to conclusions about their operations here.

CNN is the only other global TV news organization, unless you want to count the BBC. The newspaper business is mostly local or national — few Americans pay attention to British papers though I like some of the columns at The Telegraph. At any rate, MSNBC is part of a multinational corporation, but if we learned GE nuclear reactors in Japan failed when they should not have, because of something illegal, would we be blaming the people in charge of NBC News?

I agree there is some “circling of the wagons’, perhaps because everyone had a partisan stake beforehand. When you have four major TV news organizations all representing the left wing of the political spectrum, all arrayed against Fox on the right, then accusations against Fox inevitably look like partisan ganging up.

The only link at all to NewsCorp operations in North America has been Les Hinson’s work at the WSJ. Yet we have people making accusations against Roger Ailes, of all people. It is that kind of insane hyper-partisanship which justifies my willingness, at least to defend everyone until they’ve been proven guilty.

She’s obvious another victim of the vast left-wing conspiracy. The London Police are in on it too.

What’s that you say? The Chief of the London Police just resigned?

Uh-oh…

Lilly: The Mirror, where Piers Morgan worked, was not a News Group Newspapers Ltd or News International paper. 

I think Robert Maxwell was running The Mirror at that time. He later drowned at sea under suspicious circumstances.

Lilly: If “is beyond dispute that Fox News’ parent corporation broke U.S. law by bribing foreign officials” then perhaps you can inform us which foreign official was bribed? And by who?

Opinion: You are a moron in my opinion. See the difference.

Fact: BBBBBWWWWWWAAAAAHHHHHH BBBBBWWWWWAAAAAHHHHHH. Anyone can comment as a guest and get away with it!

It took me a few minutes of searching to learn that RT stands for “Russia Today”.

As for the comments made by that “man in the street” about the New York Post, I could change that to the New York Times and it would be more accurate. I never read the Post, or the Times for that matter, but I get a digest every week of lies and deceptions in the NYT. Also, I’ve heard of Ted Rall and don’t consider his opinion unbiased.

Fact: They start looking at 9/11 victums they might find our own governments taps. Under Patriot act!

A newspaper reporter paying a source for information is not bribery. It may be perfectly ethical, or it may be totally unethical, depending on the context; but it is not bribery even if the news source is a policeman.

So this story is merely the hardcore Left howling at the moon….

Fact: UK story only with liberals howling at the moon. hahahahahaahaha…….

I’m a moron predicated on my one reply to YOUR claiming your: The Factoid?

Rupert Murdoch bringing UK “journalism” to the US?

You gotta wonder if Roger Ailes, Bill Sammon or any of the other former GOP operatives who run Fixed News are taking a lot of ambien trying to sleep at night. Did they restrain themselves from pursuing illegal methods in their engineering of the birth certificate, Obama Muslim card, Common the rapper, or other faux scandals? It is perfectly clear there is a culture of corruption at NewsCorp. It is just a matter of time before we know if there was any complicity at the “fixed and biased” news channel. 

Who would Clive Warren be playing?

Rape.  It’s always funny when it happens to political opponents.

The true face of the left is on full display today, it seems.

This is why the lef loves Hugo Chavez and adores Castro.They dont’t have to put with annoying press and can enjoy the friendly propaganda all day long.

Like the Metropolitan Police Commissioner and other assorted lowlives who accepted payments for information? Which IS illegal. That’s why Rebekah Brooks was arrested : to prevent or delay her testimony to the Parliament.

I don’t think so.It puts her in position to implicate the cops who took bribes.Their resignations have started,arrests to follow.Her arrest was a mistake by cops who panicked.

You know what I am really liking about the new comment client? Is the amount of Liberals who just came out of the woodwork to post on here. Keep it up we will outnumber these AntiAmerican POS soon enough.

They all are going down! First Glen, now Rupert! Hopefully, Rushbo is next!!!  Karma is a b**th!

But you know what else you can do with this new comment client? You can just not pay any attention to the unregistered morons. They self-identify themselves as bloggers-for-pay or the equivalent of spammers.

So we can tell that the entity known as “well_its_no_cannibal_holocaust”, who created an identity on Yahoo and keeps its profile hidden, established this identity this morning for no other purpose than to spread anti-Fox spam.

You are right, I did mean the FCC, I was reading an article about his News Corp Stock and got mixed up with the alphabet soup. Canada had enough sense to deny his request for extension just recently. Will use the site on the next reference to the FCC violation. I am not near my library right now.

I don’t know where you are coming from but there is nothing loveable about either Chavez or Castro. Seems you must have your facts wrong. It is Rupert Murdoch who is the Australian expatriate along with his Saudi Prince partner that has been lying to the american people and pushing the GOP internationalist agenda. Small govt, just meant let Wall Street free to rob, steal and defraud the american people and harm this economy, while deminishing the middle class. In 1985, there were 13 billionaires in the US and in 2006, there were more than 400 according to Forbes. I would say, Murdoch and his WALL STREET JOURNAL have done a real good job of spreading propaganda that tax cuts for the rich create jobs, de-regulation would increase investment in america and it goes on and on. How can you defend a man and his empire that is so abhorrent of real democracy??. Murdoch wasn’t shoving communism or socialism, he is pushing and selling internationalism for his corporate mogul buddies.

Carman, NewsCorp is a publicly-traded company and anyone in the world can buy shares. If some Saudi prince has bought up some significant number of shares, that would make him a shareholder but not Murdoch’s partner.

As for the editorial policies of the WSJ, I have been reading the paper for more than 30 years and it has not changed its policies during that time, either under Robert Bartley or Paul Gigot. The WSJ editorial page does not reflect the opinions of Rupert Murdoch, nor is there anyone on the editorial board who represents Murdoch or NewsCorp.

I hope you realize that Fox is done, this is the best story ever!

Um, sorry, no.  It’s unethical to pay a source for information.

Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics
http://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp

Journalists should be free of obligation to any interest other than the public’s right to know.

Journalists should:—Avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived.— Remain free of associations and activities that may compromise integrity or damage credibility.— Refuse gifts, favors, fees, free travel and special treatment, and shun secondary employment, political involvement, public office and service in community organizations if they compromise journalistic integrity.— Disclose unavoidable conflicts.— Be vigilant and courageous about holding those with power accountable.— Deny favored treatment to advertisers and special interests and resist their pressure to influence news coverage.— BE WARY OF SOURCES OFFERING INFORMATION FOR FAVORS OR MONEY; AVOID BIDDING FOR NEWS.

LibelFree, most of what we’re discussing here relates to legality and illegality. Not what is ethical or unethical. 

And that is basically what I was saying, so I wasn’t wrong.

I was referring specifically to your statement, [quote] A newspaper reporter paying a source for information is not bribery. It may be perfectly ethical, or it may be totally unethical, depending on the context…” [quote] I don’t know what “context” you’re referring to, but the Society of Professionals Journalists says it’s unethical to pay a source for information.

You’re wrong, and somewhat overly confident in your portrayal as an ugly partisan hack to rejoice in suppression of what you perceive as political criticism.

First of all and perhaps most importantly, the concept of the NSA legally listening-in on a citizen’s voicemail would be a different issue than hacking by a tabloid newspaper, though it also bears mentioning that the Patriot Act was a result of 9/11, so it wouldn’t have been in effect on that particular day.

Some of us have taken advantage of a name change for fun. (I was George L). I chose Devil’s_Spawn because it is what the ultra-conservatives must think of me. ;-)
Actually, I give you 4/5th Like because I want us liberals to set a slightly better language tone, as a good example. Unfortunately, I will now be accused of taking away liberties. Can’t win with those kooks. (Polite way of saying POS.)

As usual, if you don’t like it, it is false. Anyone who disagrees with you will sooner or later be called a blogger-for-pay.
How much do you think those (non-existent) people get paid to argue with a guy who won’t change his mind?
Nobody really changes anything by posting here. We just get to vent and that is that.

I am under no illusion that this British scandal will bring down Faux News. There is probably sufficient fire-walling, and Murdock won’t have a heart attack over it. 

Raped by another woman? You aren’t stupid enough to think there mixed sex prisons in the UK are you?
Conservatives, don’t let this represent liberals in your mind. This guy is anonymous for a reason.

That is opinion. Period.

Murdoch probably has enough smarts and lawyers to protect himself.

The guidelines of the Society of Professional Journalists seem to be observed mainly in the breach. I’m sure most journalists are ethical, but so many are not, including many of the most prominent, that the public has a low regard for the entire lot of them.

Other rules for journalists in their code of ethics”
Test the accuracy of information from all sources and exercise care to avoid inadvertent error. Deliberate distortion is never permissible.

Identify sources whenever feasible.

Always question sources’ motives before promising anonymity. 

Make certain that headlines, news teases and promotional material, photos, video, audio, graphics, sound bites and quotations do not misrepresent. (You hear that, Mediaite?)

Never plagiarize.

Distinguish between advocacy and news reporting. Analysis and commentary should be labeled and not misrepresent fact or context. (You hear that, NBCABCCBSCNNNYTWAPOLAT?)

Show good taste. Avoid pandering to lurid curiosity. (Newshour on PBS seems to be the only news outlet that doesn’t violate this one.)

Be judicious about naming criminal suspects before the formal filing of charges.

Fact: Liberals are the educated ones that can’t even spell FOX NEWS!

Fact: Liberals are the educated ones that can’t even spell FOX NEWS!

You really don’t believe for a minute that when two buds own 40% of a company’s stock, they have no interest in working with each other to achieve political and financial goals!! In addition, there is no way that Murdoch is not intricately involved in his media empire. And to believe that the man who is POWERFUL with an ego demanding compliance is just plain naieve. The WSJ is a boy toy for the master editor in chief and once again, Murdoch doesn’t have to sit on the editorial board to make his opinions known. That’s why you have “staff” to do your bidding. That is the whole idea of a good business man, isn’t it?? Lead, hire the staff that will “obey” and give the orders.

Carman, the editorial policies of the WSJ have been consistent for the 30+ years I’ve been reading the paper — it has not changed since NewsCorp bought Dow Jones. If Murdoch’s own opinions closely parallel those of the WSJ editorial board, that’s a good thing. If Murdoch has a different opinion, maybe he can express that opinion in one of his other papers; but he has not imposed any changes on the WSJ. All he asks is that it make money, and the WSJ is earning profits and enjoying modest increases in circulation; since most other papers are losing 10% of their subscribers every year, the WSJ is doing remarkably well.

If she’s involved in hacking phones and bribing the police, hopefully she’s convicted.  Lots of charges, I’m sure, is she was involved in deleted messages about a missing, later-murdered, girl.  Truly awful allegations, if true, hope the charges are swift and LONG.   

The WSJ is defending News Corp from its critics. It is really very hard to separate the two with this latest revelation of their defense of Murdoch.
