MSNBC’s Chris Hayes: Was Shutting Down News Of The World A Way To ‘Destroy The Evidence’

While News International’s shutdown of News of the World confirms at least some wrongdoing on the part of editors there, many questions are still left unanswered, particularly in light of the fact that the head of the paper, Rebekah Brooks, has apparently survived the storm for now. On The Last Word tonight, host Chris Hayes gave a comprehensive recap of the story thus far and questioned why head Rupert Murdoch would “throw the journalists [of News of the World] under the bus.”

While the Murdoch family continued to clean up after it was revealed that the paper’s employees may have hacked into several numbers belonging to celebrities, terror victims, and assorted people that they found may be useful for a story, Hayes reported that the employees at the paper there were cleaning up their desks, the century-plus-old paper now a thing of the past. Some even tweeted that they were “getting driuuuuuuuunk” in reaction. Hayes welcomed back The Independent‘s Archie Bland to discuss the mood among the former employees of the company, which Hayes argued, from the given posts, “feel like they’re being sacrificed to protect Rebekah Brooks.”

“They’re completely right to feel that,” Bland replied, adding that “the paper has kind of cleaned house since those days” when they were alleged to have been hacking papers– “this isn’t really the practice that goes on there anymore.” He also noted that what would be a top headline on any other news day– former News of the World editor and current Director of Communications Andy Colson potentially being arrested tomorrow– seems to have become second fiddle to the very old paper closing its doors.

The motive behind that decision, Hayes then noted, is still obscure. Both Hayes and Bland agreed that it was a possibility that they believed shutting down would prevent further investigation or permit records to be kept private, but ultimately no conclusive reason for the reaction has been given.

You almost have to feel sorry for liberals. Everyday they get up and say, “this is the day we are gonna get rid of Murdoch, Ailes, and FOX News”, and every night they go to bed disappointed. Sorry guys!

Murdoch is a cult. They hack thousands of phones, including terror victims, and a missing 13-year-old girl whose parents thought her phone activity meant she might be alive – she’s DEAD, you assholes – and the Fox News disciples can only come here to laugh at liberals and defend Murdoch. Sick.

Yeah, I hate America, Obama and Soros wage war on FOX because they love them. No, they do it because they FEAR them. And they have good reason too. Unfortunately, their war has proven to be one EPIC FAIL after another.
Liberal Tormentor – tormenting liberals with logic and facts since 1972

Joe, if you have any evidence that Murdoch knew about and condoned what happened, BRING IT!

Hey, I just read a story of a gov’t employee committing murder. Shall we blame Obama? I mean the guy worked for him, so Obama must have condoned the murder. The hatred and rage you libs feel towards FOX has rendered you unable to form any rational thought.

News of the World goofed to the nth power we know this and Murdoch has a lot of explaining to do, but also don’t try to pretend that you wont use this to fuel your anti-Fox or anti-anything-I-don’t-agree-with rhetoric.

Oh sure, this shit ran deep and wide, and the Murdoch family knew NOTHING about it. Bullshit. Rupert is a dirty tabloid hack, and his son is even worse.

Democratic strategist and bomber– Milton H. “Skip” Ohlsen III. (P-D)

Top local democrat Milton Ohlsen III was indicted today for planting a bomb in a parking garage that injured a local attorney.

A former Democratic political operative has been indicted by federal authorities for allegedly planting a bomb in a CLayton parking garage in 2008. The bomb went off, seriously injuring a Clayton attorney. Police believe he was not the bomber’s intended target.

As the head of the Dem party, we need to find out what Obama knew and when did he know it. He’s got a lot of explaining to do.

Thank you Chris Hayes for breaking this big story yesterday.
As usual, the rightwingers are misjudging and deflecting the seriousness of Murdoch’s situation. It will have a negative effect on FOX in this country. The privacy laws in Britain are different than here. Just imagine if the New York Post or the New York Times were to use hacking to get information on someone. It’s mind blowing that the News of the World which is one of the oldest newspapers in Britain has been instantly snuffed out. The News of the World is worth 100’s of millions, and hundreds of people will lose their jobs. Murdoch runs a tight ship and obviously tolerates a lot of slimey stuff. Let’s face it, FNC distorts and cherrypicks the news better than any other MSM outlet. The reason he got rid of Beck was the backlash he was getting from advertisers and some of his power player friends – many of you still don’t get that Beck was a dangerous nut job, who, fortunately, has lost his megaphone. All in all, this is not a good event for rightwingers in this country and Britain. Obviously, many of us are not shedding too many tears for our former Master of Propaganda, Rupert Murdoch.

Joe, again I say, if you have any proof he knew about this and condoned it, BRING IT. In case you missed the Anthony trial, you are innocent until proven guilty.

I’ve explained ad nauseum that the Murdoch family are tabloid scum who create an atmosphere of “whatever the f*ck it takes”. That makes them culpable, ESPECIALLY the goon ON SCENE in Britian. You’re an apologist cult follower who doesn’t give a damn about anything but protecting the mothership.

I’m not apologizing for anyone. I’m just not willing to tar and feather someone without proof just because I hate them.

Yes or No, if you are the head of an organization, are you responsible for everything that goes on under you? And I don’t mean responsible as in the buck stops here, but if an employee commits a crime that you had no knowledge of, should you be put in jail? Yes or no?

In the case of the News of the World, I actually agree. The NOTW was a cancer and had to be eradicated. They hacked into the voice mail accounts of 7/7 survivors, kidnapping victims, government officials and dead troops. They passed bribery cash to police officers through an East London McDonald’s drive-through window. I hope the investigations continue but the entire British establishment is so terrified of NewsCorp that they probably won’t.

On that note, Rebekah Brooks is being kept around for only two reasons: she knows where the bodies are buried in Britain, and she is the only thing standing between James Murdoch and a pair of handcuffs. If she goes down, she will open up her voluminous email and text message archives and destroy countless members of parliament, media figures, police officials and News Corp executives. Let’s hope that’s exactly what happens.

Just how stupid have you become, Joe? At one point you were somewhat reasonable and made sense… now you’re just making things up for your own ideological reasons.

Nobody on the right is happy that these folks were hacked. Nobody thinks that was a good thing, or is defending that action. That’s all made up in your sick little mind.

What we are saying is that you have NO evidence that Murdoch had anything to do with it, other than owning the company. If you have any evidence (and since you don’t seem to understand what evidence is, I’d recommend you look up the definition and educate yourself) then present it. Otherwise, understand that you’re making assumptions, and putting forth your own imagination as proof.

Either your ego has grown out of control, or your mind has left you. Either way, you may want to consider finding another way to spend your time. This blogging thing isn’t working for you anymore.

JoeRemi said:

And that’s really the crux of the matter. You hate Murdoch because the left told you do, and you follow obediently. So when something bad happens at a Murdoch owned place, you make assumptions, create stories, and generally make an ass out of yourself. It has nothing to do with the victims in this situation, and you’re extra pathetic for pretending that it does. You just hate Murdoch. Period.

You just want to believe it so badly… so it MUST be true. You have no evidence, you have no proof… but you BELIEVE it. And yet, you have the nerve to say anyone else is a “cult?!” Do you even read what you write?

One paper out of the many he owns messed up (messed up very bad). I don’t really think we can judge the entire News Corp company on the actions of people from a single paper. Now if we get evidence that Murdoch himself (be it James or Rupert) personally was hacking these phones then I will personally join you joe but right now all we know is that people who worked for him was hacking and the entire paper is dead now and the people are fired.

This is not good in the least bit for News Corp, but to blame the entire company for the mistakes is ridiculous.
JoeRemi

Come on, Jacky..this is in a long line of cheap, deceitful, tabloid hackery that NewsCorp has been practicing for many years. There’s a culture of “whatever it takes” over there, and decency and journalism are very low priorities for those bottom-feeding bastards. You guys defend it because you think Murdoch is the only conservative outlet you have. Maybe if more of you would stand up and demand better, you would get it. These people are taking you for a ride.
Jackyboy

Firstly, Can we be clear that this was a Tabloid? A tabloid. Scandals, celebrity gossip, sightings of bigfoot, these are staples of the paper and any other Tabloid in the world. If you’re getting your news of the day from a tabloid News Corp is the least of your problems.

Second, thank you for telling me that I am basically too stupid to pick and choose where I get my news from and I am just another cog in the machine for Murdoch’s devil enterprise and my soul will be damned to hell for all eternity. Thank you joe for being an all knowing divine being. It is very much appreciated…
damien

I wonder if I may intervene, as I may offer some insight into this incident. You see, for a very brief time, I worked for a News International paper (the Irish edition of The Sunday Times, if you’re interested), and I can say that James Murdoch would have had very little control over my actions as a writer for one of his papers. I very much doubt he even knew my name. And it’s a bit lazy for you guys to be using this incident to damn the entire News Corp operation.

This being said, as someone who made a living in professional journalism for this company, I can say it’s absolutely inconceivable that Rebecca Wade (or whatever she’s calling herself now) didn’t know what was going on and where her journalists were getting their info from, especially when we consider the scale of this, and if she’s allowed to keep her job this would indeed be a bad stain on the Murdoch empire. The destroying evidence argument makes sense to me. It could at least be partly the reason for the closure.

I really can’t shake the stink of 200 News Corp employees being thrown under a bus to protect this woman.

Well, yes, but one must remember that tabloids in Britain work slightly differently from the American equivalent (I’m thinking of the World Weekly News, et al). They do tend to have those things (apart from Bigfoot sightings, that’s really just an American thing), but all the same, they’re expected to maintain a certain standard of quality in their reporting that it seems to me doesn’t apply to American tabloids. A British tabloid is more comparable to American network news (one network in particular).

They were laughing at the liberals who are trying to make this a witch hunt, while pretending that they give a crap about the actual victims in this story. YOU are a perfect example of that. But to suggest that they’re not or haven’t condemned the actual crime is a lie.

It’s a f*cking cult of “yes men” hacks who support anything Murdoch’s putrid empire does.

Bull. It’s a bunch of people who respect that Murdoch has been able to buck the trend of liberal leaning networks, in favor of a conservative leaning (or at least conservative respectful) network. The left continues to be enraged that their monopoly is broken, and will stop at nothing to get things back to the way they are. THAT is your cult… the people who believe they’re so correct, that nobody better dare disagree. YOU are a member of that, as evidence by your complete detachment from reality, and belief that your “feelings” in this matter somehow correlate to evidence.

Now like I said before… either get some sort of proof, or stop making an ass out of yourself.

The only positive to come out of this so far, is that for months I’ve been saying you’ve become just another irrational, irresponsible, egotistical ideologue with no sense of respect for people who disagree with you. Your “holier than thou” persona has finally reached it’s apex. And as proof, re-read the comments over at ICN… where you’ve previously told me you’re more “mature.” Even they recognize you’ve lost it. I guess I just saw things ahead of the curve.

Then it’s a good thing we have you around to think for us. I mean, what would we do if we were left to making our own decisions, and coming to our own conclusions. Good thing you’re here.

Do you really not see yourself as arrogant? Are you that self unaware?

Now run off and mumble about your fake ACORN controversies and your fake voter intimidation and your fake Muslim caliphate.

Yet again, you show your real reasons for your “belief” in this situation. It’s not because of the victims (as you claim), it’s because you don’t like the opinions expressed by some of News Corps’ talent. How pathetic. You take the violated privacy of a missing girl and her family, and turn it into just another pawn in your ideological war against people who disagree with you. Have you no shame? Have you no decency? Have you no sense of appropriate behavior?

I don’t give a shit about the opinions. It’s the lies, deceit, and tabloidization of the news I object to. Now add to that hacking victims’ phones, and I’m REALLY pissed.

Do you really think this? Do you think anybody really buys that you’re not freaking out at NewCorp out of “standards,” and not ideology? You’ve got to be kidding. I’ve read your crap for long enough to know that’s not true. As the time has gone by you’ve gotten less and less tolerant and respectful towards people who disagree with you. You’re not fooling anyone. This is ideological, pure and simple.

I also object to the constant lib-bashing that goes on here on every damn thread.

“Waaaa! Everyone’s mean to my opinions. It’s okay when they’re mean to everyone else, and I don’t have to do any better… but you guys shouldn’t make me feel so bad. Waaa!”

Grow up.

You’ve got that Liberal Tormentor idiot who responds to every topic with the same mindless idiocy. Then there’s the Tea Party guy who is fascinated by the phrase “d-crat socialist”. Buncha useless goons. Perfect Murdoch fodder.

Yeah, clearly you’re not into it for the “opinions.” It took you exactly one post to prove the lie in your previous one. How pathetic. There’s room for you over at KOS, Joe… maybe you’d be happier in that echo chamber.

Going wacky is all you can muster as a response. Pretty weak don’t you think? But your lack of a substantive response indicates your lack of any ability beyond a knee jerk, empty , emotional response,

I guess you didn’t read the rest of the post. How many stories would you like to see? This is only one of a few (many were under the “Print” heading). What more would you have liked to see?

Thanks for explaining myself to me, Blue. I had no idea that everything I thought really was a different thought. Things are so much clearer now. Hack.

Rupert Murdoch is scum, and it’s finally catching up to him. Burn, NeswCorp, burn.

Well, that’s obvious. If you understood (or stopped lying) about your real intentions, you’d have figured this all out by now. But you like pretending your all high and mighty, so you ignore the obvious.

Just more ideological blather from a hater who sees nothing wrong in manipulating a legitimately bad situation, and exploiting the attempted exploitation of a missing girl for his own political purposes. What a bad person you’ve become.

Oh, and just for giggles… I dare you to find one bit of evidence that suggests Murdoch (either of them) knew anything about this. Go ahead… pull up a document.

If you can’t, and all you have is your “feeling,” then tell me why I should take you seriously, when it’s just emotion and fantasy that you’re basing your complaint on.

My “feeling” is that you’ll defend the Murdochs until it becomes blatantly obvious they contributed to this shit, because you’re an apologist hack for a family that is destroying the news media.

We need a legitimate conservative voice in this country. NewsCorp is not it.

How is the MSNBC on-airs going to spin the jobs report today?

9.2% up from 9.1%
………………………………………..
If you know anything other than false spin, there wasn’t one show on network that used any word, other than bad! What you could learn is, when the rate goes down (and has) the conservatives take credit 100% of the time! (yet no jobs bill) At least “Fox” is more steady, when the rate goes up, the end is near, when it goes down, it really didn’t go down! I think you have this covered now, Bachmann wants the rate to go up, so now all the fine moral christians will get their new world order! (never mind the cost) Keep the spin alive.

Chris Hayes’ remarks indicate that he is unable to fathom any act resulting from ethical values. Of course he is probably not that stupid but like the liberal idiot he is, he is promoting the alleged ulterior motive.
