So this is what a real journalist looks like! I`d almost forgotten...

[MrSidewinder101]

corruption justified? Willful blindness is corruption in practice. Wiki leaks is under attack here again. Do the electorate want to protect Julian Assange from prosecution for exposing governmental sanctioned corruption/murder, or would they prefer to protect the families of murder victims from exploitation in the press? Guess what? We can have both... Don't believe we only have two choices, we can have whatever reasonable people believe in under the lew, as long as we express it!

Does not add much, other than his image of the NOTW closure as a plea-bargain which would unleash everyone - and so it has proved and continues to prove. Like "the opening of the Body Rupert", too. NB the muted warning against with-hunts towards the end ..

Has anyone hacked Coulson's phone?

It is not Rupert Murdoch's fault. He didn't know anything about what was happening. He has worked hard all his life and he is a great newsman. Please don't convict Rupert Murdoch of criminal activities without careful consideration. He is a powerful man who would be most displeased if he were wrongly accused, as he has a right to be.
