Mr Rupert Murdoch is the owner of News International which in turn owns both The News of the World and The Times.
Draw your own conclusions.

You fucking arrogant retard... Nothing to do with dirty scumbags hacking dead kids. Its the mums fault. Reap what you sow fuck face.

[voorface]

Harry Hill is a bit of a twat these days

[eric kenyon]

Well done girls. I know they will be happy with their twitter campaign and will be feeling exremely pleased with themselves. What a shame, 200 lovely , hard working journalists and editors out of work. Awww.

Hopefully these do good yummy mummies can get another campaign going for the nicejournalists at the Scum and get them on the job market. Economic sense.There will be 400 lovely, law abiding , women friendly journalists and editors going for the same amount of jobs. you know it makes sense

[James Hart]

Well done MumsNet then. Nice to see the Police are now looking at the Times.  Perhaps Mr Alton might not feel quite as smug really soon.

[BeholdZeus]

Oh go and fuck yourself!

[Runrome]

not as pleased as those who made a fortune for years out of smearing vungrable members of the public such as the unemployed mentally ill and others.

Not as pleased as the Murdochs and co were at getting rich by trashing scousers and any other member of the public to pander to the lowest common denomonator and get rich on the back of it

[drogheda1966]

Waa-waa-a-a. >sniff<...all those years of leading the vanguard of forthright, unbiased, integrity-driven, responsible journalism, and just like that...the cream of that shrinking world out of work.

[pastrychef1985]

Using a very badly researched string of ad-hominem to discredit your opponents is a very desperate move indeed, showing lack of imagination, wit or even knowledge about them -- oh wait, news international has employed the same ad-homs for years!

(The bloody knuckle dragging, white van driving, overly stewed tea drinking lunkheads !)

[estebancomulet]

Yes it was all mumsnet. Agreed. They were wholly responsible for the industrial scale hacking operation and subsequent police cover-up and politician-manipulating that has led to this awful monopolism of managed conformity. First Murdoch, now let's bring down DACRE. BRING DOWN DACRE. BRING DOWN DACRE. BRING DOWN DACRE.

[usainlightning]

I find this hilarious

[Wallace1297]

This from a man who was the chief cheerleader for the Iraq war that killed a million

[Peter London]

Too cowardly to stand up to his employer, so he blames a selection of little annoyances about some people whom he defines by tea drinking or their membership of a website where mums consult and help each other. I remember pre-Murdoch when a Times journalist had to amount to a lot more than this.
