Good riddance News of the World!

[redken1]

We will see the last edition of the News of the World published this coming Sunday and in my opinion, b****y good riddance. I for one wouldn’t shed a tear if Murdoch’s other tabloid rag, The Sun, bit the dust too. All those years of high moral ground editorials in the NOTW during which time it appears staff of the paper were tapping in to the phones of the relatives who had just lost loved ones. Hypocrisy of the highest order. >

Except it isn't gone really is it? The name is all that's going, the Sun will now become a 7 day rag with the same drivel printed for the hard of thinking.

I wonder what else will come out, paying the police has yet to hit the news big time. I suspect closing the news of the world is damage limitation for the Murdock empire. It will be interesting to see if his staff have been hacking phones in America.

The problem is he controls a vast amount of media in the UK so lots of people will be getting a distorted view from news international.

It will be interesting to see what parliament has to say about this as the political parties are scared of him, I'm 44 and cannot remember an election where the party he backed did not win.

I feel so sorry the people involved, speciality for the family's who have lost love ones who don't need this sort of crap in their lives.

I have a lot to say on this but a its a bike forum I will stop my post here.

The Sun on Sunday is the intended replacement, same rag, different name

Not even for the loss of the legendary Page 3?

Police receiving payments from NOTW for information? I am looking forward to watching the rabbits coming out of the hat to cover this one up. Did Murdoch know what was going on? A lot of rhetoric coming out of Downing Street but, I bet Cameron never mentioned the scandal at Murdoch’s recent garden party he attended. Old Vinnie boy must have been on to summit when he blurted out his concerns about Murdoch’s bid to takeover BSkyB? The pot thickens – luvin it
