The root of the problem.. "At News International we pride ourselves on setting the news agenda for the right reasons. Today we are leading the news for the wrong ones." News should never be about an agenda. It should be reporting, as accurately as humanly possible, the NEWS, what happened. The Who/what/when/where/how and then only if possible go to the why. Janice |

The root of the problem.. Agreed. But much of the "news" with dubious revelations about famous people and gossip about them is what sells them. Without Rebekah Crooks and the criminals she employed the "news" papers would have been boring, and just what else on Sunday is there to look forward to now that the News of the World is gone? flaming balloons |

The root of the problem.. It is always about an agenda. The agenda is always the same too. Make piles of money any way possible, legal or illegal (just don't get caught). It is called fiduciary duty. |

Murdoch runs public apology across the whole national press. Today's report begs two immediate questions Any cold arrogant criminal will not admit wrong until they are caught red handed and "have" to say sorry to try and avioid the full punishment of the law. I am not saying that Murdock or his team are cold or criminals, but they certainly know how go about damage limitation. Question is, will we all fall for the sobbing from them and forget how they ignored the sobbing of their victims? flaming balloons |

If this was the USA they would seize the printing presses as they were used in the commission of a crime. |

NI CEO Arrested Just finished watching the latest news on TV. This was overdue, but the timing sucks. Possible Police corruption? |

It's all happening very fast .... Hmmmn, be nice if this becomes "the beginning of the end of Political Correctness". It would also be nice if the corrupt politicians fell on their swords! |

We are now seeing the most powerful people in society who thought they were "untouchable" being touched. Even the UK Prime Minister is now looking like a domino, although not (yet) included in this list: Phone-hacking: The main players flaming balloons |

It's amazing how pervasive the intertwining of Newscorp people were in the Police and advisory level with british politicians. In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

It's amazing how pervasive the intertwining of Newscorp people were in the Police and advisory level with british politicians. They hacked the police, got the goods on them and blackmailed them into cooperation. No surprise. |

The cause of May and Johnson's anger is the failure of the Met to tell Johnson, May or even the prime minister that Wallis had been given a contract to act as a part-time PR adviser to the Met from October 2009 to September 2010. He worked from home and gave strategic communications advice. Oh dear, don't like the way this all reads!! Just how far is this all going to go? Has all the similarities to that of the unraveling a spy web, us Brits used to be good at doing that....lets see how well we get on with untangling this mess! Press censorship, thank God no!...Would have to put up with Berlusconi coming over here....and you know what I mean?? |

The way the Sean Hoare death was blown off as cause of death unknown but "not suspicious" smacks of "move along, nothing to see here". Concerning, especially considering the political nature of those involved. Janice |

The way the Sean Hoare death was blown off Raises my eyebrows too... Too coincidental. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

The way the Sean Hoare death was blown off It seems that some people are indeed seeing nothing but instead concentrating on the Prime Minister losing his 2 most senior police officers and seeing his friend Rebekah Crooks arrested. The firestorm is reaching the steps of Number 10. flaming balloons |

did anyone miss that Rupert was reported as being lost and uncertain of answers. this makes me wonder if he's got dementia. In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

did anyone miss that Rupert was reported as being lost and uncertain of answers. this makes me wonder if he's got dementia. Just a few days a he was as sharp as he ever was, eg, saying that his prime concern was Rebekha Brooks. He didn't suddenly get dementia today. I think he was terrified of saying the wrong thing and desperatley trying to think of what to say to get him out of dire straights in those long pauses. flaming balloons |
