Title: News of the World.
Post by: The Mighty Elvi on 07 July 2011, 17:28
Gone.

Not that I ever read it, but I might buy the last ever copy on Sunday. It might be worth a bit in 50 years.

Or I might wipe my arse with it.

What goes around, comes around, serves them right, and to think that they were calling for MPs to get he chop over misspent funding

My heart bleeds

I hate the fact that they deem this "hacking"..Most peoples concept of hacking is phone bugging and listening in on convos.. Which it is far from.. This is simply going onto the remote answerphone number, putting in the default pin as most people cba to change it and boom your in..

On a side note again, to listen in on a phone conversation on a mobile network is epically hard, the equipment needed to crack the algorithms are pretty awesome. Its not like the old tapping of the line with analog signals...

nevertheless it is still a massive invasion of privacy... they were deleting messages off Milly Dowler's phone when she went missing when her inbox was full.. so that they could listen to further recordings from subsequent phone calls. Milly's family and the police thought that it was Milly accessing her phone.

The Police would have known who, and where her phone was accessed from! this is going to drop the Police in the sh!t!

Thats the point, as part of the ongoing legit investigation, into Milly Dowler, the Police would have discovered that elsewhere in the police force, someone was accessing the voicemail, and/or a third party was involved, corrupt officers or not! the investigating team could have blown the whistle years ago

News of the world, peddles the same nasty propaganda that The Sun does.
Horrible newspapers that people read and believe, unfortunately.

Glad it's gone, hopefully there will be some way the government tell them to cease printing under ALL thier brands until the full investigation is over and it is shown no other papers had anything to do with the voice mail hacking :evil:

Why don't they just ride on The Sunday Times and make it into their new Sunday sales paper? It's probably their least sh!ttiest paper.

getting rid of the NOTW means fcuk all... its just a simple way of brushing all the crap under the carpet.

its been known for years that the police would deliberately hold off raids and arrests etc until Saturday evenings just so the NOTW could have the first "exclusive" scoops.

kill em.... kill em all i say!  :smiley:

Looks like it was by a small company with a rather crap site themselves. Probably a pre-emptive purchase, possibly to extort money from whom ever wants the name.

http://mediaspring.com/clients.htm ,if this is the same company that purchased it, in which case registering a domain name as an UK Individual when in fact is by a company could be cause to have the name detagged. I've emailed someone at nominet about this, lets see what happens, eh? :smiley:

only ever read NotW when I found a copy on the train. Never really liked their style so I won't be shedding a tear when it goes. Let's hope the Sun goes the same way. Both are crap in terms of journalism.

Post by: Tazzy on 08 July 2011, 19:52
one thing that has stood out at me about all this, and many some of you guys can shed a light onto it

its being claimed that theres alot of innocent journalists who are going to lose their jobs and the only person that should is that sarah whoever, who has been given a new job apparently, but surely someone within the company must of known what was going on/knew how to do it/was involved in taking part in the actions? so not every journalist there is surely innocent?

so in turn, some good journalists have lost their jobs because of their collegues actions, what theyve done is truely wrong and they know it, its a disgrace

^^ yep, during the past enquiry, Andy Coulsen stopped Rebeca Brooks from talking, when she was asked if she knew that the police were being paid for information.  She said yes, then Andy quickly interupted her and advised a better phraising of the answer.

I've no pitty for any Murdoch employee, Editor, cleaner, anyone.  It's about time his empire was crushed.

My prediction, NotW has tapped into some devastating info, about a very high profile story from about 4 years ago, evidence cant be used, as it was obtained illegally, and this is one of the reasons why it was not seemed to be fully investigated by the Police in this country!

A good idea although seems a bit far fetched to me. I blame "Compo Culture". Started off with a few celebs then "hacker guy" went to town on thousands of peoples sh1t. Result being Compo! Compo! Compo!

Easier to go bankrupt. Still owe money to these jissers, but not as much.

Thoughts?  :smiley:
