    Dead, accused of rape, looking at porn before being killed by soldiers, etc.

    If you ask me,
    The "New World Order" certainly looks a lot like the old world order. Corruption, lies, etc. The only thing that's changed is we now have 21st century surveillance and policing making sure that any one that can speak out, doesn't.

    "Nothing suspicious"...bullshit. Pure bullshit.

    The fact of who he is and what he belonged to plus the existing scandal that's going on = the definition of suspicious. The head cop might have resigned but I smell a fishy after taste.

    Live coverage of MP's questions, if anyone is interested. (not sure if this is available in other countries, but if not I think it is being broadcast through other media as well)

    Oooohhhhh what did I miss :D !!!!!! Haha

    As he TRIES to slam pie in his face sadly... I just watched the clip, or was it Rupert Murdoch he got?

    Hope someone got a photo it'll make great head line news for The Sun tomorrow.

    What, he only employs people with grey hair? But Rebekah brooks is a ginger?

    Guess that means they did it then. We'll probably never know.

    My guess is they "off-ed" Sean Hoare as a message to others who might squeal.

    News Corp evidently has dozens of people who are being paid off to be silent.

    Now add Murder to their disincentive to talk.

    I like the way Murdoch was trying to pass the buck by saying he had no idea and that he can't control what all his 53,000 staff do. Well tough luck old boyo, I'm afraid that goes with the territory. If you can't run a business without it going out of control then maybe you should be be running a business that size..

    One of the big criticisms of News Corp by financial analysts is that one man has too much power. They give the governance of News Corp an "F", the worst rating because one man controls too much. And here the shortcomings of that are perfectly clear.

    Rupert Murdoch says he has not even considered resigning over this, it says on the BBC latest newsfeed.

    OK then how about retiring?

    I don't want to come as across as ageist here, but the man's fucking 80 years old. Maybe he would like to spend the last few years of his life living it up? Oh sorry i forgot I forgot he was a multi-billionaire oligarch. Work to the elite chosen ones usually involves having lunch, or playing a few rounds golf.

    If you cant trust the police that protects you, the media who informs you or the aggressive hand with which justice is fairly served...what do you have left to count on?

    Murdoch almost got a shaving cream tray to the face, made me giggle. Would have been the first great stunt of the decade if it was successful.

    I hope this crosses the pond, I hope that News Corps stocks get so low that not even the poorest investor in the world would touch it with his consideration, I hope that he looses a billion dollars and then a billion more.

    Burn baby Burn.

    This has been a really interesting case to follow, and now I hear there are going to be investigations on rival tabloid newspapers in the UK - the Mirror and a few others (sorry if that has already been posted), there is no doubt in my mind that the methods employed by NOTW are used by journalists everywhere - and I doubt it's limited to the tabloids. This is a very scary case of business, media and government all being far too friendly with each other. Murdoch is a very, very powerful man, this will in no way destroy him, many people are already saying this was just a good way to get rid of NOTW and rebrand it.

    The Sunday Mirror's approach to tabloid journalism is now being called into question.
