Another F.U. for Rupert Murdoch: Jude Law sues Murdoch's Newscorp for phone hacking. Sweeeet

Edited on Sat May-07-11 12:30 AM by Snoutport

And another high profile celebrity has started legal proceedings...and none of the current cases accepted Murdoch's hush money. I can't wait for the court cases to start and the phone hacking story to go 100% public.

Murdoch must be pissing himself and it is only a matter of time until FOX gets dragged into all this!

..... same thing over here? bush/Rove/Cheney/Gonzo's NSA & ATT phone hacking adventures were
never about stopping terrorism and i have no doubt that they gave Fox news plenty of "help."

I say waterboard the bastards.

BTW the first phone taps in the US were installed in Feb./March of 2001 long before 9/11.

3. George Galloway is one of the litigants. His phones were tapped in April 2003.

I wondered what was going on with Galloway in 2003 & found this interesting tidbit from a magazine interview:

Q: George, you're Man Of The Year in the Designer Magazine Best Of 2003 issue, with Tony Benn and Michael Moore close behind. You are to use in quotation marks "the voice of the opposition". Personally speaking you've faced such extremities of opinion your whole career, but none more so than this year.

A: It's been a very turbulent year. A year that's gone between leading a march of 2 million people and being smeared in a dirty tricks operation by various newspapers, some of which are making me a very rich man in the libel courts. It's been, you could say, a rollercoaster of a year.

I hope Murdoch does make him a very rich man, along with all the other litigants -- enough so that it'll put a big crimp in Murdoch's empire.
