A new twist in the Rupert Murdoch Phone Hacking Scandal just made things an all new ball game

Holy cow! A whole new twist just happened in the News of the World phone hacking scandal. So far Rupert Murdoch's Newscorp is being sued by celebrities, sports stars and politicians but everything just changed. The first lawsuit from a rival paper's writers is accusing Newscorp of hacking into the phones of rival papers to steal stories. Not only they are saying that Newscorp got passwords from their emails that allowed Rupert Murdoch's minions to access the computers and databases of rival papers to see what they could steal.

I do believe that this means a violation of many international/British business laws. I do believe we might start seeing some Titans of publishing start duking it out in the headlines.

Please enjoy the article. It should bring you great joy if you dislike corporate news and FOX broadcasting.

Sorry, I don't follow rappers or dancing with stars.

DAMN THESE PEOPLE.

if there really is a god that he will put these bums out of business.

be a top advisor to the prime minister of england. (andy coulson) If murdoch was brazen enough to do that in england he sure the hell is doing it here too

I love it now...when you google Murdoch and hacking my DU posts come right up on top. :0)

spreading the word. If he is doing here, he could be seen as a security risk. He could be blackmailing lawmakers into doing as he desires.

is Tea Party noise.

:rofl:

F*x Ewes! . . .

Cheap!

in a tough, very competitive, more interesting, and smart media market!

Fox is Boring!

Love my Roku!

his rapid expansion in the U.S.

The Murdoch empire was built on a house of cards.....

:sarcasm:

phew:hide:

Glad you're still here!! : )

everywhere. Can't wait to see the end of him and his minions.

I wonder how he got so much power to begin with?

but I read an expose a while ago where Murdoch was described as always having been a muckraker who relishes nothing more than destroying anyone's reputation, a workaholic with a single-minded dedication to "stick it to his betters", i.e. people who are considered more beautiful and successful than he. What I gleaned from the interview with Rupert was that he fits the classic profile of a sociopath: devoid of empathy, scruples, remorse, a functioning conscience.

Thus Rupert finds himself in the company of his peers - the so-called world elites. It was Bill Clinton who granted him American citizenship for a bundle of millions in payoff IIRC.

And the list of victims is expanding each day.
Hope this takes him and his son down.

K&R

Rupert Roo has attacked Soros to provide cover on the "foreign born" issue.

:headbang: :fistbump:

Therefore it won't get covered.

They see News of the World as its own entity, completely ignoring the fact that it is part of NewsCorp.

Come to think of it, the US isn't giving it any coverage. Typically UK stories hit the US news if it is of the magnitude to warrant 24/7 broadcasting by BBC and massive coverage in all of the UK papers.

arisen, you'd think that the US would cover the story.

this will be resolved sooner rather than later. Just like American justice, British justice can be slow - especially at the higher end. However with the right people the wheels get some extra grease and things move much more quickly.

I would expect the bulk of this case to be sorted out in months, not years.

It's not necessarily stealing. When Gulf War I came about with the US missile strikes on Baghdad the BBC didn't have a correspondent there. CNN had live coverage as they were the only guys there. BBC took their feed and aired it - giving full credit to CNN of course.

It's OK with permission and acknowledgement to take breaking news from a rival broadcaster if it is THAT important. Fox may have had no coverage of Challenger tragedy, whereas CNN had the coverage.

Also would have made sense. Challenger happened in 1986. Fox News didn't come into existence until 1996 - ten years later. CNN was the only main 24/7 news channel around at that time.

And maybe He/She is not a GOPer?

start to restore democracy. The toxic Murdoch is a curse wherever he does business. He's the propaganda minister for the Bush cartel.

When it was just celebrities and politicians who were protesting, the rest of the media might have taken the attitude that "he's one of us, and we need to cover his back", like the thin blue line crap that shields bent cops. Now they've found out that he's stabbing them in the back, expect them to turn on him fast.

He's got people that get in front of cameras regularly upset, and has embarrassed some powerful folks. He can try to make this one go away, but I suspect it's just going to get worse as time goes by.

It's delicious.

one that ever bested the misogynistic Rupert Roo was wife #2, and that was great. Former son-in-law Odey would be even better.

have a national holiday named after them.

If these violations made it right to the top of this evil bullshit, it might have more effect on us then the death of Osama. Not an overstatement.
