Missing Milly Dowler's voicemail "hacked by News of the World"

Legal experts speculate that the bribery allegations could lead to the broadcasting watchdog, Ofcom, reviewing Murdoch's stake in Sky television. Any evidence suggesting News International titles were engaged in the corruption of officials could also trigger an investigation by the US authorities into breaches of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) which prohibits corrupt payments to foreign government officials.
It is this – the threat of the cancer spreading outside the UK and eating away at an empire that includes Fox News and 20th Century Fox film studios, and last year had revenues of $34bn (£21.5bn) – that really worries Murdoch's lieutenants.

this story just keeps on giving doesn't it?
 
Legal experts speculate...
Classic shit stirring by The Guardian. They're absolutely loving this, and milking it for all it's worth.


I'd say it's more that the crooks have all fallen out, it's every scumbag for themselves, and they're all grassing each other - equally good fun

I think so. The likelihood of a containing strategy in this mess is ...optimistic. NI have next to no control over events.

It's basically over for whoever did what at NI. It's just going to take years for the police/CPS/Courts/HMPS to get to everyone, but that most def includes Brookes and Coulson.
 
Helpful background:


The scale of any penalties that flow from the FCPA investigation would be based on a calculation of how much benefit the company derived from any corruption. Against that, mitigating factors would be taken into account such as the extent of co-operation given to the investigating authorities by the company.

That helps explain why News Corp has bent over backwards in recent months to assist the police by handing over evidence of possible wrongdoing, to the dismay of some of its own journalists.

No I agree with him, where would the country be if newspapers couldn't bribe a copper without having their collars thumbed?

For too long the Sun has promoted this wishy washy liberal approach to locking people away.

That's always the way it is with bullies.
 
He's the former political editor of The Sun - no oxymoron there - and now an 'associate editor' e.g kicked upstairs and effectively now Murdoch's mouthpiece. He's worked at The Sun for 35 years. Marvellous.

did you even read the article? he's trying to distance himself and his staff from his masters
 
The "witch hunt" is against News International, the dispropotiante police raids are against News International employees, there is a "vendetta" against News International, etc, etc: Listen to him

Mein gott, this is an example of how to read something wrong. It's in the fucking SUN and he still didn't dumb it down enough for you.

Any kiddy teachers want to walk this racist cunt through what it means?
 
Meanwhile, at Comrades.com UK offices it's been another tough day:

At any other time the treatment of the journalists would have caused uproar at Parliament and among civil liberty and human rights campaigners, he said.

And at this time too, trevor. There certainly would be an uproar if there was unjust treatment of....journalists.

Sun going down in 5....4....3....

Isn't it wonderful.
 
Sun staff line up human rights challenge

Senior journalists atthe Sunare preparing to launch a legal challenge to theNews Corporationunit that disclosed confidential sources to the police, leading to the arrest of nine of the paper's current and former staff this month.

Journalists at theNews Internationalred-top have approached the National Union of Journalists with a view to hiring the leading human rights lawyer, Geoffrey Robertson QC, to question the legality of parent company News Corp's management and standards committee.
 
Amazing how time and time again those who have spent years challanging the exisistence of human rights laws suddenly find them useful when they are in the shit.
