Posted earlier but for those who missed it - this was inevitable. You love it.

tomorrow's Guardian:

 

[killer b]

QT lineup is a bit dull

actor Hugh Grant, Employment Minister Chris Grayling, Shadow Foreign Secretary Douglas Alexander, Liberal Democrat peer Shirley Williams and radio presenter Jon Gaunt.

had enough of hugh grant a couple of days ago, and the rest aren't going to be on fire. is gaunt any good?

 

[Mrs Magpie]

No

 

[gawkrodger]

How many are being made redundant? I thought it was 200 but a mate is claiming 3K. Where the fuck would that figure come from?

 

[stethoscope]

Gaunt's a cunt, he's bound to stick up for News International.

Newsnight it is then.

 

[killer b]

newsnight it is then! hopefully it'll be better than it was the other day...

 

[Kaka Tim]

Unfortuneately there a documentory on at the same time about paint drying that seems more interesting.

 

[ernestolynch]

Should I watch Newsnight or Question Time?

Man v Food

As much as my heart wants to cheer at the demise of the News Of The Screws, my head tells me that Le Digger is a wily old sod who's made of pure Teflon. This Sun on Sunday business sounds well suspect - sacked NOTW hacks "suddenly" re-employed, "celebrities" rally round to the new paper, ad revenues nice and healthy after a while, and "interesting" hack practices back on again.

For once, I'd love for my natural cynicism over Mag Dog Murdoch to be kicked out of the stadium.

You may be onto something -

From the guardian blog -


The closure of the News of the World could be a cunning ploy to legally shred any incriminating evidence linked to the phone hacking scandal, according to a prominent media lawyer.

Mark Stephens, head of media with Finers Stephens Innocent lawyer, said under British law the paper "may not be obliged to retain documents that could be relevant to civil and criminal claims against the newspaper—even in cases that are already underway."

If News of the World is to be liquidated, Stephens told Reuters, it "is a stroke of genius—perhaps evil genius."

Isn't it? Says a lot when Hugh Grant is the political pertinent powerhouse!

Jon Gaunt is a cunt who makes Nick Ferrari look intelligent and articulate.

 

[Ranbay]

Editorial line & conduct of #notw not fault of sportswriters, etc facing the sack. Mind you, the astrologer should've seen it coming.

 

[Tankus]

Im amazed that its already been released that the Sun is going to 7 days .....so cynical

hope it gets boycotted

 

[agricola]

Ironically enough I shall be watching the Kurosawa film Scandal, which I bought yesterday. I appreciate this may not help anyone torn between QT and Newsnight.

 

[agricola]

Ironically, Cameron had a reception for the 59 nominees for 2011 Police Bravery Award (sponsored by News International) at Number 10 tonight.

Allegedly Brooks was meant to be at the main do yesterday, but was disinvited after threats of a protest.

 

[Kaka Tim]

Newsnight asks -

"Is Murdochs empire holed below the waterline and sinking fast?"

Who ever thought they would hear those words - even five days ago?

Brilliant little history of Murdoch's business in the UK here with some great footage of the wapping dispute and some early interviews with him

Still 200 on newsnight. There's a load of BS flying around, 3k sounds like balls.

James Murdoch requests a late meeting with Rebekah Brooks...

 

[agricola]

200 is their actual staff - though there will be freelance journalists and whatnot that will be affected as well, but nowhere near 3000 I would have thought (unless they are talking about the bribe community).

 

[goldenecitrone]

This is all rushing tsunami-like towards Disco Dave. Will he apologise for hiring Coulson? Will he shun Murdoch before he gets dragged down with the Dirty Digger?
