PerhapsWill there be repercussions that will affect Americans?
That pic is immense.
Good riddance but man, I did not see that coming.The News of the World is to be discontinued this Sunday.
All proceeds from the Sunday paper are going to charity.
It was the UKs most popular Sunday paper, and Ireland's third most popular.
Unfortunately, they've removed it since.
I do hope so but I haven't heard anything mentioned about them since all of this came up. Am I missing something?They are implicated in this too. I think more will come out about the Sun.

Look at their front pages to see how despicable they were. Christ some of the crud people will read
True, but from my time in the States, I remember them being relatively tame compared to what we have over here. Plus the circulation of tabloids in the UK dwarfs that of the broadsheets.In the United states, as many here know, we have perhaps a hundred "reality" shows and other programming that would never see the airwaves back in the day. We have no shortage of tabloids, either.
Yeah, I noticed that too. I was just wondering if somebody mentioned them by name.Sak, how many tabloids carried the story of the week on the front page? One, in the corner. And it wasn't the Sun.
What makes it surprising is that it's in the Daily Telegraph, a staunchly Tory paper, by their Chief political commentator no less.
Nuts, just nuts.
The link isn't working for me.
Call me a cynic, but one thought I had with that article, excellent as it is, is why now? Obviously, that commentator and many others have known the extent of Murdoch's influence in British politics for some time. Is it just payback? Were they too scared of Murdoch before? Was there a mutual non-aggression pact between newspapers? Are they vexed that the government is so cozy with NI when the likes of DT and DM have been staunchly Tory for so long? Or are they trying to get the government to to curry their favour in the vacuum left by the NOTW?Not that much of a surprise. As that rather excellent article makes plain he's stabbed everyone in the back at some time, so this may be the start of some serious payback. You reap what you sow......
