Good. Awful rag, typifying all that's wrong with the British press.

That was step 1. Now, how about the rest?

Granted it's not their best album but that's a bit harsh, no?

jake_lex: I am certain that News Of The World was an aberration, and its behavior did not reflect any larger policies at News Corps, and that Rupert Murdoch would not tolerate such unethical behavior and punish those responsible, and certainly would not promote the editor of a paper that practiced such unsavory acts to be the CEO of his operations in the UK.

It might have worked if you'd spelled it 'behaviour' and 'unsavoury'.
or not.

Sounds like the dope dealer's defence. If there's a demand, satisfy it, and damn the torpedoes. There's such a thing as ethics, old chap.

it is can easily be considered the most read "newspaper" in Britain today, with a sickening circulation of nearly 3 million copies per week.

Sure, this paper sucks, but let's not forget who the enablers are.

The Sun will take its place, another scat rag.

FTFA: After feeding countless generations of the lowest common denominator, those sad, mindless fools will have to get their sadomasochistic fixings from some other bottom feeding publication, most likely The Sun.

Zing!

tbot: The Sun will take its place, another scat rag.

yeah, but at least it has tits.

As everyone knows, News of the World's readership centered on the city of brotherly love.

So I think it's safe to say all those journalists and their cretinous bosses aren't out of a job.

THANKS FOR NOTHING RUPERT.

So what's your game plan, Murdoch? How will you be remembered when your obituary's written in 30 years? What have you given us? Have you made the world a better place?

WHAT'S THE DEPRECIATION SCHEDULE FOR A MURDOCH PAPER?

Your children will open their bejweled fingers, and your empire will collapse. Everything you own is tainted, soaked, stained and saturated: whorehouse sheets. Sure. Someone will buy it, but not for what it's worth. When the kids are reprinting business cards and shifting org chart slots like mahjong tiles, the lawyers will lean in and say, "We have to scrub Murdoch off all of this, and disinfecting is going to be expensive. We want an offset on the purchase price."

WHO'S NEXT ON THE BLOC?

The lizardish blink and chain link drawl,
"You better behave.
Because at my age,
there's no reason to save."

DON'T WORRY, NEWSIES, THERE ARE PLENTY OF JOURNALISM JOBS TO ...

Oh. No they're not. Hope you like writing term papers on Henry V for the lumpen.

LIE IN THE TALL GRASS

So, what then? Do you sulk in your little San Simeons? Do you hyphenate a prize to make the Oxbridge rictuses curdle? The Booker-Murdoch prize. Oh. That sounds nice. Something will come to you. You have years.

AS A MAN ONCE SAID,

Fark Murdoch. Blog.


/recycled from my red light ... this is a good green light modlings

Power, Pop!
Read about the things that happen throughout the world
Don't be believe in everything you see or hear
The neighbours talk day in day out about the goings on
They tell us what they want - they don't give an inch

Look at the pictures taken by the cameras they cannot lie
The truth is in what you see - not what you read
Little men tapping things out - points of view
Remember their views are not the gospel truth

Don't believe it all
Find out for yourself
Check before you spread
News of the world

Never doubt
Never ask
Never moan
Never search
Never find
Never know

Each morning our key to the world comes through the door
More than often its just a comic, not much more
Don't take it too serious - not many do
Read between the lines and you'll find the truth

Read all about it, read all about it - news of the world

Wonderfully nasty. Just the kind of obituary that dismal rag and its employees / management deserve.

If I were Rupert Murdoch, I'd say the phone hacking was just done for the lulz; won't help in court but should improve his reputation on FARK no end.

bronyaur1: Hobodeluxe: that's just a peek behind the curtain. there's a lot more skeletons in the closet at Newscorp.

My guess is that the reason why Murdoch did this so abruptly is exactly because you are right. Too much light on his sleazy operations is a very dangerous thing for the his empire.

Too little, too late, Murdoch. You went too far, and now the torches & pitchforks are out & heading for you. Throwing this rag under the bus won't save you.

My budgie will miss it.

Those truly responsible do, however, pay a lot of taxes.

Sack the workers and retain/promote the executives: That's the Murdoch way.

He turned 80 in march, i don't think he's going to last another 30...

No they don't.

Nadie_AZ: Can he destroy all the records kept at the company once he shutters it?

Talk is this is why He's done it.
The company is allowed to destroy anything that would increase their liabilities

So, after 168 slimy years, News of the World has died, suddenly and unexpectedly. It has not so much suffered from a fall from grace as it suffered from slipping off the toilet seat onto the grimy floor of a public restroom.
