FTFA: The company said in a statement: "News Corporation remains committed to ensuring that unacceptable news-gathering practices by individuals in the past will not be repeated and last summer authorised the MSC to co-operate with the relevant authorities."

Does this mean they'll come up with new unacceptable news-gathering practices?

Now if we could just get the American authorities to arrest the folks at Fox News.

Imagine for a second the shiatstorm that would go down on Fox News if MSNBC was found to be bribing and corrupting FBI agents.

The Tea Party's reaction to that would be awesome.

The reaction of Posse Comitatus, the Michigan Militia, and whatever the remnants of the Ku Klux Klan are calling themselves these days would be kinda scary.

The same shiatstorm that goes down at Fox News when MSNBC is found to be putting Rachel Maddow on the air again despite their vehement objections?

Nope, it means those five people won't be repeating their unacceptable practices. They've been replaced by now...

I'm shocked. SHOCKED! That Faux doesn't apply their "fair and balanced" approach to this sort of news.

I guess they are too preoccupied with the imaginary threat of Soros to bother with reality.

But have the people responsible for sacking them been sacked?

I don't usually refer to those who have either never been members of an organization, or who have publicly repudiated and abandoned everything that organization stood for, as part of the "remnants" of that organization. But maybe the sky is plaid on your planet.

If snark could be harnessed, that clip could power a large city for 2 years.

Also seeing Nigel Hawthorne almost lose it is priceless.

Doesn't this pretty much prove that he shut down News Of The World and fired hundreds for business reasons, and not because of its moral failings?

Time will show what Murdoch is and how his cancerous "news" practices are used as a tool for his sociopathic agenda.

Let's take the quick and easy road, hang him.

And now, slowly I turn, step by step, Commie Biatch, you are next.

Submitter, for whatever reason, that headline made me chortle more than I normally do at this time of the morning.
