So we have :
1 x Whistle Blower found dead
1 x Police Commissioner resigned
1 x Assistant Police Commissioner resigned
Rebecca Brooks arrested
Both Murdochs being quested by the UK parliament today
The British PM under fire
The FBI investigating News Corps in the States
And not a whisper on Seabreeze 
Patty Newton just came out and said she believes Burt and her phone has been bugged.
Who will be next?
No. Because Alan Jones hasn't harped on about it yet because he's too busy whining how he's going to be bankrupted by having to cough up an extra $10 a week.
The rest of SB is busy finding out the "real" truth on youtube.
HA!
Much as I disagree with and oppose hacking, this somehow seems completely appropriate:

Well unless you can tell us "who" he pissed off, you'd just be regurgitating main stream "news".
I've been wondering why no Murdoch thread but I'm happy to start bagging them so he goes.
Murdochs are low life scum that ought to be jailed in Guantanamo, no trial needed we have seen enough.
Actually, one thing which really hit my funny bone in this incident, good old Andy Coulson, the guy who aledgedly encouraged his journalists to hack into other peoples phones, when he was being pestered by some other journalists for his side of the story, he got most indignant and said that they should respect his privacy!!
I nearly fell over laughing.
Apparently the boot didn't fit so good when it was on the other foot.
I wonder why he didn't hold to that philosphy when he was publishing all the hacked conversations.
In the Age newspaper today the scandal is front page, [not owned by Murdoch]
In the Sun Herald paper today the 'oh by the way article' is page 16, { owned by Murdoch]
the melb paper is owned by news limited the sydney one is fairfax

not thought to be suspicious? come on!
who cares newspapers died the day shops were banned from wrapping fish and chips with them
Who cares about the hacking scandal and the Australian media. All you need to do is to look at the Australian and the Herald Sun and the plain, shameless bias they carry on with. This is from an Australian editorial
"We believe he and his Green colleagues are hypocrites; that they are bad for the nation; and that they should be destroyed at the ballot box." In that one statement the Australian has destroyed any reputation as a newspaper it ever had. And Radio????? FFS, the constant, constant anti carbon price tyrades of the shock jocks is unbelievable. The sooner news limited is destroyed the better. Totally undemocratic.

And the power they wield makes or breaks governments. Using their own and their friends business agendas to decide what news to cover and from what angle. The uneducated masses never look past the propaganda.
It is ridiculous that we ever allowed the media to become so controlled by a single entity in the first place.
If you want entertainment watch 7.9 and 10. If you want news abc and sbs.
its been that way since time began, murdoch is probaby controlled himself

Voldemort, Hannibal Lechter, Lord Foul, Sauron, Dr Evil.
Choose your bogeyman. This man trumps them all, beats all the conspiracy theories because he's no fairytale and he's been driving the agenda in UK, US and Oz; dictating policy and bringing down governments.
Absolute power and zero accountabilty. Does it get any scarier than that?
