I don't think you're going to get many cancelling their accounts.

 

Get on the case folks, News International are going to go into MELTDOWN!! Yippee!!

 

I doubt it. Nice thought but I doubt it.

 

Tomorrow's Sun front page is a story about IVF and a picture of Victoria Beckham.

 

There's a suprise.

 

What surprises me is that it seems a lot are surprised and outraged by the actions of NoTW. Ironically it's no more surprising than a man murdering children as a news story.

Hacking the phones of, for example, serving defence ministers - or hacking phones of surgeons and doctors?

 

Yes I do think this is morally worse - though I am making the distinction between nauseatingly vile and ****ty behaviour and obscenely vile and ****ty behaviour...

Or indeed stealing photos of murdered children when 'interviewing' the parents.

 

What is different about this case is that it potentially hampered the investigation into Millie Dowler's death.

 

So you have a situation where a paper that has made its name shouting "Name the Paedos!", may have actively helped a child murderer evade justice.

Agreed but I'm not surprised at their cynicism, but surprised at the public outrage while propping up Media corp with their monthly subscriptions.
