Phanerothyme Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I have to admit that I think that hacking the phone of a missing young girl and deleting voice mail messages giving false hope to the family that she was still alive is morally rather worse than hacking the voice mail of some random schleb. Likening the readers to cunning, amoral wretches is not correct - sad prurient sheep maybe. Of course likening these muck rakers to cunning, amoral wretches is an insult to cunning, amoral wretches. 12 months? I would say that's optimistic - business as usual on 12 weeks or less after some paying off and a new distracting "scandal". Hacking the phones of, for example, serving defence ministers - or hacking phones of surgeons and doctors? It's not that I don't understand the outrage erupting at the moment, but I'm also a little fearful that it will eclipse the bigger picture because murder victim news sells newspapers whereas badly behaved journalists don't tend to feature heavily on the front pages, for some reason.

Bloomdido Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 This is viral. I have contacted many companies advertising in NOTW via their Twitter accounts. I will not buy a single product from any company that advertises with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 0207 782 1001 Direct line to the News of the World news desk if you'd like to make your views known! John X If it's busy when you call, is there the option to leave a voicemail? Seriously I don't think calling them shouting abuse down the phone is going to do any good whatsoever. Those people answering the phones are unlikely to have had anything to do with the hacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John X Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Seriously I don't think calling them shouting abuse down the phone is going to do any good whatsoever. Then don't do it! And the people who answer the news desk phones are journalists. And whether they had anything to do with the hacking is irrelevant. If they are still 'manning' the news desk at that paper tonight, then they are very much guilty by association. John X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
