I never read the Sun or the News of the World or any tabloid for that matter... one less rag will do the world the power of good!

it's not the rags that are the problem, it's Murdoch culture, and this is hitting him very close to home, wonder who will be the sacrificial lamb.

...

It was bad enough when news surfaced that its journalists had been hacking into private voice mails - but worse when it emerged who their victims were, reports CBS News correspondent Elizabeth Palmer.

"We are no longer talking about politicians and celebrities," said Prime Minister David Cameron. "We are talking about murder victims, potentially terrorists' victims having their phones hacked into. It is absolutely disgusting what has taken place."

...


So it's tolerable as long as it's politicians and celebrities that are being violated. Glad we got that cleared up.

No loss. The paper was only fit for putting down in the kitchen when you have a new puppy.

Journalists being dishonest and underhand is nothing new. I hope that this weeds out some more of these journo's. They've been twisting and screwing the truth since year dot.

The good that will come out of it is that some of the people that read that paper, and the numbers were always dwindling, will no longer be ignorant from the kind of man, and control, that is in charge of all these things.

Couldnt care less that there may be some right wing papers, or even Murdoch controlling some big corporations, but the amount of stuff hes in control of in Britain alone, disgusting.

I genuinely feel the British people are the most tolerant in the world bar none, have always been and will always be, but the NOTW and the Sun almost single-handedly, along with the Daily Mail have gradually but consistently bred a wave of intolerance about people especially the working class who no doubt are its biggest readers, about everything.

Has anyone ever read the "quickie" bits of "news" about 30 words long that say: "a pensioner was robbed in his house on tuesday but mangaged to fend off potential burglars with his walking stick at 87 years old,two suspects are believed to be black males."

Now what.the.f*ck. is the point in telling people what race they were, no height, not name of town, no description of clothing, just race.

Batman does not read the NOTW, the people reading are not vigilantes, they do it as submerged racism, and you only have to clock on to the idea they might do that in their articles to start spotting it.

Funny how every family they show thats on benefits is not white-skined either, always afghan or pakistani with 10 children.

It wont make any difference,it will just be called the sunday sun or something.Murdoch's way of not sacking anyone,on the grounds he knows he would get done for unfair dismissal,they were only doing as they were told.
Wouldn't wipe my butt with that rag :hehe:

I'm glad to see the back of it. Awful journalism at its peak. All we need is to axe the Sun and the Daily Mail now. :hehe:

Yes TNOTW may be coming to an end this sunday...but sadly Rupert Murdoch owns many other papers

Such as : The Times, The Sun, The Sunday Times and The Supplimentary times :banghead:

When i say he owns up technically its 'News Corporation' but guess what Murdoch is the companies Chairman and Cheif Executive

Blinking hate the guy :banghead:

NOTW allowed to print for three more days; and employees and editors will be deleting computer files, shredding memos and destroy any incriminating evidence. I didn't hear David Cameron or Scotland Yard call for NOTW's doors be barred two days ago.
