# I know what you mean
but if we all lose interest, he'll basically get away with it. While mostly everyone is watching, he doesn't.
Suppose he will in the end anyway though. Plenty enough viable scapegoats to go round I suppose.

# As cunty as it sounds, most news in general doesnt intrest me, unless it directly affects me - like 'GIANT ASTEROID HEADING FOR LONDON'
its like i never understand why stuff like the Maddy thing is was in the news for so long - loads of people go missing and / or die every day. Its not relevant, its not important, its just people being nosey, and their noseyness just fuels the story and how much they milk it.

# indeed
ive only flipped through the NOTW once or twice, and it was more like a celeb gossip mag, with 'exclusive' stories like 'my husband went out with another woman' or 'i was fat, but now im thin'. What about wars? Natural disasters? Important news that other papers were covering got pushed to the side in favour of trashy 'people' stories and gossip.
(, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 12:10, archived)
# Thing is
I feel the same as you, but about different subjects. I don't care much about natural disasters, for instance. Sure, huge numbers of people die, but natural disasters happen all the time, geologically speaking. They aren't really news, they're expected to happen. Politics, on the other hand, contains genuinely new events (sometimes) as culture evolves.

This is all very subjective and comes down to what you think counts as "a thing".

# So, politics isn't as predictable?
I'd say even more so. Party gets into government, breaks promises, one or two scandals during their term. Rinse and repeat.

# lose interest?
the 'general' public are being the biggest hypocrites in this entire saga judging by the general internet tone.
It's not up to Murdoch to 'get away' with anything. He hasn't been charged, or personally accused of anything.
If people watch or not, until he's personally accused of something, all he has to do is go in and answer a few questions.
At Start: General Public = 'outrage' at this NotW/News International 'Scandal' and cries of 'we never wanted all the NotWs scandal-led stories peddled on us through the years' and shock at scandal on the back of a dead person
And Now: General Public = Hoping for 'Scandal' in these hearings and blaming Murdoch et al, and trying to infer a conspiratorial link to the sad death of a journo. - i.e. wanting scandal on the back of a dead person.
Twitter did not disappoint this morning in showing how idiotic people can be.

# I suppose you're right.
I've long espoused the view that no one that seeks a position of power over others is trustworthy, and that such covers the police and all politicians, as people only ever join these establishments with a view to feathering their own nests at the expense of others.

And here we are with the police in bed with the journalists in bed with the politicians in bed with the police.

# I don't know if he's personally been involved
but the trouble is, the person who IS implicated, Rebekah, isn't head of the paper, she's (was) CEO of Murdoch's whole company. surely that implicates ALL of his newspapers, and tv, and anything that might have used phone hacking to it's advantage?

# no, she wasn't CEO of Murdoch's entire company
just News International, the UK only division of News Corp.
News Corp. is a whole lot bigger than that, and she had naff all to do with the rest.

/and let's not be naive here. 'If' all of his UK papers were doing it, it's a fair bet (although an assumption on my part, I'll grant you) others were doing it as well.

# Oh archie, for once, bog off. You can't rant at 'the general public' as if it's only ever of one mind and somehow you're not just another piddly little part of it.
I don't buy his shit nosey rags but I think he makes a lot of money from criminal behaviour and I'd like to see some people who've been getting away with it for years go down for their crimes. And if senior figures in the MET are in with them then them too.

# aye, if they're in it together, let the buggers sink, and get put away for it, no arguments from me there. I'm part of the 'general public' that wishes that would happen
but there's a LOT of public comment, trending comment, being aimed against Murdoch et al with only guesswork, supposition, and an attitude of 'baiting' the big guns. It's purporting scandalous conspiracy theories
to appeal to the general mood against News Corp. and a lot of it has no foundation. It's not a great (or effective) way of going after the C*nt and his companies

Nothing suspicious here, no, no. Sleep quietly, good citizens, your government is in control.

# I'm not suggesting there's nowt 'suspicious' in it, the whole think reeks worse than Grimsby
but pushing for the scandalous option straight off with little to no backing doesn't help matters in determining truth,
and essentially comes back to some people finding something dodgy in it because they want to find something dodgy in it.

# My brother and his wife once went on 6 week tour of the Himalayas.....
On looking at his photots when they got back, I noticed that his wife and himself were both dressed like the bloke on the right of your picture, exept for the oxygen mask (they weren't that high)but basicly head to toe down and fleece and £300 walking boots.... but in a lot of the photos was a man wearing nothing more than a vest, shorts and what were basicly nothing more that open toe flip flops, on asking "Who's the bloke in the vest and flip flops?" he repied "Oh, that was our sherpa, they're used to the cold...."
