    These people are just so terrible

    So Rebekah Brooks came to the aide of Sara Payne and supported her through this tough time.

    Jesus. We think our press is bad. It's nothing compared to the rags across the pond in the UK.

    Just you wait, because if there is something to the 9/11 phone hacks it is going to be absolutely disgusting.

    Murdoch empire also exists in the USA by the way... In case you did not know! Fair & Balanced may be the slogan, but it's not the modus operandi.

    Don't you understand? Anything that goes wrong in the media comes back to blacken FOX's reputation.

    Don't you get it? The right is evil. Nothing else matters.

    I've worked with NOTW several times over the years. the guy i was dealing with was so shady...he was nice enough but you knew he was pretty low.

    scary thing is that they actually seemed pretty good compared to some of the american media companies out there...some of those people just have a zombie staff of scumbags digging up dirt by any way they can.

    they have paid people on the inside in the police departments, hospitals, etc that leak info all the time.

    Wee! Owners & executives are no longer responsible for the misdeeds of their companies. God Bless the New World Corporatocracy.

    The scandal was going on for ten years, not sure how Murdoch Sr wouldn't have known. I guess you took his "I am a blithering fool of an old man who has no control over his media empire" shtick hook, line & sinker. I guess if you're a billionaire paid handsomely for your services one of the benefits is that you can wiggle your way out of anything by acting incompetent. You have two options, either he knew or he was incompetent, I am thinking the former. Murdoch isn't above shoveling shit so long as it sells papers, pushes his agenda & makes him money, now you're trying to claim he doesn't stink?

    i don't think it was that. at that level, he's not checking what mid-level, poorly paid mudslingers do to get their stories.

    Except Murdoch is incompetent if he was unaware of a scandal that had been brewing over the last ten years which involved paying people off millions of dollars, as well as resignations & jail time for both low & high level employees well before the current implosion of NOTW. This crap wasn't just going on this year, it was going on for years.

    A) Not sure what this has to do with the video. B) Yes the shooter appears to have been Christian or at least very pro-Christian with severe Islamophobia. C) He also aligned himself with conservative politics by "saving us" from all those liberal kids he killed on the island.

    So Fox is fair & balanced, run by an owner who isn't incompetent or complicit with regards to an illegal phone hacking scandal?

    I must just be hating on Fox just because I like hating on Fox. Any negative aspect about Fox or Murdoch is because the MSM & liberals have twisted the truth, woe is me, the poor conservative!

    Claiming one is Christian and committing a vile act in the name of Christianity are two things. Was this person screaming "God er stor!" when he was mowing down those kids like Nidal Hasan was?

    Implicating FOX in a scandal having to do with a British tabloid simply because they share ownership is like implicating NBC in a GE price fixing scandal. But you keep on keepin' on, it seems to be working for you.
