Phone-hacking scandal closes News of the World To see more go to www.youtube.com Follow us on Facebook (goo.gl or Twitter (www.twitter.com It’s game over for the News of the World. As the phone-hacking scandal comes to an explosive head, this punchy ABC Australia report offers a compelling insight into the saga of claim, counterclaim, costly settlement and political intrigue. “The media, with their red-topped assassins, are the biggest beasts in the modern jungle”. In a quiet pub in Dover, tabloid-hack-turned-publican Paul McMullan holds a phone in each hand and reveals just how stupidly simple it was to access the private phone messages of his prey. According to him, it’s a practise that’s been endemic to journalism in Britain since the late 90s. Yet when a ‘News of the World’ journalist was found to have paid a private investigator to leak information on the Royal family, Rupert Murdoch’s executives claimed it was nothing more than one rogue journalist: “one bad apple!”. In the inquiry that followed, Scotland Yard found the private investigator Glenn Mulcaire had targeted hundreds of prominent people, including a cabinet minister. Insiders claim Murdoch’s political power has stalled the investigation thus far. Yet as the list grows and public outcry intensifies, can the News Corporation remain confident of weathering the storm? Produced By ABC Australia Distributed By Journeyman Pictures November 2010

This is something that the company that Murdoch owns is known for. Hacking and piracy. There have been at least 2 suits one from canal plus and echostar. Stories that have all but been completely scrubbed from the Internet. they got away with slaps on the the hands for doing things other folks would go to jail forever.
Funny that the man that ran a tabloid has the most successful news station in America seen? in most countries in the world. The dumbing down of the world and no ones complant.
Nice spin. Sorry, don’t believe these power brokers are victims of the media – they are the hidden? hand themselves.
@Yogiphildas yeah, they pretend they dont believe whats written in the papers but then they all end up talking the exact same rubbish,? must be very coincidental then …
Jesus Christ is the way to God. All? who believe Jesus died for their sins and rose again from the dead will have eternal life. Call upon the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved when you believe on Him.
how times have changed in the Nixon era they would have given the phone hacker a journalism award for a scoop……..laughable some of it how the? tabloid becomes the headline in the legit paper.
LOL this is bullshit…the? government runs the media
well? pull all commercials
turns out people are too smart to be influenced in a democracy.
LOL
or people can be influenced, by what they read and hear

Hello? YouTubers
the U.S. media needs to be investigated. free press is fine so long as they? don’t engage in this kind of behavior
Hard to build a public outrage against Murdoch when the type who tend to be easily outraged are Murdoch’s key demographic. You can have all these various inquires, but their findings are inconsequential compared to how their findings are reported? to the herd. Yes, others still read real news, but try assembling a raging mob from them! Tabloid shit will ALWAYS be more profitable, so squeaky wheels will always get greased. Until the engine dies.
@Thepixieful There’s a difference between exposing crimes commited by the ruling? party of a global superpower after following a solid lead (Watergate), and arbitrarily invading people’s private lives JUST IN CASE you might find a real scoop, and then printing their mundane sex and drug details in HUGE FONTS if you don’t.
More? clips like these!

People? who buy newspapers like The Sun, The Mirror and The Daily Mail should be taken round the back and shot.
@Terramax Then you’d have to shoot everyone. EVERYONE loves triviality? and gossip. EVERYONE.
Fact: The media is controlled by big money and political parties, period! No longer do they just report the news or tell a story, they tow the line of their masters (power & big money). Look at Fox News USA, or right wing Talk Radio USA. Job one of the media these days is also to Dumb Down the people. And the internet, it swims with false info,? like a million rats in sewer water! And the truth, whats that?
I was told by a guy in Dorking that? the 63 year old man arrested was his neighbour a senior government Minister, but he wouldn’t give his name. Anyone else from Surrey heard this ?
If anybody is to be sacked, it must be Rupert Murdoch. Murdoch thought he could do anything because he was able to bring down British government with single issue of sun newspaper. Murdoch forced his newspapers to get the news no matter if the law has to be broken. it is pay back time for Murdoch, he will lose his money.click? justice party UK.
Ask yourself? why the Govt is acting so Quickly to CLOSE NOTW???/ Because they are afraid of what revelations will come to light on their own Crooked dealings. What a pity Politicians are not as quick to go once they have screwed up too
