Oh, Mr Murdoch, what have you done?

Rupert Murdoch is due to arrive in the UK on Sunday to handle the crisis at the News of the World.

Tomorrow, Sunday 10th July 2011, is the day that the gutter press that is the News of the World comes to an end.

Or is it the gutter press? Undoubtedly, when the phone hacking happened, yes. A journalist could not sink any lower. But over the past few years, those hackers have left and the poor journos currently working there are taking the blame.

Journalists have to do some horrid things to get a story, but nothing this low. I hate phoning the emergency services' press lines. I dread the day I have to interview a grieving family. We have to do some awful things, but you, the reader, reads them.


Without an audience, there is no story. The phone hacking allegations came out years ago, and yet the public continued to buy the News of the World. Hopefully, now readers will think twice about the newspaper they are buying or the TV channel they are watching.


Think about it. Where did the story come from? How did they get their information? Who is in charge of the company and who do they do business with?


Now is the time to act and not be a passive consumer.


By buying a newspaper, you are paying the journalist. You are providing the money for them to investigate stories. Is your newspaper morally sound? Did you pay the phone bill for the hacking?


Andy Coulson, Clive Goodman and another unnamed journalist are currently under questioning by the police. But there's one person missing from the investigation, Rebekah Brooks. Why is she being left to run News International? Maybe, over the next few weeks we will find out the reason for her continued support from Murdoch.



Just an interesting little article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14054497

Hopefully, those soulless journalists that brought the fine art of journalism into disrepute will be forced to face the consequences.



Best of luck to those that have been Murdochs scapegoats
