Re: Update on Phone-hacking inquiry: News of the World Apologises
Did u see John Prescott and one of the reporters from the news of the world i think he was on 10 oclock live? The reporter stated outright he thought it was ok to ho hack peoples phones who are rich and famous to see if what they are saying was true because the public have a right to know, but as John Prescott said that could be anything and anyone it could even mean a famous dancer etc.

Re: Update on Phone-hacking inquiry: News of the World Apologises
It depends on how endemic phone hacking has become in News Internationals other media.Is NOW the only paper within the 'empire' that is habitually doing this and I wonder how many people are currently holding their breath.
Me personally I'd like the whole inquiry to be expanded to the rest of the industry but that's not going to happen unless there is new evidence. |
Re: Update on Phone-hacking inquiry: News of the World Apologises
Tip of a very large iceberg methinks.
I wonder how many famous/important people still have their voicemail accounts on their default settings without a personalised PIN... |

Re: Update on Phone-hacking inquiry: News of the World Apologises
To be honest there is nothing I can say that I haven't said several times before about the gutter these people dwell in. Unlike the politicians, the celebraties and the public servants the press is quite keen to expose, vilify and lecture on mortality, they have no one holding them to account. They poison public discourse, they deliberately seek to cause public anger and outrage at often trivial or non-existant 'scandals'.
Nothing we can do about it. People still buy the paper, they will remember that it can't be trusted until it publishes something they agree with and it suddenly becomes a trustworthy source. Then, in a few months, they will expose some moron celebrity who has had an affair which they learned off via similar dodgy means and everyone will tut with moral indignation and around and around we go. |
Re: Update on Phone-hacking inquiry: News of the World Apologises
I wonder why all of this has recently started to come out... someone with friends in Millbank perhaps who are on a mission to discredit Murdoch's tools of manipulation? (I hope so).
Freedom of the press is one of the cornerstones of our society but it is unfortunately a value which is inherently flawed in it's openness to abuse by this type of ****. I hope this really is the beginning of the end for the notw and the dismantling of Murdoch's empire. Let the dirt be dished. |
re: NotW phone hacking allegations: Milly Dowler, Soham, 7/7, dead soldiers' families...
I've been listening to this unfolding on the radio during this morning and I'm absolutely gobsmacked.
I am waiting with interest to hear how Rebekah Brooks (nee Wade) articulates her inevitable defence of "Yes, I was the editor, but no, I didn't know how we were getting that information about Milly and I didn't ask." If Rupert Murdoch allows her to continue leading News International's internal investigation in the light of these new allegations, well ... there simply aren't words. |

Sickening. |
re: NotW phone hacking allegations: Milly Dowler, Soham, 7/7, dead soldiers' families...
Sickening it is. However as a nation we need to take a long, hard look in the mirror. Our national newspapers are commercial operations that stand or fall on their circulation figures. They run the stories they do, because those stories sell papers.
It is no longer good enough for us to say we didn't know how the journalists got their information. We now know exactly the sort of measures that are employed. The question now is, will we as a nation stop supporting these rags with our pocket change? |
re: NotW phone hacking allegations: Milly Dowler, Soham, 7/7, dead soldiers' families...
Wonder what more is it come? Imagine the headlines the News of the World would have come up with if someone else had hacked these phones? Big picture of the perpetrator, their name and a long article condemning them and their 'sick' acts.
|
re: NotW phone hacking allegations: Milly Dowler, Soham, 7/7, dead soldiers' families...
It was Ms. Wade that led the wave of vigilantism against suspected pedophiles with her 'name and shame' campaign while she was editor of the Screws. And we all know what a public service that turned out to be.
She's a thoroughly ruthless and unpleasant hack who will say and do whatever she needs to do in the commercial interests of her employer. She's the very last person to be leading an enquiry into these goings on. She may be whiter than white so far as knowledge of, or involvement with, the phone hacking scandal is concerned, but the fact is, it all took place on her watch. She needs to be a million miles away from it right now, or else people will justifiably suspect a whitewash. |
re: NotW phone hacking allegations: Milly Dowler, Soham, 7/7, dead soldiers' families...
So if they were able to hack into the data for the phones what else could they have been getting access to ? . Internet usage, email data, the mind boggles
|
re: NotW phone hacking allegations: Milly Dowler, Soham, 7/7, dead soldiers' families...
They only 'hacked' into them to the extent that most people don't have remote access to their mobile voicemail set up properly - it is often still on the default PIN, or if it has been set it is often an easily guessable number. Simply a case of dialling in and entering the PIN. Hacking properly secured or encrypted data would be a whole different matter and probably beyond the skillz of a freelance reporter or private dick.
|
re: NotW phone hacking allegations: Milly Dowler, Soham, 7/7, dead soldiers' families...
The other thing is Rebekah Wade denied most to this the PCC and she told a commons inquiry that The Guardian "has substantially and likely deliberately misled the British public" when they printed the allegations. They should sue, more than enough evidence that she was fibbing there.

I also think that Chris is right,the only way to stop this sort of behaviour is for the readers of these rags to stop buying them because the PCC is a waste of time |

Not sure if anyone else saw Channel 4 News but they revealed that a few years ago The News of the World has a surveillance team targeting a police officer.
The Police officer was investigating the murder of a private investigator. He appeared on Crimewatch during an appeal and a few days later they started following him. The police noticed and did a counter surveillance operation following the NOTW team that was following the office in question. When confronted about this the NOTW said they thought he was having an affair with one of the presenters of the show. The officer and the presenter in question were married at the time. However coincidentally many of the people the officer was investigating for the murder where also private investigators working for....The News of the World. Anyone getting the feeling all these sick cases are the pilot fish for a much bigger story? |
re: NotW phone hacking allegations: Milly Dowler, Soham, 7/7, dead soldiers' families...
Interesting how companies who pay for ads in these papers are only NOW considering removing them.
*shakes head* Tabloids, it's a shame they aren't banned, perhaps the average IQ in this country would rise if they did. :P It amazes me how newspapers are able to repeatedly get away with violating people's privacy, yet all they seem to get is a slap on the wrist and a fine. |

I frankly don't give a flying fig that a celebs phone has been hack, and may have exposed things they shouldn't have done.
But when it may have hampered a missing child case then people should go to prison. |

Havn't followed this that closely but have caught the highlights on the news and it made me sick to the stomach. Also have seen the police investigating the phone hacking case have gone and spoken to the parents of the soham victims if they find any hacking or anything in that case then the book should be picked up and thrown as hard as law will allow.
I really do hope that this will finally open the eye's of many to what a disreputable scumbag filled organisation news international is. They seem to seek only to have us all at each others throats and be out to cause as much pain and harm as they can truly despicable bunch of people. I cannot see how they can continue to carry on without at least a sacrificial lamb thrown to the wolves but i doubt we will ever see the real decision makers who authorised this taking the responsibility or getting what they deserve. People of the UK wake up smell them for what they are and never give them another penny of your money. |

As for RB not being aware, Channel 4 appear to think differently, and I'd be shocked if she was totally unaware of something like this because, regardless of the legality of it, it would make their main advertisers nervous. Nervous advertisers don't spend money, and the NOTW stands to lose a lot of money from each company. |

If any of this is proved then not only should anyone and everyone involved do jail time but a full judicial review into the media be conducted and laws changed so this can never happen again.
Our media have been out of control for quite a while and have gotten away with far too much. Enough is enough we the public can actually do something this time we can withhold our money until things change and decency and integrity make a return to journalism. |
