Quote:
With revelations that some within News International’s ranks were not only dirty but criminal, Mr. Hinton is coming under scrutiny for what he did and did not know when he ran the company from 1995 until 2007, the period when the most egregious known examples of voice mail hacking by News International employees took place.
Gerald Kaufman, a member of Parliament who questioned Mr. Hinton at that 2003 hearing, recalled their frosty exchange. “Clearly it was dirty,” he said. “It’s not just I. It’s everybody in British public life who’s saying it’s dirty.”

With Murdoch's latest press release in The Wall Street Journal, he really is turning into Monty Burns, isn't he.

Unfortunately I can't read it as I refuse to pay either for the hardcopy or online version of ANY Murdoch owned news outlets.So he can defend himself as much as he likes in his paid for media as I cannot access it.

I don't think she'll be signing on anytime soon or out of work for very long.

Breaking news on the BBC
Former News of the World editor Andy Coulson stayed as a guest of David Cameron at Chequers in March, Press Association reports
I don't think that the water is muddied any more by this but I'm sure there'll be some who try to get mileage out of it.

I do not think that they will touch her due to what has gone off.

At last, we agree on something.
But it is quoted in other sources.

I was thinking more along the lines that some former editors have been employed by the Met.

Re: [Update] NotW closed after phone hacking allegations / NewsCorp's BSkyB bid withd
I think that is a shame that so many had too lose their jobs because of her (and others)had she resigned last week or earlier in the year when all this started things may have been different .There are reports that she tried to resign before personally i don't believe that for one second ,if she felt as responsible for the whole sorry buisness as she said she does she would have just one regaurdless of whet the Murdochs said

You don't think she "resigned" of her own accord now did you?
