News of the World shutting down amid scandal

All yellow journalism outlets should be shut down. Almost every thing they do is sleazy, or completely untrue.

Not impressed. It'll just come back under some new name, and those ambulance-chasing parasites will still be around.

This is a win for humanity.

News of the World involved in a scandal? Say it ain't so!

It's can't be closed down fast enough. The perpetrators should be prosecuted. There is no excuse. And, they have accomplices... those mental midgets who bought the taboid. You share the responsibility by funding the atrocities.

"Wrongdoers turned a good newsroom bad"
The top name on the list of wrong doers?....Rupert Murdoch

One thing I would like to see is a news agency that delivers the news without bias one way or another and tells the whole story, not sound bites or editorializing.

"James Murdoch, Rupert's son, said if the allegations were true, "it was inhuman and has no place in our company."

What a lying POS.

Just another business decision for Rupert Murdoch.

Between this and the giant loss News Corp took on MySpace, I'd say it has been a lousy week for the Murdochs.

Come on, England. Don't wimp out. Issue arrest criminal warrants and ruinous fines on Rupert Murdoch and News Corp. Do the world a favor!!!

Good! One rag down....onward and upward until we rid the world of creepy, unethical, and biased journalists!!! Can't happen to all of them soon enough.

People eally should stop callign this a news paper...... it's toilet paper with words on it. Use teh wrod tabloid..... that's what the article did, they never call it a newspaper, casue there's no news in it.

That's good, but it doesn't address the issues of what happened while it was open. Hacking into anyone's phone, celebrity, missing murdered teen, or dead soldier is reprehensible, and the people who did it and authorized it should be punished in a court of criminal law.

A victory for humanity against "sewer journalism".

GOOD %%$###$ RIDDANCE!!!!!!! Today the average IQ of the world's population just went up a point.

How many of you guys think that what happened in England stayed in England? Do you think, It was only Murdoch's NEWS OF THE WORLD that was guilty of hacking into people's phones and paying off authorities to get information.

Do you think, people should be investigating Fox News, the Boston Globe, and the Wall Street Journal -- all owned by the Australian -- for illegal practices as well?

“Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power." Benito Mussolini

With the help of Fox, the GOP sure is trying to make Mussolini's dream a reality. But since the GOP's SCotUS majority ruled that corporations are people (but apparently don't have to pay taxes or abide by the same laws people do) I have any idea. Let's bring back child labor and allow illegal immigrants to take 'some' jobs from Americans.

Texas: "...one [bill], proposed by Republican state Rep. Debbie Riddle, stands out.

...Those who hire unauthorized immigrants would be in violation of the law -- unless they are hiring a maid, a lawn caretaker or another houseworker."

Maine State Sen. Debra Plowman (R) introduced a separate bill that would extend the number of hours employers can require a minor to work. Maine Gov. Paul LePage (R) backs this proposal.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) delivered a lengthy lecture where he claimed that federal child labor laws violate the Constitution. His Republican colleagues in the Senate rewarded him with a seat on the Senate Judiciary Committee — the committee with jurisdiction over constitutional questions.

Missouri State Sen. Jane Cunningham (R) introduced a bill which would “eliminate the prohibition on employment of children under age fourteen. Restrictions on the number of hours and restrictions on when a child may work during the day are also removed.”

It's sad that a 168-year old newspaper takes the fall, for the actions of a few unscrupulous, unethical, dishonest scumballs.

I wonder when FOX Noise is finally going to take a fall, after all the times they've been caught lying about crowd sizes & so on. After all, it's also a Murdoch-owned garbage pile.

if fox news says it, the sheep follow.
