It has een announced the Newspaper is to close after the latest news on the phone hacking scandal...

Closing it is a bit drastic...Mind you all it's advertisers dropped out....Yet the Editor who was in charge then is now C E O for News international and she is staying in her job?????

Hundreds about to lose their jobs and yet the person in charge who was promoted keeps her Job......

grin cheers

Well,did he know about it all the time,authorise the phone tapping? Has she got that recorded?
By doing what he is doing,is he looking for damage limitation,ie,seen to be an honourable person by closing the paper,so it doesnt affect his TV aspirations.
A smoke screen,throw the others to the wolves?cheers

Probably, Murdoch cannot let it go. But do we now look at his bid for the T V Channels......Also the actions of the Met Police are suspect as well as they admitted receiving cash for information.

The whole thing reeks and the folk in charge are trying to get away with it.....grin

I will just copy and paste what I posted in the other thread...


It is just an attempt at a damage limitation exercise. Rebecca Wade may go but it will essentially be just a change of livery.

No coincidence that the the domain name thesunonsunday.co.uk Was snapped up two days ago!
