JK2006	To close the thread; there will be a variety of opinions as to how it went but I have a feeling the majority will think it unedifying that an old man was bullied. For those commenting that the News of the World specialised in bullying the vulnerable I'd say - exactly and I found that unpleasant too. And it went on for many years before Murdoch bought it. I remember.
HaventAClue	OK forget the fun, check the facts TRUE OZ-BRIT peerless St Pilger: johnpilger.com/articles/amid-the-murdoch...of-business-as-usual johnpilger.com/articles/amid-the-murdoch...of-business-as-usual johnpilger.com/articles/the-bbc-is-on-murdoch-s-side johnpilger.com/articles/flying-the-flag-faking-the-news johnpilger.com/articles/welcome-to-the-w...-s-first-murdochracy johnpilger.com/articles/murdoch-a-cultural-chernobyl
HaventAClue	Aaah, diddums....
JK2006	Great line by Leveson after question and answer between Murdoch and Jay on the Rebekah/This One incident - "I think we may be coming back to that".
JK2006	Yes well fine for one post but no more please; gives me a headache. So let's see how Murdoch goes down today. For me he's a brilliant but fading elderly proprietor who's done incredibly well in business; ruthless, sometimes with erratic morality but no worse than hundreds of over company bosses in different industries. I think the serious and damaging attitude is blaming him for the ghastly behaviour of others; more in News International because it's bigger and better than most. Next worst? The Mail. But it's the people who work under him - usually very well but the better the employee, the bigger the mistakes will be (by definition; nobody notices mistakes in papers nobody reads; TV nobody watches). And those who work under THEM. And ultimately - US, who buy it, want it, prefer bad news to good, like sleazy scandal and gossip. It's neither the bosses nor the industry that's to blame. It's the drones in the structure.
