Profits at media group News Corporation rose by nearly two thirds in the final three months of last year.

Rupert Murdoch's media company said net income rose to £670m ($1.06bn) over the period, up from £395m ($624m) in 2010.

Which reminds me ...
when will we hear about the launch plans for NOTW2 (The Sun on Sunday) ?

there will be no 'Sun on Sunday' rag.

The Leveson Enquiry is just beginning..it will be at least 2 years down the track before we get near prosecuting and jailing the bunch of guttersnipes who have wrecked the British newspaper industry.

There isn't a current News Corp executive in their right mind who can take responsibility for a new newspaper in the current atmosphere.

The SOS was a Murdoch fantasy and another appalling mistake the old fool has made when he should have sold the NoTW to the highest bidder at the very beginning of the scandal.

The only reason that family is still there is because large shareholders can't afford to ditch them at present.

When that red haired c*nt declared to a distressed staff that the NoTW had to close they were weeping for good reason.

Harsh words ??..go to Heather Mills website where she nicely lays out The Sun front pages beating the war drums and spare a thought for the tens of thousands of Iraqis and Afghanis who have died because of these lowlifes.

Diner At Rupert's

"Klein, Brooks, and James Murdoch recommended that Brooks continue to manage the company’s response from London. Doing so could reduce any chance of the scandal ensnaring Rupert Murdoch or James (...) There was no reason, the executives argued, for a radical shift now.

Lon Jacobs, News Corp.’s general counsel, disagreed. For weeks he had urged Murdoch to get out in front of the widening scandal and launch an independent investigation into wrongdoing at News of the World (...) Murdoch, however, did not want another arm of his own empire to potentially expose Brooks and James. Rejecting Jacobs’s advice, Murdoch chose that evening to stick to the London-based containment strategy, with Brooks supervising it."

And the rest is history ...

Think you are wrong, veritas.

The closure of the Screws of the World was only a token gesture - they weren't going to give away the income from the biggest selling Sunday voluntarily, were they?

Tits on Sunday will be announced soon.
