    News of the World to shut down, Empty News of the World to shut down,

    Post by Jordi Fri Jul 08, 2011 2:49 am

    I'll find a link in a minute. Last edition will be on Sunday, with all proceeds from that going to a good cause.

    http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/07/07/news-of-the-world-shutting-down-after-sunday-edition/

    The scandal-hit British tabloid News of the World will shut down after Sunday's issue, its owner, News International, told CNN Thursday.

    Journalists at News of the World, a tabloid that is the world's top-selling English-language newspaper, have been accused of hacking into the mobile phone account of missing British teenager Milly Dowler, intercepting messages in search of news.

    They then allegedly deleted messages to keep her mailbox from filling up, giving her family and friends false hope that the schoolgirl - later found murdered - was still alive.

    Police also are investigating suggestions the paper - known for its exposes of celebrities and politicians - may have targeted the relatives of other high profile crime victims, including at least one of those killed in the 2005 London bombings.

    The news comes after the officer leading the investigation said they have identified nearly 4,000 potential victims of illegal eavesdropping by a private investigator working for the tabloid.

    James Murdoch has announced that this Sunday will be the last edition of the News of the World.

    Tom Watson, a Labour MP who rallied against the paper told Sky News: "Let's be clear it was not Rupert Murdoch who closed the News of the World it was good honest people up and down the country."

    Adding "good riddance'.

    Why has it taken 22 years for the whole country to see them for the liars they are? News of the World, finished. Don't Buy The Sun.

    They will be back within weeks with a new name, like 'The Sunday Sun'. And the masses will still buy it.

    I'm saddened by this news. Much more fun to read than the boring papers.

    They're smart. They'll just be re-branded as The Sunday Sun and now they have people calling Sky News saying how sad it is, completely forgetting about all the recent revelations.

    Serves them right, but you can't tell me they're the only rag hacking into people's personal shit. All these other rags that are splashing it front page have been doing the same shit. But News of the World is the first to get caught. Hopefully, this example will serve to put an end to tabloids invading people's privacy.
