[glow=red:1dqqhppk]Rupert Murdoch's media conglomerate announced today that it is closing down 168-year-old News of the World, Britain's biggest Sunday tabloid[/glow:1dqqhppk]currently embroiled in an intensifying scandal over alleged phone hacking of celebrities, families of terror victims and a murdered girl.
James Murdoch, who heads News International's European operations, said the paper will publish its last edition Sunday.
Murdoch told the staff that the paper's good deeds "have been sullied by behavior that was wrong; indeed, if recent allegations are true, it was inhuman and has no place in our company.
"The News of the World is in the business of holding others to account. But it failed when it came to itself," James Murdoch, Rupert's son, said. "Wrongdoers turned a good newsroom bad and this was not fully understood or adequately pursued."
Murdoch said the final edition will be ad free, with profits donated to charity. "These are strong measures. They are made humbly and out of respect. I am convinced they are the right thing to do," he said.
The News of the World's alleged hacking had affected News Corp.'s stock price and raised questions about the company's proposed takeover of British Sky Broadcasting.

As the scandal continues to unravel, its scope is becoming clear. London's Metropolitan Police say detectives are now analyzing and sifting through 11,000 pages of material, evidence that contains 4,000 names from the paper. The police have asked for patience as these thousands of possible victims are reached in the probe.
The allegations paint the journalists at News of the World as callous reporters who would apparently stop at nothing to get a tabloid headline. Actor Hugh Grant, who himself was hacked by the News of the World, lashed out at one of the paper's former reporters on the BBC saying ''you guys had no morals, no scruples at all, you didn't care who got hurt, just as long as you were able to sell your newspaper for a lot of money. Your only motive was profit.''
The paper is also alleged to have sent payments to Scotland Yard officers. The details of the alleged payments of tens of thousands of dollars surfaced on Wednesday after emails were sent to police by News International as part of its internal investigation.
Even more damaging, potentially, is that they reportedly also show that the payments were authorized by British Prime Minister David Cameron's former spokesman, Andy Coulson, when he was editing the News of the World. This investigation will be overseen by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.

James Murdoch said the paper had wrongly maintained that the hacking was limited to one reporter. "We now have voluntarily given evidence to the police that I believe will prove that this was untrue and those who acted wrongly will have to face the consequences. This was not the only fault. The paper made statements to Parliament without being in the full possession of the facts. This was wrong."

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."I couldn't agree with you more. Karma is a bitch. As my mom would say what goes around comes around, but it will come back tenfold. Now people are waking up and each individual person will be accountable for their actions. As I was telling a colleague of mine I think that each reporter that does not do their homework and write something that is not accurate should be sued. The individual reporter should be sued, then maybe just maybe they will think before they react.
Indeed, also TS's post today
Keep an eye out for 777!

Isn't it unusual for someone in Murdochs position to be so prepared to take full responsibilty for such wrong doing and close the paper down. Hmmmmm. I think this could well be the start of something. <!-- smj_bad/ -->mj_bad/<!-- smj_bad/ -->
Murrays trial was also postponed today! Maybe there will be no need for a trial at all, now it's as though the media are on trial in a manner of speaking.
Murray's trial wasn't postponed, there is a hearing postponed. Trial is still set to start on September 8.

Just a reminder that Prince Al-Waleed, Michael's partner in Kingdom Entertainment, owns 7% of FOX along with some editorial rights.

Just feels to me like the dominoes are starting to fall. I can almost hear the sounds of that runaway train.
I hope it really starts something good.
I wonder how those people react who used to read this paper... Do they spend some time thinking over this case, or just start to buy another tabloid...?

MURDOCH NEWSPAPER'S 'DISINFORMATION' ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON[/glow:2suxps5c]
Is the CIA trying to spread lies about Michael Jackson's death?
On 29 June 2009, the Los Angeles coroner's office dismissed as "inaccurate" claims made in Rupert Murdoch's Sun newspaper (UK) that Michael Jackson's autopsy revealed he was emaciated and almost bald when he died.
