One Tabloid Down...
Today was a good day for all. With the demise of the News of The World, and serious questions being asked in the UK House of Commons about how much sway the likes of News International has over our lives, are we witnessing the beginning of a long-overdue slow death for the tabloid publications and shows that have blighted our lives for so long? I couldn't help but think of MJ with his "Burn All Tabloids" sign when the NOTW got the axe today, and it felt like he'd be smiling somewhere, thinking "one down...". It might be wishful thinking that more will follow suit, but as long as two more don't rear up to replace it then that's okay with me. It feels like some people are slowly awakening to the reality of the hold the media and the press has over our consciousness. We need way more to wake up though, the masses are SO unaware. The question is, how to capitalise while people are beginning to distrust the media? When all this blows over (assuming a further scandal doesn't cause a domino effect) the opportunity has been lost. Any ideas guys?

In a related incident:
According to the newswires, police raided the offices of the Daily Star on Sunday and arrested Clive Goodman, who was the former NotW royal reporter and now works for the Daily Star.
The NOTW had links to organized crime, This from the David Icke forum:
Mp Tom Watson has exposed in parliament that News International was paying people to interfere with police officers and were doing so on behalf of known criminals. We know now that News International had entered the criminal underworld..
The media are not reporting this part about a murder investigation and how News of the World staff tried to discredit a police officer who was investigating a murder, all done on behalf of the criminal underworld.
"But last night the full extent of Mrs Brooks' alleged knowledge of criminal activity nearly a decade ago became clear.
According to The Guardian, she was summoned to a meeting at Scotland Yard in January 2003 where she was told that one of her most senior journalists, Alex Marunchak, had apparently agreed to use photographers and vans leased to the paper to run surveillance on behalf of Jonathan Rees and Sid Fillery.
They were two private investigators who were suspected of murdering their former partner, Daniel Morgan.
The Yard saw this as a possible attempt to pervert the course of justice
This is unbelievable stuff to be out in the open.
