I don't really do schadenfreude.

[Sean]

hmmmm... just saw that thread... more apt perhaps than this one...

quite sure you're right
(well not as right as 'correct')

fox news here has all but ignored the stories.

the u.s. competitor 24/7 nets
(well... cnn/hn and msnbc's 13/5)
have jumped all over
and up and down
and through and again

all week.

cynically,
it seems a perfect excuse to bury a physical paper paper
that became more 'buggy whip'
each eminute.

the ad revenue diaspora in the wake of the scandal
simply made an inevitable business decision
that much easier to execute...

quite sure not a blob of vegemite was spilled.

It's been THE major story over here for the last week, front page of every newspaper, lead in every tv and radio bulletin. Apart from The Sun, they had a couple of paragraphs on page six.

whatever happened to robert maxwell?

He's living it up with Lord Lucan in Barbados.

 

[Joeybagadonuts]

There's a reason for that...

Yeah I know a bit about Rupert and News Corp. I witnessed what he did at Dow Jones.

I've always felt that the Post deserved an award for the most tasteless banner headlines.

I loved reading the Post for their sports section but decided to boycott when they did something very racist a few years ago that escapes me now.

Seeing as this is a Sean thread, It's safe to assume that schadenfreude is German for anal fisting.

Did you know that 'fisting' is not in the firefox dictionary?

More often than not it makes me uncomfortable. But I have to admit to taking immense pleasure in watching Murdoch's flagship piece of bogroll getting fucked up the arse with a barbed wire dildo.

So far Ford, Mitsubishi, the co-op, Eon, HBOS, Virgin and a few others have pulled their advertising. Hopefully the vile rag will die a painful death.

Rupert Murdoch is one of those types who are incapable of feeling pain, remorse or anything that gets in the way of making money, or the ability to turn supposed disaster into making even more money. So go ahead and feel good that the bastard is getting his due. Just don't call it schadenfreude.

Besides, is this the face of someone who cares how anyone else feels?

Today, Murdoch announced that the News of the World will shut down after this Sunday's edition. Care to guess how long before it re-opens as More News of the World?

but it's not really schadenfreude, it's more like good old fashioned gloating.

and driving back from work today and hearing about TNOTW being dumped was the first time I really got any sense about what was happening.

The plot thickens.

Rebekah Brooks clinging onto her job despite hundreds of staff losing theirs; the arrests of former royal editor Clive Goodman and his boss Coulson; the writhing of Cameron (and most political figures being highlighted); the announcing of at least two investigations, including one judge-led... and so it rolls...


makes me wonder how many other things will come to light, not only in this 'house' of media. seems to me that it might come to light this practise is prevalent (or at least endemic and largely glossed over as a 'known') throughout the tabloid press as pressure to get that story first has risen to fever-pitch in the industry.

Pfft! Nothing will be revealed or the judge's phonecalls will.

did you use an illegal phone hack (tap) to get that info?

I think Brooks must have some video of rupert getting pegged by maggie thatcher to be keeping her job this long.

i think she certainly has something... or more than one somethings up her sleeve. her bully tactics, though, are less likely to scare the politicos intent on seeing her downfall.... now it's just a matter of finding those not already wrapped in her web.

Chief executive of News International Rebekah Brooks tonight hinted that there were worse revelations to come and told News of the World staff they would understand 'in a year' why the title had to close.
During a meeting with despondent staff which lasted almost two hours, she made a thinly-veiled reference to as yet undisclosed 'revelations'.

not the same thing. she's being protected so she isn't going to reveal anything damaging about newscorp or the murdochs.

not the same thing. she's being protected so she isn't going to reveal anything damaging about newscorp or the murdochs.

But indicative. When she says we will "understand in a year" it suggests that we will be allowed just enough to throw us off the scent.

my guess is the 'revelations' will be about cameron or some other politico. this is being thrown out as a warning to someone with clout, to ensure the BskyB deal doens't fall through.

 

[torchthebitch]

As you say it will be sufficiently salacious. Purely to get us talking about it, rather than asking what we are not being told.
