Old Speckled Hen Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Oh for heaven's sake this guy isn't a media mogul for nothing. Happily sacrificing all the poor souls who worked for him on the NOW............What about them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 They will just relaunch it with a new name I bet. Same staff. Same tactics. Same stench of corruption. New logo. Are we talking about newspapers or governments here? Silly me they're the same.... Re the relaunch, I smell a bit of whitewashing going on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Last edition this Sunday. That's as it should be. Whitewash and big PR exercise IMO...not impressed.. I imagine that Malcolm Tucker is very busy in the corridors of power tonight....!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that Malcolm Tucker is very busy in the corridors of power tonight....!! Yup, the stench of whitewash is overpowering I understand that they were talking about moving to working 7 days per week and that there was quite a bit of resistance; redundancy now sorts that all out nicely believe me, RM wouldn't have done it for the benefit of his staff - he's never been know as a moralist.

And last week a joint management position for both NOTW and The Sun was created - according to my copy of the metro this morning. It had a large portion of its pages dedicated to this story today. Andy Coulson has been "arrested" (read: asked to attend a police station) - and they expect Rebekah Brooks to be 'arrested' soon too, David Cameron is going to struggle to come out of this looking clean.

Reikiranf Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I think the whole thing is like some awful film depicting the future, where you can't trust anyone as the world is owned by big corporations & everyone & everything is corrupt, depressing isn't it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrensWorld Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Rupert the "Dirty Digger" must support/defend Rebekah Brooks because the next person up the chain of arrests is James Murdoch. and he could face criminal charges on both sides of the Atlantic. I hasten to add I've never read the NoW or the Sun.... Have a nice day Rupe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Sara Payne has expressed her regret at the NOTW going as they were a great help to her with the Sarah's Law campaign.

I feel somewhat 'okay' (but still not really at all...) because the profits went to charity - so news international didn't profit from his money hungry shrewd ebay mentality I'll make him buy me a pink and a purple cube! hehehe.
