Could The Worm Be Turning For Rupert Murdoch's Evil Empire?

How Murdoch’s paper allegedly broke into voice mail of dead girl, gave parents false hope, and interfered with a police investigation  Fucking gross. I hope this is the evil that finally gets repaid in kind 1000 fold. It couldn't happen to a nicer Evil Plutocrat and his evil, sychophantic minions..  Excerpts from Americablog and from their coverage from The Guardian..

Murdoch's people allegedly deleted voice mails from family members to the murdered girl imploring her to get in touch with them (they didn't know she was dead already). The paper then found that the voice mail was filling up, and they wanted to hear more messages, so they deleted some of the current messages for the dead girl, making the family think the girl was checking her messages and was still alive. The paper then interviewed the family who talked about their hope that the girl was still alive, while the paper said nothing about how it had helped create this false hope.

Excerpted from The Guardian..

Then, with the help of its own full-time private investigator, Glenn Mulcaire, the News of the World started illegally intercepting mobile phone messages. Scotland Yard is now investigating evidence that the paper hacked directly into the voicemail of the missing girl's own phone. As her friends and parents called and left messages imploring Milly to get in touch with them, the News of the World was listening and recording their every private word.

But the journalists at the News of the World then encountered a problem. Milly's voicemail box filled up and would accept no more messages. Apparently thirsty for more information from more voicemails, the paper intervened – and deleted the messages that had been left in the first few days after her disappearance. According to one source, this had a devastating effect: when her friends and family called again and discovered that her voicemail had been cleared, they concluded that this must have been done by Milly herself and, therefore, that she must still be alive. But she was not. The interference created false hope and extra agony for those who were misled by it.

The Dowler family then granted an exclusive interview to the News of the World in which they talked about their hope, quite unaware that it had been falsely kindled by the newspaper's own intervention. Sally Dowler told the paper: "If Milly walked through the door, I don't think we'd be able to speak. We'd just weep tears of joy and give her a great big hug."

The deletion of the messages also caused difficulties for the police by confusing the picture when they had few leads to pursue. It also potentially destroyed valuable evidence.

For Murdoch,this is serious.  These allegations could be pointing to systemic criminality not only at NOTW, but in potentially ALL of Murdoch owned media.  Investigations will spread, and more evidence will surface.  I wonder what those investigations will find?  Fox News has pissed a lot of people off--Don't you think those people won't want every shred of evidence they can get?  How ever will anyone come to a fair and balanced decision without every last shit nugget?

Also:  Canada to Rupert:  Real News need only apply, so fuck off..

Rupert is now 80, and facing what will probably be the largest and most destructive scandal of his career.  In the spirit of Fox News itself, I wish you well, Rupert, in all your future endeavours..
