        The main journalist who broke Watergate back in the 70's is now commenting to the BBC about "Rupertgate".

        The criticism of Rupert Murdoch in the wake of the UK's phone-hacking scandal has spread to the US, according to one of the journalists who broke the Watergate scandal.

          Watergate journalist? Main journalist who broke Watergate? You'd think Bob Woodward was more famous than that that they (and you) could use his name

            I'm going to suggest that the reason why the Murdochs are standing by Brooks, against all reason, is that they're terrified she'll testify that James Murdoch knew what was going on.

              Supposedly it's been going on for five years and senior management was even directing reporters to hack stuff to get information to print. That's so long a time period everyone just had to know what was going on especially the very top. BTW the ex-editor just made bail: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14077405

                "Thankyou and Goodbye" - how pathetic. And reportedly they had an Orwell quote on the back of their last issue? I hope it was from 1984.

                  Rupert doesn't want this little scandal to set back his plans to dominate the telemedia in all of the English speaking world.

                    That's what I was wondering.

                          The quote was taken from the essay Decline of the English Murder:

                          ‘It is a Sunday afternoon, preferably before the war. The wife is already asleep in the armchair and the children have been sent out for a nice long walk. You put your feet up on the sofa, settle your spectacles on your nose and open the News of the World.’

                              Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown is "shocked" by allegations the Sunday Times, owned by News of the World proprietor News International, targeted his personal information.


                              It looks like killing the News of the World didn't have the effect Murdock was hoping for. The scandal has now spread to a second Murdock publication, The Sunday Times. Oppsies.

                                News International as well.


                                Triple oopsies, he forgot about shareholders of the paper he just tanked.


                                Yeah, uh, News of the World may now be worth the value of its real estate, but the Murdochs own an entire empire for the lawyers of the shareholders to plunder.
