    Yes, compared to the WP. Look, I'm not saying that the WSJ is ****. It's just not as good as you think it is.

      Amputation to protect the remaining body. Wonder if it will work.

        Umm... Rawkus Records... the hip hop label that started the careers of Mos Def and Talib Kweli and was known as the premier conscious, if a little Black Nationalist, rap label of the late 90's (and the label behind "The Lyricist Lounge") was owned by James Murdoch...

        It's kind of funny that that type of neo-Native Tongues hip hop label was funded by Murdoch

          So they've ditched a tainted brand at a difficult time, but broadly it's the strategy they wanted to follow anyway before this all blew up.

            Cameron has said there will be investigations and that he will shut down all media for the time being unless they declare loyalty to him. Or so I heard.

                He had hired the ex-News of the World editor who's just been arrested as one of his top advisors... and is friends with the other one who needs to be sacked.

                He's bowing to immense public pressure to speak out about the alleged illegal behaviour of his personal friends.

                So it's kind of the opposite of that...

                      I think it is a special talent...you know Tories have the most refined smarm detectors...you'd think it would be drowned out by the background smarm coming from themselves and their party

                        yeah, it's a pretty cynical move. murdoch must really value wade, because it looks like he's sacrificed the whole NOTW staff to protect her.

                          Well he is more of a Alastair, with the capacity to deceive... only that he is on the way to finish in jail for his methods... Mcbride is an amateur in comparison.

                            Here's where she admits paying the police:

                            Rebekah Brooks (neé Wade) admitting to paying police for information, before Andy Coulson silences her. This was in front of a select committee in March, 200...

                              Notice how quickly Coulson steps in to shut her down.
