the shit-rag and its associates deserve to be put out of business.

Shouldve happened in '67. those bullshit charges against Mick, Keith, and Brian were trumped up and sensationalized. Imagine how many lives theyve screwed up.

Fortunately in 67...there was no Kid Rock.........

Put down in 2011?

Should have been strangled at birth. Finally this week has seen it literally 'hacked to death'.

There's an old saying that the public gets the press it deserves. Its been an awful indictment of this country that this shite-rag has been the most popular and powerful newspaper in the UK for decades.

Well something has to be used to line bird cages and wrap fish and chips..right?

Murdoch bought News of the World in 69. He owns Melbourne's biggest selling piece of shit, the Herald-Sun, and today there were 2 editorials saying how every othe paper he owns is different from News of the world. Which here in Oz, is probably true. We dont have page 3 girls (bummer!), but we do have more or less Fox News channel in paper format. A decidedly conservative, mainstream, WASP paper that zero's in on Mr & Mrs Average's fear of left "elites", out of control street crime, todays terrible youth, fear and dread of Muslims and refugees "flooding" the country. Our papers pin up boy of the past few years is "journalist" Andrew Bolt who seems to channel the atrocious Glenn Beck at every opportunity.

it's about time is right! what they did to The Stones in '67 was criminal, all to cover their asses because Mick had a libel suit against them, even George Harrison said the police waited till he was gone, don't touch the fabs, they should have been gone a long time ago.

Hi Bitch!

Rupert Murdoch has closed the News Of The World, with Sunday being the last day of publication.

To say it's been all over the news here in the UK is an understatement.

Regarding Jagger and other celebrities: whilst it is totally wrong that anyone's phone conversation and text messaging service should be hacked into, it was their spying on the the families of murdered children that was truly chilling - that and paying the Met Police for secret information!

George Michael announced on Twitter earlier today that British authorities have requested to interview him about his comments regarding Rebekah Brooks, the editor of the recently shuttered U.K. tabloid News of the World. The pop star took to Twitter last week to celebrate the end of the paper, which has been embroiled in a major phone-hacking scandal. In that string of tweets, Michael mentioned that he once confronted Brooks, who he says had mysteriously entered his home to tell him that "it was never the public" that came to the paper with information regarding his activities, and that "the police always got there first."

In another flurry of tweets today, Michael continued to talk about the phone-hacking scandal, insisting that it is "so important to the future of Britain." This time around, the singer focused his vitriol on Jonathan Rees, a private investigator that he says is a key figure in the News of the World's illegal activities. The singer urged his fans to read up on the Guardian's reporting on Rees, declaring the rival paper to be "the true heroes in all of this."

While on the topic of his home being surveilled by the press, Michael shared an anecdote about a pair of photographers who camped outside his estate for years. "One night in particular, I strolled over the road to one of them and tapped on his window and said 'I hope you like my taste in men," he wrote.

I did see it mentioned a week or two that he was. Mind you, its no big deal as theyve been doing it with thousands of people. If anything, I'm feeling left out in that no one appears to have hacked mine.

The Herald-Sun sounds like Riffy's dream newspaper.
