This amazing you tube clip shows Rebekah Brooks the editor of the soon to be defunct News of the World admitting to a Parliamentary committe that NOTW had paid police for information in the past with her then boss Andy Coulson desperately moving to cover up by saying the payments only happened within the law. A nonsense defence as paying police for information is illegal. The Murdoch petrified parliamentarians allow this to pass on by. Coulson went on to become the spokesman for the Tory government under David Cameron. Cameron defended him as the phone hacking scandal spread from royals to politicians and celebrities finally cutting him loose a couple of months ago. Now the expectation is that Coulson is to be arrested. Brooks has been kept on as a buffer to be sacrificed if necessary to keep the heat off Murdoch and his son James who runs the UK operations and seems to be his preferred succesor. The closure of NOTW this weekend comes as major advertisers have deserted it. Already News has copyrighted the Sunday Sun name so the dead paper can be replaced by a seventh day edition of the the Murdoch-owned Sun.This maybe remembers as the rag that greeted the sinking of the Belgrano in the Malvinas War with the full frontpage headline GOTCHA. The other thing playing on the Murdochs minds is their bid to gain complete ownership of the BSkyB network-a sort of British version of Fox news without the hysterical Beck-O'Reilly-Hannity-Palin edge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1AJjnl2y8U -- Shared using Google Toolbar ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
