Is this the Murdoch press deciding it will not be alone in the spotlight?

Should be interesting

Listening on Radio 5, Morgan came across as the sleazy greaseball he obviously is......Used the James Murdoch defence of not actually having any control of things, despite supposedly being the boss....





Particularly loved the bit where, when asked about who told him how hacking was actually performed, he says he remembers the moment being shown, but couldn't recall the actual individual who told him....

And on a related issue – [url=http://nthurlbeck.blogspot.com/2012/01/notes-on-leveson-and-need-for-tabloid.htmlthank goodness Murdoch was able to keep News International free of those interfering unions. The examples of management styles mentioned here might have been threatened otherwise.[/url

'tis a good article is that, and he raises a very good issue regarding the embracing of web pages by tabloid media and the opportunity to reformat their image as being something worthy - one look at The Sun or The Mirror's web sites will instantly affirm any preconceptions that you had about what their target market is - its even more market focused than the printed versions of the newspapers are, at least in the printed versions you get [isome[/i news.

This is child's play - you must have gone soft if this really offends you?

So in essence you're saying that you approve of bullying?



Okay – at what age is it acceptable to start being a bully? Are there some targets you wouldn't personally bully – or is everyone fair game?



Is bullying only acceptable in the workplace or do you think it should be allowed everywhere?



Do you also think that general rudeness is a good thing too?

Indeed. The same with the [iMail[/i's website too. Makes the print version look good.
