News of the World

If the allegations are true about the News of the World tapping the phones of the Soham parents and now the families of soldiers killed in Afganistan I hope other companies will follow Ford's lead and stop advertising in the paper and that the public will stop buying it. If you agree please pass it on.

I think those responsible should be punished to the full extent of the law. But if no one buys it or advertises in it, then it will go out of business and 1000's will loose their jobs, who have had nothing to do with the scandle in the first place.

These people are the scum of the earth, hopefully they'll feel it finacially, its the only thing they fear.

Which is very sad but it can't excuse what they've done. The media are far to powerful in this country and need taking down a peg or two

It's such a trashy sensationalistic paper anyhow... people shouldn't read it in the first place.

I haven't bought a newspaper for years because of things like this. It isn't new, they have been at it for decades and it is only certain things that get exposed. All the papers are as bad as each other for digging dirt on people just to "bring them down". Time they started doing something constructive by supporting people, companies, governments etc, instead of trying to destroy them all the time!

:hurray: well said, Russell!! Same here - the only time we clap eyes on papers is in our local cafe and they used to have papers in there, just stopped it though. But we used to look through while waiting for the food, and and H and I just look at each other across the table and say, good grief, people actually fill their mind with all that junk on a daily basis?? the Sun, NOTW, Daily Mail, the Mirror, all there, often with identical headlines - isn't it strange how the papers across the board are all interested at the same time what different celebrities are doing, who had an affair with whom (who cares? It's their business!) and on it goes, not food for the mind, mind toxins. The invasion of privacy into these poor families is just so low, and just shows the mentality of the people invloved. Murdoch needs to be stopped anyhow, in his media take-over bid, gutter brain with money, what a parasite. Probably a good thing all this is coming to light now.

Phew, that's better..

this is a valid point, a lot of jobs are in the printing and distrubution side

news of the screws, never read it and never will, it has no interest for me , I dont care which footballer is bonking whose wife. or x factor or any of the other rubbish we are subjected to. but it does provide employment

as for those responsible, send them to goal and send a clear message to other hacks

I'd boycott them. I don't buy them anyway so I can't but I would. Yeah sure they employ thousands, but nobody would boycott them to the point of them closing down. It'd just be a few months and people tend to forget I suppose. But it'd hit their pockets enough for them to notice.

And they wouldn't even not do this type of thing again, they'd just keep more quiet about it. From what it seems like, it's a feisty industry and it is a case of whoever get the story sell the most. NOTW have whole teams of people investigating claims. It's those guys that need a good slap for doing this sort of thing.

I think it's disgusting personally.

Pleased to hear Ford pulled out of it though! Niiice.

I believe it's just been announced that this Sundays edition of NOTW will be it's last......

I bought Daily Telewag for nigh on twenty years, not for news, but for it's great sport pages and cryptic crossword, but gave it up a couple of years ago when it went upto £1 a day,,,,,, I find TF more informative, more readable, and a helluva lot more fun!....oh, and cheaper too!

 

[Stewart]

Long long time since I bought a paper........

 

[mikethetile]

I just read them on line, though sometimes I go to the cafe, 50p for a cuppa and a free read of the papers

 

[strummerman]

" Dont buy the daily paper any more, to read all about what is going on in hell. They don't care to tell the world of kindness, good news never made a paper sell" John Williamson

I cant remember the last time I bought a paper. With all the info available these days via the net and with smart phones etc , I am surprised they still survive at all.

 

[hillhead]

Underhand tactics going on everywhere :yikes:
