When you run a corner shop, it's a big stretch. When you run a world wide empire, less so.

I think its a bit 'convenient' - like memory loss 'I cant recall that particular event' - it may have been a while since he was a journalist (he was wasnt he ?), but Im sure he still knows what goes on ... anyway ... OT - how's Donna ? 'g'

I suspect he's smart enough to know when not to ask how they got certain information, so that he can't be in a compromising position. Donna is fine, thanks. She got really tired over the weekend, which still happens, but overall, apart from no facial movement, she's doing well.

I wouldn't mind being a billion or so behind him.

Nothing I have seen would suggest that. He was always a publisher and history would suggest he was interested in the money making side and not the news. Because of that he probably was never engaged in the news gathering process and it seems unrealistic to think that that would become more likely in the recent past. Although I haven't seen anything specific I wouldn't think that he would have taken a detailed look at any business that was making money either.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Rupert Murdoch is giving Rebekah Brooks one? Or is it the other way round. I honestly can't see how this woman has still managed to keep her job.
You do trust me, don't you? IF EVERY nation gets the leaders it deserves, what in God's name have we done to deserve Francis Urquhart?
When the paper was shut down, didn't everyone lose their jobs?

Everyone who worked at the level of the paper, she works one level up, so it was under her aegis, but not her whole job. At least, that's how I read it.

ditto, the whole lot of them should be signing up for welfare - I think he's in damage control, hoping the authorities dont probe any further - to beleive that he doesnt know what goes on in his own operations is a big stretch

I certainly hope that wouldn't be the case. Assuming they haven't p*ssed away their hordes of money that's probably not trickling down, they probably don't even need to work, save the drive of greed. I mean, why does Murdoch keep buying up all these other media companies? Because he thinks he can make them better news outlets? Doubtful - he owns Fox "News" afterall.

no, I didnt mean 'the common worker', I meant the mgmt levels - the accountability and loss of work should flow uphill - but like sh*t, guess which way it goes (rhetorical) 'g'

Obviously :), given I said "hordes of money" which we all know the worker doesn't make. :mad:

Now their's a woman who knows where the bodies are buriedAnd who will suffer a case of selected amnesia when required. :mad: I mean, can she really be objective into looking for wrong-doing when she was in charge? That's like asking Gordon Brown to lead an investigation into why the banks went bust on his watch; it just ain't going to happen objectively.

Rebekah Wade[^] was in charge of the NotW, Rebekah Brooks[^] will be investigating. As The Now Show[^] said " a completely differenet name, so that is OK then, and nobody knows Rebekah Wade like Rebekah Brookes" :)

Murdoch is famously loyal to those who are loyal to him. It is more likely to be that than the (probably actionable, and we know he has a lot of lawyers) suggestion that he is having an extra-marital affair...

That's what I thought about Bill Clinton. Then I saw pics of Monica. I would think that the supposed "Leader of the Free World" could do a bit better... On second thought, it is a step up from what he married. X|

Does no-one else think she just might know where all the bodies are buried and he's just vicariously protecting his son and himself?

Why not? If a cashier is stealing money from the cash register then would you claim that the manager of that store should not investigate? And if the cashier is guilty of theft does that make the manager guilty of theft as well?

Yes, most definitely if the manager had asked or knew that the cashier was stealing money and did nothing about it.
