'News Of The World' Phone-Hacking Scandal

WTF

"Sean Hoare, the former News of the World showbusiness reporter who was the first named journalist to allege that Andy Coulson was aware of phone hacking by his staff, has been found dead."

Huh... that is odd

The death is currently being treated as unexplained but not thought to be suspicious

eh?

What kind of police investigation is that? I mean it's been a couple of hours, has the coroner done his work and published his verdict?

No third party involvement.

I was told suicide but thats unclear just now

LulzSec have taken down www.thesun.co.uk

Holy shi' it's all kicking off !!

Did you see the fake front page that got put on there reporting Rupert Murdoch's death ...

Or this, if that goes down:

brilliant, i hadn't seen the full article!!

A bunch of in-jokes there; top hat and monacle being the logo of LulzSec, and Topiary being one of their members, etc

thetimes.co.uk also seems down to me

Also "Sun/News of the world OWNED. We're sitting on their emails. Press release tomorrow."

I hope this bag that was found in the bin near Rebekkkkah Brooks house turns out to be something exciting but it probably wont. Paul Stephenson is being questioned at the moment but he sounds like a disappointingly honest and straightforward guy.

Watching the live coverage now. Rupert interupts his son at the start to say "This is the most humble day of my life".

WTF?

I'm just reading the Guardian live updates but they say Rupert is too old to understand what's going on and can't seem to answer anything

Q: When were you informed about the payments made to Gordon Taylor and Max Clifford?

No, says Murdoch.

lol
