Nothing to do with the enormous amount of control Murdoch et al have over this country and the media output.

It would be interesting to know if phone tapping was used when investigating their latest scoop.

And I'd love to know the reasons why too, ignoring the obvious reason Murdochs papers don't cover it, why have so few others covered this. Are the Tory ones too loyal to throw sh*t at Coulson and the current govt. And more importantly why noting on the BBC, they really should be covering a story of this magnitude. After all this kind of action by NOTW is not some minor discrepancySteve Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092552783161885712.post-38990746862466843572010-09-02T16:43:49.887+01:002010-09-02T16:43:49.887+01:00Isn't there some kind of "unwritten rule&...Isn't there some kind of "unwritten rule" that papers don't criticise each other?mr_wonderfulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092552783161885712.post-48852067496618634792010-09-02T14:35:47.600+01:002010-09-02T14:35:47.600+01:00As Nick Davies put in in "Flat Earth News&quo...As Nick Davies put in in "Flat Earth News", dog doesn't eat dog.<br /><br />Hence the lack of coverage over the payout which resulted substantially from Andy Coulson's bullying.<br /><br />Whether the same applies Stateside may not to be the case.Tim Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00726447899972084146noreply@blogger.com
