Forums - General - NEWS OF THE WORLD closes down!

I'd rather see those involved in the hacking getting punished. Shutting down one crappy newspaper won't change anything as the people who read those "news" still exists and will move on to some other crappy newspaper.

I dont look down on anyone. Everyone has the ablility to think for themselves. Most of the people just dont use it because of the media and conditioning since birth

Good. Garbage scum newspaper


Whatever that means....

I think The Guardian and The Mirror and especially The Morning Star are scummy newspapers with a dangerous agenda....  I'd never wish them closed or be happy if they did.

I dont understand the intolerance of people these days, live and let live, allow people to choose....

Allow people to not be manipulated, and we know how many easily lead idiots we have in society, papers don't help pushing their agenders.


Is it just the NotW you hate or all newspapers/news outlets?

Well it makes sense as most people get their news from the internet.


Actually, they closed because it was revealed that they were part of a series of phone-hacking against many people; although in any other situation, I'd agree that the rise of the internet is probably going to result in the eventual decline of newspapers.


Wow corruption eh, should I buy surprised?

It's nice to hear some good news nowadays.

I'm sure the Sun can more than fill the gap of crappy newspapers that fill the minds of the public with sensationalist garbage with minimal relation to reality.


I hope you dont mind me saying this but..... WHAT POMPOUS NONSENSE!  Who the hell are you to tell people what they can and cant read...  The last guy that felt that way invaded Poland.

We want as many diverse and different papers of all types in circulation as possible.

God help us if we end up with just the Guardian and the Independent... we'd all vanish up our own arseholes of apologetic liberalism.

Listen to what the VAST majority of level headed journalists and other observers are and will be saying about this... they wont be anywhere near as judgemental as you and will rightly mourn the loss of a national institution of over 150 years.

ONLY Rebekah Brookes should have faced repurcussions.  Why have ordinary workers who werent even there when this was going on had to lose their jobs? 

 

A bit of maturity wouldnt go a miss here you know

He doesn't like New of the World, he must be a Nazi.



It is a shame in the sense that hundreds of innocent imployies will lose their job and at this time with jobs being hard to find I do sympathise, I do hope they find work somewhere else in the news industry, It's a shame they got taken down with the bad guys.
