Murdoch forces normal people to agree with the Guardian

the Daily Mash on NOTW phone-hacking

And with Britain at once both surprised and yet not surprised at all, attention has turned to how other national newspapers are reacting to the thing they would totally have done if their private investigators were not complete bloody amateurs...."Thank goodness the Daily Mail covered it by making the thing absolutely everyone is talking about the eighth story on the front page of their website, below the heart-stopping drama of a Royal canoe race and a couple of reassuringly familiar stories about foreign scroungers."

Edit to add:
- News of the World hacking - what you can do (Guardian)
- challenge Rupert Murdoch's bid to dominate our media (Avaaz)
- Tweet at NOTW advertisers

Normal people *do* agree with The Guardian!
But yes, the behaviour of the Murdoch press over this is just unspeakable.

If standard white middle class folk is some value of 'normal' ;)

(Worth noting that the Daily Mash is the satirical product of two former Scottish tabloid journos...)

Because you know who I am, of course.
(Mostly Welsh, from a family of agricultural workers and coal miners.)

No need to go on the defensive, tongue was very much in cheek there. But thanks for the plate of chips off your shoulder there o_O

Right, well. Tweeting the advertisers I use would be a nice plan. How about this:

@virginmedia -- if you don't stop advertising in the NOTW, I'm off to Sky... er... no... that doesn't work...
