Subject: RE: BS: Rupert Murdoch's Stalingrad
Let's just hope that we end up with a free press in the UK.
FREE FROM MURDOCH AND HIS MINIONS!!
We don't need to regulate the activities of investigative journalists, which would prevent the exposure of many a criminal activity (such as the phone hacking).
What we need is for journalists who do indulge in those kind of activities to be made aware that if there is no genuine public interest, they will be jailed upon conviction.
I'd rather like to see the Times return to the respected disseminator of genuine news it once was, and the way to do that is to increase the pressure on the government to remove Murdoch entirely from control of any UK Media, and never again allow foreign control of our news.
