Back to your usual stock-in-trade argument when you can't find anything relevant to say?
Please explain how anything that's been said against Murdoch in this thread, even comes close to a display of envy?

Apparently Murdoch didn't think too much about the "violent criminal offence" either, he didn't support the assault charge but good to see your knack of sensationalism hasn't abandoned you

A violent criminal offence!

So you think hacking phones of dead schoolchildren is ok then?

Personally, I think the bloke who did that was a bloody self-promotional idiot. It deflected attention from Murdoch and even gained him some sympathy on the grounds of his age.
But the idea that Murdoch is some sort of okay geezer or that, if you do not specifically buy his products he doesn't affect you is ... Well, words fail me.

I wish all this 'hacking' stuff would go away. It's not hacking at all. Every mobile phone network has a voicemail service that be accessed using nothing but the phone number. We used to do it all the at University 10 years ago. The aim was to change the greeting to something comedic, but we could have listened to the messages. They've not been hacked by some super -tech criminal like the media make it out to be.
The pressure over the 'hacking' stuff should have gone on the networks in equal measures to that the press received. And on the 'dead schoolgirl' incident, I don't believe for one second that the police couldn't have found out which number did the deleting of the messages, if they'd bothered to ask.

It's easy to break into some houses too, doesn't mean you should do it. I don't think anyone has made out it to be a super-tech crime. It's been made out to be what it is, a massive invasion of privacy by some irresponsible, gutless, hyprocritical t0sspots. The press' reaction to being investigated by the police and the Leveson Inquiry shows you all you need to know about vast swathes of that industry.

Why? It was the press doing the hacking not the tv or radio networks.

It's a criminal offence. It was ignored by the police, it should not "go away".
You have also just admitted to regularly breaking the law.
