God, those NoW journos were utter scum weren't they?

[headfairy]

apparently by deleting Milly's messages her family still had some hope that she might still be alive

Quite amusing tweet (unauthorised) from the Sun, now been pulled but a screengrab here:

lol at the thought that Rupert Fucking Murdoch is even slightly concerned about the CofE and Mumsnet. I don't believe that for a second.

but it still makes me giggle tho

Does he think it is all jam, Jerusalem and slow hand claps?

How odd that he mentions Mumsnet and the CoE (cripes I am a member of both) but leaves out Facebook and Twitter.

He's attacking MN because it's small and has less influence. If you want to create a bogeyman, it's no bloody good if half the population turns round and says, "Oi, that's me."

God knows why he's lashing out at the church tho.

They said on Radio 4 earlier that if CofE pulled out it could actually be quite damaging. Although nothing compared to the damage us yummy mummies could do obv......

he DIDNT mention Mumsnet or the church .....the Guardian did.

Oh, that makes sense now then Nancy and isn't so surreal after all.

Murdoch is understood to be deeply concerned that the campaign against his company led by the Mumsnet website and the Church of England could damage other titles.......

Do you think the someone at the Guardian hacked a Murdoch phone to hear a message relating to what has gone on ?

"Er, yeah, James, Son, this is Dad. Find out what in the world this 'mums-in-hair-nets' is will ya, before the assholes ruin everything I have worked for".

I don't think for a minute any of the Murdoch's have a clue what mumsnet is. Or they didn't, anyway !

Nancy - you are obv a experienced Fleet Streeter - What did he say then ??

I just watched the NOTW staff leave after the last edition went to press. Here

I don't know because I wasn't there ....

I just know how to read between the lines of a news report - and RM isn't being quoted - so the MN reference is just (very daft) conjecture from the Guardian journalist

So it's the guardian saying RM is concerned by Mumsnet campaign etc.

If I was cynical I'd think it was just plugging.

Of course it's daft, I'm just surprised the Guardian would be so daft in the midst of all this.

I can see the Sunday Sun's 1st headline.

GUARDIAN HACKED INTO MURDOCH PHONE SHOCKER

I expect due to the distress caused, the Murdoch's will after all be awarded the remaining % of BSkyB.

Ha ha they haven't said SORRY

Why daft? Overstating its role helps boosting mumsnet's profile which is good for selling advertising space.

They wouldn't need to would they ?

How many posts is this thread going to take? Will it go on until closed down by Mr Murdoch himself?

Oh fgs, the paper review on News 24 at the mo, the blokes are being all kind about the NOTW and how marvellous it was. "Great investigative journalism" (as they focus on the Frank Bough front page). boak.

"It wasn't us. It wasn't us!" That's what the SS guards at Belsen said when the liberating armies rolled in...

I'm really late to this thread because I've been following this story so avidly on the BBC and the Guardian. It's so unlikely that RM is concerned by the CofE and mumsnet - not typical Sun/NoW readers are they? Still, Justine gave a good interview on newsnight.

The last 2 days have been good for one thing anyway- seems that not everything bad in the UK is public sector worker's fault.
