New thread to continue from God those NoW journos were utter scum weren't they?

I think that I asked this on the other thread, but does anyone have any proof that the 9/11 phones were hacked?

I wonder if they ever hacked Clare Short - just reading about her treatment in 2003 at the hands of RB due to her raising a bill about banning page 3.

Really vile, open bullying. Interesting point on privilege:

"It was suggested to me after The Sun's 2003 campaign by a Westminster journalist of long experience that The Sun's attacks should be seen as an issue of privilege; an attempt to bully and intimidate an MP to prevent them from raising issues in the House. The Clerk of the House, whom I consulted, agreed there was an issue to raise; however, the Speaker did not agree and I did not take it further."

I feel like I have been living in an alternate universe, and woke up a few days in the real one!

I think that I asked this on the other thread, but does anyone have any proof that the 9/11 phones were hacked?

AFAIK they've only just started looking, haven't they?

didn't French and Saunders do a sketch about two women knitting as they sat and watched beheadings at the guillotine? Can't for the life of me find it on you tube. Boohoo!

If this spreads to 9/11 victims (and I can't think why not, just about every major news story from the past 15 years will be affected by this scandal) then it'll be BIIIIG news across the pond.

Aha found the knitting circle: NI have hired Edelman PR to track twitter and facebook: Already, BlogLevel and TweetLevel have been beta-tested by more than 400 people (including university professors, industry analysts, marketing professionals, journalists and brand marketers), who have used the tools to track:the most relevant and influential users on various topics
the amount of buzz and noise around a specific area
the dialogues people are having and the links they?re sharing
what any given tweeter or blogger is discussing, influencing and being influenced by

Aaaahhhhhhh

very good!!!!

Learn something every day!

Is now the time for MN to have another go at the Page 3 issue?

Grimma, I think it was first suggested in an Australian newspaper but now the FBI are investigating.

Pannus, didn't understand that, but I guess it will become clearer. Has anyone from NotW spilt any beans?

Good article re Claire Short. I always liked her and supported her in that Bill however badly it was presented. Page 3 is a blight on society.

If you read Alastair Cambell's diaries, it is clear that he has contempt for her and to hime she was a pain in the arse but also that she was a force to be reckoned with.

Which surely, is what you would want from your elected MP?

Sorry News International have decided they need to do something about their PR! So today they hired Edelmans (huge PR company) I think one of the things they do is track Twitter, Blogs and Facebook. Knowing NI they'll be using it to shut stuff down. Funny if you think they already have some of London's biggest PRs in their pockets anyway: Freud pr; Phi Hall; Outside pr (where today's arrestee Neil Wallis works) tum tee tum x

click clack.

Secure your routers

I wish I knew how to secure my bleeding router - is that when it's not open to the street kind-of-thing??

headfairy Was it a series? Let them Eat Cake was a French and Saunders series about two aristocrats during the French Revolution.

quite possibly bornsticky and in my fevered brain it became merged with until it became some freakish hybrid

Michael Wolff just posted:
NYPost editors to staff: "We have to be on our P's and Q's and not engage in any kind of obvious, unethical journalistic things." RM owns NY Post and Wall St Journal.

Just watched that panorama thingy they send an email and it downloads a trojan. Then they have access to your computer. It can then hang around and remove itself after a set period eg. 3months.
It's hard to believe they would still dare to do things like that though and it would rather prove the case it was widespread.
I think if they turn legally on social media people...the ordinary public, they won't believe the wrath the public will unleash. It will finish Newscorp itself - guaranteed.

Does he own the New York Post, then, and that was why I mistakenly thought that he owned he New York Times.

This is from the Wall Street Journal, I think. If even the office cat knew that the tabloid press used phone-hacking, how could Rebekah not have known?

'Among journalists, the fact that the tabloid press used illegal methods like phone-hacking to round out its sensationalist stories was hardly a secret. ?Everyone knew. The office cat knew,? was how one News of the World reporter put it to TheNew York Times. Yet the top management stayed remarkably anxiety-free, seemingly convinced of their immunity to investigation and legal process. Rebekah Brooks, the chief executive of News International, once bragged to the press about how the investigation would end: with the editor of TheGuardian, the paper that had pursued this story like an exocet, ?on his knees, begging for mercy?. That?s more than aggressive self-confidence. It?s a delusive sense of invulnerability. It?s the arrogance of unchecked power. '

Just marking my place.

By some freakish coincidence, I happen to be re-reading 'A Tale of Two Cities' at the moment.

'Tis not looking good for Monseigneur.

OK, hard to do when I don't know your router, but you can look up the default username and password for the make on the internet

Then, in the task bar, type 192.168.1.1

Usually, the default username and password are 'admin' or 'administrator'

If not, check the user manual or the provider if they gave you it

All being well...you should be now be the router settings,

then, you have to find the passsword menu bit and change it. And record it . Also, have a fish about for other settings which are open. If in doubt, change one thing at a time, and if you are havng problems, then go back and change the last thing you did.

Be precise with your password and write it down, very easy to forget

If you do forget, there is a reset button on your router but it will wipe all the router settings, so you need to take a note of these before you ever have to do this, but you can get them from your internet provider. PM me if you have prob. HTH

edelman.co.uk/2011/07/edelman-launches-bloglevel-and-tweetlevel-tools-for-navigating-influence/
Edelman, the world?s leading PR firm, today launched BlogLevel and version 2.0 of TweetLevel, free tools that allow communicators to identify who is influential on a particular topic, on a designated platform. TweetLevel finds the influentials on Twitter, and BlogLevel does the same in the blogosphere. They making out it's all very much to sell your product - sounds sinister to me......

RM's biggest error was he hated the internet as he couldn't see how to make money out of it. Too late he's realised its power - if he had had his hands on the web earlier - we wouldn't be clacking on here!

well yes!

His paywalls just sent people scurrying off to other newspapers.

He's not a stupid man; I'm sure he's found an agle in all of this.
