Murdoch Paper Knows No Shame - Death and Taxes







'News of the World' gives tabloids a bad name.



Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid 'News of the World' came under fire in 2002 for hacking into celebrity and royal voicemails.

While certainly despicable, their actions then were at least understandable: readers salivate over the lives and scandals of public figures, and the paper was trying to get as much dirt as possible, even if it meant breaking the law.

As officials dug deeper into the scandal, though, they found something much more disturbing: a private investigator hacked into a missing girl's voicemail and deleted messages to make room for more, leading the girl's family to think she was in fact alive.

That turned out not to be the case: 13-year old Milly Dowler had actually been kidnapped and murdered. Now the paper has to explain whether it knew about the P.I.'s underhanded tactics.

The paper's then-editor, Rebekah Brooks, denies knowing anything about the tapings, writing to her staff, "It is almost too horrific to believe that a professional journalist or even a freelance inquiry agent working on behalf of a member of the 'News of the World' staff could behave in this way."

As the 'New York Times' points out, though, Brooks either played willful ignorance or condoned the investigator's tricks.

One thing is for sure in all of this: Prime Minister David Cameron is furious, and called the security breach "a truly dreadful act." And that's putting it nicely.

August 23, 2011 DC Real Housewife Michaele Salahi Rents in Beverly Hills Zillow The Eagle Tribune Tue Aug 23, 2011, 05:45 PM EDT - Apparently Washington D.C. doesn't have enough star-power for Michaele and Tareq Salahi. The fame-driven couple just picked up a Beverly Hills rental house for $20,000 a month. The white Colonial looks remarkably similar to another white house they crashed in 2009. Although the Salahis first had their dose of fame on The Real Housewives of Washington D.C., they became a household name when they went to President Obama's first state dinner at the White House in November 2009 , apparently uninvited. Since then the two have still sought the spotlight with Michaele attempting to get on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and rumors of another reality TV show in the works. According to TMZ , the couple decided that relocating to Beverly Hills is a necessary move in their strategy to climb the celebrity ladder. Rather than spending a few million to buy a
