Conservative, Media Rupert Murdoch Newspaper Hacked Dead Girl's Phone, Interfered In Investigation
From the same people who bring you the Fox News Channel, and use the same ethical reasoning:
The News of the World illegally targeted the missing schoolgirl Milly Dowler and her family in March 2002, interfering with police inquiries into her disappearance, an investigation by the Guardian has established.
Scotland Yard is investigating the episode, which is likely to put new pressure on the then editor of the paper, Rebekah Brooks, now Rupert Murdoch’s chief executive in the UK; and the then deputy editor, Andy Coulson, who resigned in January as the prime minister’s media adviser.
The Dowlers’ family lawyer, Mark Lewis, this afternoon issued a statement describing the News of the World’s activities as “heinous” and “despicable”. He said this afternoon the Dowler family was now pursuing a damages claim against the News of the World.
Milly Dowler disappeared at the age of 13 on her way home in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, on 21 March 2002.
News Corp has no shame, but would the people who employed this jackal for years do otherwise?

I’d like to say I am shocked, but that would be a bald faced lie.
This is so completely beyond the pale.
And this is who they are.
I hope the government presses so many criminal charges that the company can no longer operate, and that the family sues them out of existence.
Does Media Matters still have it’s tax exempt status?
I was wondering.
Look! Over There!
It doesn’t matter anyway, someone on MSNBC said something bad about a Republican once so it’s the same thing.

The only way they lose their tax exempt status is if Fox News can prove they, Fox News, are working for the GOP.

Yes, as does Brent Bozell’s conservative Media Research Center.
Does that bother you too, or are you just acting like a blissfully ignorant partisan hack who couldn’t give two shits about parity?
I was wondering.
If he lived here, the Cons would vote him into office. they really don’t care about the law unless some Democrat anywhere at any point in time committed a crime
LOL.
Love the reactions.
Just wondering that if Media Matters stated goal is to expose CONSERVATIVE minsinformation, that maybe it could be considered, oh call me crazy, a partisan organization, and shouldn’t have that status. Also….the same standard would apply to Brent Bozell.
Consistency.

What, was their “About” link too difficult to find?
And their donation FAQ:
So Bozo’s folks have been enjoying that same, evil, tax-exempt status for, oh, going on 24 years now.
Frankly, I don’t give a flying fuck if they both have it, or if they both lose it, but it’s just slightly dishonest for conservatives to pull out the fainting couch and build talking points around this as some brand-new, flagrant abuse of the system invented by liberals- and not just the same shit that their side’s been doing for waaaaaaaay longer.
Murdoch is on the ropes right now and Fox Spews is going on overdrive attacking Media Matters.
It’s their version of ‘Look Over There!’

Wingnuts ALWAYS do this shit. Always. They act the bully for so long and they get used to it, but the moment they feel a little heat back in their own direction they start screaming bloody murder, foul, no fair, waaaaaaaa!
Also….the same standard would apply to Brent Bozell.
Somebody didn’t do their homework. Nice job, Awk!

It’s only partisan if it is attacking or supporting a political party. If it sticks to attacking a pretend news organization, it is fine. It would only lose its status if Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and the rest could show they were working officially with the GOP.
moonbat, why are you not the least bit concerned about a “news organization” hacking phones. Like I said to MGG, it’s awfully telling that you guys get your panties in a twist about MMfA for exposing the horrible things News Corp has done, and not for any wrongdoing (real or otherwise) that MMfA has done.
LONDON — News of the World, the Rupert Murdoch-controlled weekly tabloid that is at center of a widening phone-hacking scandal, will publish its final edition Sunday, Murdoch’s son James announced Thursday.
