Is News Corp Going down?

Personally, I find the term "hacked" to be a stretch in this case. The definition I see is:

7. (Electronics & Computer Science / Computer Science) to manipulate a computer program skilfully, esp, to gain unauthorized access to another computer system

This is voice mail and not a traditional computer system per se. Who the heck uses voice mail today anyway?

Having said that, I cannot defend anyone who performed this act, especially if it hindered a police investigation. The people responsible should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If the higher ups authorized this action before it was done, they should be prosecuted as well. If the higher ups found out after the fact, they should only be prosecuted if involved in a cover-up.

You do realize there wouldn’t be a country for you conservatives to mess up if It weren’t for the Liberals. I hate to break it to you our founding fathers were liberal. The American revolution was a revolution by leftists. The conservatives back then were spouting out the greatness of King George and the mercantile system.

Besides, would Rupert know the IP address where the server was that stored the messages? Oh I forgot, Rupert knows everything..

do you think your voicemail is recording on tape? Verizon has billions of mini cassettes for all our voicemail. It's a computer system, you access it without authority, you've hacked it. They weren't calling phones and guessing a four digit pin, they were using computers to break security of other computers. Quit trying to rationalize despicable actions just because your ideological peers committed them. Billionaire media tycoons who have no scruples don't need you carrying water for them.

Judas did get a fair price, so all's fair after all.

Again the 20 year old that guessed the answers to Sarah Palin's security questions at Yahoo mail was given a one year in the Federal Pen and three years of supervised release. His act didn't meet your definition of hacking in that sense either. He only hacked one account not hundreds or 1000s and he didn't bribe anyone.

Anyway for those of you not familiar of how they worked this: they would bribe police officers and government officials to obtain the cell phone numbers of: celebrities, members of the royal family, government officials, medical doctors, crime victims and so on. Then they would dial the number and repeatedly try the default passwords that the device manufacturer issued until they got the right one. They would retrieve the voice mails on the device. They would use this in a variety of ways for instance if a high ranking government official got a voice mail from a Doctor's office reminding them of their son's Doctor appointment they looked the Doctor up to see what kind of conditions he treated, and then they reported an exclusive about the medical condition of the government official’s son.

esteskefauver thinks it's the liberals.

chefantwon thinks it's specifically Obama.

Did you freaked out wing nuts even read the article? It's about Rupert and British law enforcement , just glance at it, you'll see. Nothing to do with liberals or Obama. How the hell do you guys dress yourselves.

This is how newscorp and specifically foxnews gets away with everything though. Useful idiots will start screaming about how it's the liberals who are at fault. President Obama not interviewing with fox often enough will be the real story. Nevermind that he's interviewed with all the major players over there, including a superbowl halftime interview with BillO. After that idiocy is proven false, they'll start in on Dan Rather's use of forged documents, or complain about Keith Olbermann and that both are either worse or comparable to this. Everyone is bad, so disregard our blatantly evil actions. It'll be about anything but the fact that newscorp has acted in a horrendously criminal manner. These people are ghouls; bribes, blackmail, and espionage are not enough to prevent fat, stupid, angry white people from defending fox.

Plus, kefauver was a real person who shit all over Vegas, so this poster wants to emulate him and shit all over this message board. Search for any post this guy has ever made. Everyone of them is pants shittingly retarded

BINGO! Its amusing how the so called "conservatives" get all pissy when one of their major sources for political insight gets busted for breaking the law and exposed for being the d-bags they really are.

Oh my God! An unscrupulous media company. That's unheard of. I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore.

Toomanystupidposts,

All corporate criminals are not republicans. For starters there is Edwin Edwards, Martha Stewart, and Bernie Madoff. Certainly there are many more, but I suspect that corporate criminals are split about evenly between Democrats and Republicans. Violent criminals, on the other hand, are overwhelmingly Democrats, probably more than 90%. I, for one, prefer the criminal that steals my money instead of my life.

Another brainwashed moronic Obama Zombie.
Who do you think your hero is raising the BILLION plus dollars for his campaign from? Schoolteachers, college kids and welfare queens?
Nope it's from the "millionaires and billionaires" in Wall Street, entertainment, banking, law, media, industry, etc. From the Asian, Arab, Russian and Brazilian globalists he is selling the country out to.
