How stupid do you have to be to talk about your felonies and knowledge of others on a news show, while waiting to be arrested?


Well, the way it all began with him openly bragging to Hugh Grant about phone tapping seemed bizarre to me at first. But as smarmy and unscrupulous as he seems, I think he felt guilty about what he did and what he witnessed at the paper every day. That's why he came clean, that's also why he seems desperate to get some approval or sympathy now. This is a man who is constantly trying to reassure himself that what he did wasn't so bad, that usually belies some nagging guilt.

this is an issue in its own right... im more concerned that putting someone on ignore means you still receive quote notifications with that persons text in ones email. fix?

Meanwhile, untold tragedies occur in Liberia where no stories reach the media. How dare you enjoy first world justice!

Notice the pen he waves at the beginning of the clip -- when Hugh Grant wiretapped him, he used a pen taperecorder. This guy is sly and he clearly is seriously pissed at Grant.

If nothing else, watch the last three minutes of Part 2 so you can fully appreciate the look on the interviewer's face at the end. I dare say he was gobsmacked at how that interview went.

Breaking News: The News of the World newspaper is being shut down. Last issue this weekend. The UK's biggest newspaper, having run for 168 years, being shut down over this scandal.

The Murdochs are worried by how far this one is backfiring on them. So they'll 'close' the paper mostly staffed by people who weren't there when all this hacking happened. They'll reassign the writers (not journalists) which they want to keep elsewhere, and probably expand another of their titles to fill the gap.

Complete PR exercise.

+1200 Respect points for Hugh Grant.

Hugh's last remark is a brilliant show of how to "damn with faint praise".

You have to respect the 'journalist' for the way he reacted to the first part - Hugh's role reversal - whilst despising him for his attitude and lack of humanity.

hmmm...new found respect for someone most typically relegated to shitty-romance-actor-status.

love how the "journalist" slammed hugh's recording attempt. guess the pro's really know how to do it.
