It’s what people called for, but was it done for the right reasons? Probably not. Was it done to punish those who have been using underhand and immoral reporting methods? Probably not. Was it done to try and take the scent of the independent enquiry away? I think so!

Will it work? I hope not…

I feel sorry for the 200 (mostly) innocent journalists that now find themselves out of work (you should join huffpo!). After all the people (person) who is ultimately responsible is still in her job. I hear that Brooks has tried to resign twice, but Murdoch has refused it…what a fool. The public want the ones responsible punished, not just those in the general area.

I have never been a huge fan of the NUJ, but I truly hope that they nail Murdoch to the wall over this one.
