Appropriate journalistic disgust, from a paper that leans as far right as it can itself.

All of Murdoch's political travesties that parade as "news" should be boycotted. until they are divested to ethical ownership that is overseen by anti-monopoly laws.

Thursday’s big news that Murdoch was shutting down News of the World does not clean the slate. Public trust of an organization is not like a little etch-a-sketch toy: shake it upside down and clear the screen. These are not trustworthy people and their employees should not be called journalists.
