I support Fox News and Murdoch. All the Brit newspapers do this hacking stuff

None of this is to excuse the behaviour of the hackers at the NoW and their enablers. But it’s an open secret that phone hacking is rife among British tabloids, and the Guardian and BBC axis have chosen to play down this fact in their single-minded pursuit of Murdoch and the NoW. Those other tabloids have been happy to play along, although with at least one and perhaps more public inquires on the way, they may yet regret helping to open this particular can of worms.
Few will mourn the passing of the NoW beyond its loyal band of sleaze-addicted readers. But at the same time, the manner in which a left-wing newspaper has been able to collude with the state-funded broadcaster to lead an attack an organization whose power and political alignment they resented should be deeply troubling.
I’m not so sure about this alleged Guardian/BBC axis. Of course they are reporting this - its big news after all - but I think your statement about them “regretting helping to open this particular can of worms” is in itself a very good reason why they would not push it. This investigation is going to run and run, and as you say, its unlikely to just indite NI at the end of the day.
