Wish people would stop refering to this as "shocking," especially other newspaper; as if they've never done the same thing.

They deleted voicemails off Milly Dowler's phone to make space for new ones. This led to her parents thinking she was still alive. It might have interferred with the police investigation.

FP I can't do that give proof, I just dont believe other news sources are as scrupulous as they're implying by criticising the notw. I think some of them are just using this as an oppurtunity to damage the reputation of a competitor. Not that I condone notw at all.

The Times is currently under investigation, I think they have links to dodgy PIs but I'm not sure of specific complaints of phone "hacking"

^^THIS is shocking, and i'm not easily shocked. That is some unbelievably low-life behavior, imo.
SCUMbag maneuvers.
*Edit* - John Snow is havin' up some News International lackey (Simon Greenberg) on CH4 news, atm.
The former editor of the notw (editor at the time of this alleged scandal) is now heading the investigation into the scandal. Fucking lol!
