I thought we all knew the Mail/Dacre were getting a section 13 notice?

I'm hearing rumors that Leveson will publish Monday. Anyone heard anything similar?

Could be wrong but I think Murdoch trying to lesson impact on his companies should things go tits up (looks likely)

He's going to be consecrating the bubbling tarpit that Rupert Murdoch crawled out of 80 years ago. I'd imagine the speech will begin with "in the name of the Holy Spirit..."

The ideal Christmas present, the Leveson Inquiry Report, only £250. Alternatively there's the Leveson Report Overview for the cheap price of £29.75. Fun for all the family.

Wait, seriously? He's coming to Adelaide? e: Oh right, you meant his birthplace (Melbourne). I thought that was a reference to his first paper; The Advertiser (yes, that is actually its name).

There'll be a PDF, HTML and (knowing TSO) an XML version published probably at the same time. That money is for the published bound copy. Hilariously you buy any committee report for pretty much the same amount. Doubt there is much of a demand for that though...

Yes, as far as I'm aware News Corp is fully away of the emails and recording, and no doubt their lawyers do to, some I'm a little surprised he's selling shares at this particular moment.

Well judging by the nature of this scandal and the historical behavior of his news properties, it's clear he thinks he can get away with anything.

Some really interesting insights and reporting in that. Especially about the peace process. I'd be interested to see if NI targeted anyone south of the border. I know that there was a big ruckus in 1999 when the Mirror hacked the mobile phone of the Irish Prime Minister at the time, Bertie Ahern, and revealed it to him in his office as part of an investigation into how badly the mobile company, Eircell, had treated the security on their network. Though I wonder how long that knowledge stayed private before they presented it. I would be very interested to know how deep that went.

I think it's amusing that: 1) the best scoop the ad could come up with that the Daily Mirror has ever broken is that Prezza was having an affair, and; 2) they've managed to back-handedly compliment The Guardian since this ad links them with Leveson criticism in people's minds, which I'm assuming they don't actually agree with.

How is that Mail headline not libel?  "Where would you be without sensationalist libel? Also the Guardian."

If the press was shackled, then the press wouldn't have discovered that the press was phone hacking? That seems a bit paradoxical to me...
