Another kind of Hackgate is the one going on with Bloomberg, who've abused their Bloomberg terminal client data to find information for their articles:New York Post posted:In one instance, a Bloomberg reporter asked a Goldman executive if a partner at the bank had recently left the firm — noting casually that he hadn’t logged into his Bloomberg terminal in some time, sources added. New York Times posted:The news gathering technique appears more widespread than the Goldman incident, which was first reported by The New York Post. A preliminary analysis at Bloomberg revealed that “several hundred” reporters had used the technique, a person briefed on the analysis said. (Bloomberg employs more than 2,400 journalists worldwide. A spokesman declined to comment on the analysis and said no reporters had been fired.) BuzzFeed: Bloomberg Execs Knew Journalists Were Tracking Clients In 2011.

So does this that mean even multi-million/billion dollar companies also don't read the entire license agreement/terms and conditions, or was Bloomberg lying about what data was shared?

Rupert's Twitter posted:IRS story getting bigger every day. Maybe dominate ewes cycle for some time. Other biggie, Bloomberg reporters spying on financial clients!b I think he is really excited about this one, it is a great way to obfuscate outrage about his fuckery in the US.

Peter Jukes has put the chapter from his book on Daniel Morgan on this website, and Jack of Kent (David Allen Green), has put together a resource list. There's a lot of people very interested in making the most of the current Daniel Morgan coverage.

More movement under Elveden. This just came up on the Graun's breaking news tracker.quote:Sun Whitehall editor, HMRC press officer and partner to be charged under Operation Elveden. More details soon ... Wonder who on the Whitehall team got nicked?

Here's the statementquote:This statement is made in the interests of transparency and accountability to explain the decisions reached in respect of cases arising from Operation Elveden, which is the Metropolitan Police’s investigation into allegations involving the unlawful provision of information by public officials to journalists.

Was wondering where I heard that name before. Turns out she had a bullying complaint against the Sun's whitehall team upheld last year and was on the outs with them. Tom Watson has a piece about it on his website Tom Watson posted:This week, editor of the Sun Dominic Mohan, told the Leveson enquiry “it is wrong to suggest that the Sun trivialises offences against women.” That must have come as breaking news to some of the long-suffering employees at the beleaguered paper. The woman who allegedly was the person who brought in the Hutton Report scoop? That's a very, very interesting pick up.

If corruption, incompetence and abandoning his daughter down the pub can't get Cameron then an unmarried couple boinking under the same roof won't touch him. Worst that will happen to him is Boris Johnson sneaking into his bedroom in the middle of the night and whispering "It's my time now Dave..." while brushing his cheek with sweaty hands. Then again death is preferable to that.

Don't think the Daily Mail would put out a story that could damage the Tory party and fellow press scum without evidence. "Dinnae fire at yer own side unless you've got enough ammo to take em down."

Gonzo McFee posted:Don't think the Daily Mail would put out a story that could damage the Tory party and fellow press scum without evidence. I'm guessing they believe those two are down enough already and this way they get to implant the idea in people's heads that Cameron is shagging around, because that's the impression I got on first glance at that headline. (Also I wouldn't necessarily read too much into that headline because Staines is a poo poo-stirrer and likes to occasionally put red herrings in) Having said that... are either of them actually on trial right at this moment? Or anybody else? If this is information that has come out in an in camera session of a trial it would explain the "legal problems" they have with publishing it.

The alternative theory is it's Alex Cameron, David Cameron's brother, and head of a firm that represents Brooks.

Remember NDS UK Limited from WAY back? Briefly, they were a company who provided the decoder cards for Sky, and were part of News Corp. They set up a website for hackers for intelligence gathering purposes, but then started doing some very naughty things with the information, but nothing really came of it, that is, until now it seems. The annoyingly pay-walled Exaro news is reporting that the Met is now looking into their activities. Also, after two days of major appearances by every News Corp defendants team at Southwark court discussing various details of the case with the judge, Rebekah Brooks is reported to be planning to plead tomorrow. Legally I can't speculate on what they were discussing.

If it's sub judice then disclosing it is contempt of court, which will get you actual jail time rather than a slap on the wrist. (Not that it's stopped certain papers owned by certain Australians from reporting stuff so wildly that it's actually led trials to collapse because of the likelihood of the jury being biased by it...)

Well the police who were sentenced after pleading guilty still got pretty stiff sentences, so it would be notable if the papers didn't get the same level of punishment.

It would be an absolute travesty of justice if we sent down everyone except the people whose complete untouchability caused this issue in the first place. If they don't go down it is setting it up for this whole thing happening again in another decade and I for one would be loving livid. (Also I have a £50 bet with someone that Coulson and Brooks do at least a week's jailtime each. )
