thehustler posted:It's annoying because I like Cohen sometimes and his book is great but on this I couldn't disagree with him more. He goes on about the illegal side and how the police should have acted and the law used. Which is fine. But then he forgets that Leveson was also about morals and ethics as well, which clearly does need changing. You're not mixing him up with Nick Davies are you? I keep doing that and I don't know why TheHoodedClaw posted:The [...] Express [...] is just awful.

I believe the first utterance of CoulsonXBrooks was one evening in IRC during the Leveson inquiry by Pickled Tink. I was busy typing away a slashfic of the Right Hon. Raisa MEP (I only vote Neigh) and David Cameron and Tink suggested it as what if....

Captain_Maclaine posted:That's the one that caught my attention to. I mean seriously, they need to qualify "suspects?" Like there's actual doubt that the state at least suspects them of being involved? Weak spin attempt, Daily Heil, weak. They're using suspects in the possessive if I'm not mistaken, not as a qualifier.

Josef bugman posted:Wait, has the mails circulation been dropping? Oh please tell me that it has! Are British papers subject to the same forces that are killing off US papers, or do British papers (maybe due to Britain's relatively small size?) have a substantially greater cultural cachet which serves to increase their viability? As an American observer I get the impression that it's something along the lines of the latter. I'm really fascinated by this whole saga, but from across the pond it's strange to think that a) people still read newspapers, and b) they have as much influence as they appear to have.

I didn't know that. I've never bought the paper so assumed they were largely the same. Makes sense I suppose though that the site is a load of horrible click bait but the paper stays the same for the people who've always bought it and would never use the site

Quote-Unquote posted:The Daily Mail Online is thinly-veiled child pornography marketed towards Nazis. We go over this regularly in the UK Megathread. Mail Online routinely runs articles lauding crackdowns on kiddy porn and paedos at the BBC while their sidebar is full of photos of teenage celebrities with headlines such as "Chloe Moretz looks all grown up". And yes, they do mostly say "all grown up".

As someone just noted, there's 7 charges, and they've only just finished detailing the 1st charge. This could take a couple of weeks at this rate.

Little_wh0re posted:Is this verbatim or did you drop a bunch of words somewhere? It was a tweet. Here's a clarifying one from Martin Evans: 'During investigations into a story involving Calum Best, Andy Coulson sent Ian Edmondson an email which read: "Do his phone."' Another interesting titbit: Dominic Casciani @BBCDomC "Police found 15 royal-related directories at Clive Goodman's home. Two of the 15 were the results of payments to police, say prosecution." "One of the 15 directories had an officer's fingerprint on it, says Andrew Edis. No suggestion that specific one was sold to the NOTW." That's some Hollywood stuff right there.

There are different versions of the email evidence on this, says prosecution, but most important are emails disclosed by News International. Those emails, says prosecution, show Andy Coulson knew of the role Mulcaire played in getting stories on the princes at Sandhurst." Whoops.

Keep in mind that as David Allen Green points out, the defendants all knew this was coming and still chose to plead not-guilty. Prosecution cases always look strong when they open, it'll be interesting to see what case they run.

HTJ posted:The opening is a summary of the allegations and the key bits of evidence; after this they will go into the evidence in mind numbing detail. Well, strictly speaking next comes the defence's opening statements - they'll almost certainly be shorter and pretty much boil down to reminding the jury about burden of proof and other general stuff rather than directly trying to rebut the prosecution opening statement. They'll save their best shots for the end of the trial, hoping to influence the summing-up and jury deliberations by getting the last word. notaspy posted:I loving love mind numbing detail. Can I just rock up to the court and get a seat (in a few weeks when all the interest boils off)? Theoretically yes, but you'll have to get there well early to stand a chance.
