The interview with the editor was a fun watch, especially when Grant whips out that ludicrous scare ad and points out how wobbly the headlines were. Hope there's a followup of sorts.

First Super sells off it's stake in News Corp.

"Institutional shareholders put those proposals at the last shareholders meeting. They were rejected by the management. As a consequence our fund has made a decision to disinvest because they [News Corp] don't meet our standards of good corporate governance."

Pretty sure I saw it used in one of the early episodes of Jonathan Creek.
Yup, in the first episode. Maddie, a journalist, brute forces her way into someone's answering machine by systematically trying number combinations. It's strongly alluded that this is pretty common knowledge in her trade.

Either that, or citizen journalism is reduced to TV news channels asking their viewers to send in pictures of bad weather.
Or here in Australia where there's the ABC Open scheme that trains people in remote towns to act as volunteer camera operators should something go down and they can't whisk someone out fast enough.

It's in the public interest to find out if the police were sent to the tower for pinching her Maj's royale savories!

How do you claim you weren't attempting to pervert the course of justice when you hid evidence from investigators?
Claim the raid ruined your six month old daughter's life.
