Print news is dying because of the internet; this isn't news.

But we're talking about the most fundamental questions of journalistic ethics here.

The Murdoch media -- in particular the News Of The World -- hacked people's phones (including a missing teenager's phone, deleting voicemails and giving her family and the police false evidence she was alive), spied on people, and colluded with a series of corrupt police. And on really an epic scale.

The News Of The World was little more than a criminal enterprise, and essentially everyone in News International leadership knew it.

Even the (utterly loathsome, morally corrosive) Daily Mail is a beacon of truth by comparison.
