Question: Why no stories on RWN about the News Corp./NOTW hacking scandal? — Vega – Sugar & Spice

Answer: We live in a world where newspapers publish classified documents that compromise America’s security without consequence. Compared to that, phone hacking is small potatoes. Certainly, that doesn’t excuse it. I hope anyone involved is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. But, the only reason it’s a story at all is because there’s a weak Rupert Murdoch tie-in and liberals hate him.
