Tapped

It’s been a while. I’ve been so busy dealing with cretins I haven’t had time to rant. I need to get back into the swing of things. Maybe I should be topical and complain about the startling revelation that the...oh...what’s the word? Hacks? Shysters? No, editors, that’s it. The startling revelation that editors and ‘journalists’ from Murdoch’s red top brigade are unscrupulous liars, criminals and are generally twats. Well this is a surprise. What a shock, how on earth can it be so?

The fact that this is the big news story (not in The Sun, obviously) is of course justified. This is a big news story. It isn’t, however, a big surprise. I see this merely as proof of what I’ve always suspected. And as the non-Murdoch controlled press exclaim dismay at how anyone in their profession could be as callous as to sink to such low levels in order to generate sales of their respective rags, I can’t help but see this sort of behaviour as being part of the natural progression we should all expect from a society geared towards rewarding those whose actions we abhor.

The perfect example is disgraced, sacked former editor of the Daily Mirror Piers Morgan, or as he is known these days, celebrity judge of Britain’s Got Talent Piers Morgan. This man was responsible for the publication of fake photographs of members of the British armed forces supposedly torturing and humiliating Iraqi prisoners. Obviously the situation in Iraq was fucked up enough due to the ongoing illegal Bush/Blair oil war without this dick-faced cunt stirring up further animosity towards the British troops stationed there.

And what is the punishment for this odious reprobate? The answer is a lucrative television career. He even has his own show where he interviews the likes of Jim Davidson and Jordon. I realise that many of us would consider spending time in the same room as these people as punishment, but I’m pretty sure Piers enjoys the company of his ignorant ilk, and I’m positive that he welcomes the massive pay rise he has achieved since his sacking as editor.

So why wouldn’t the Murdoch clan happily tap people’s phones and pay for illegally obtained information and indeed completely fabricate stories from thin air in order to boost their sales to the mindless masses who read this trash? They clearly have no moral objection to carrying out these actions, we’ve all known that for a very long time, and the only repercussions they are likely to suffer appear to be an increase in wealth and being forced to listen to a racist homophobe and a tedious bimbo who looks like a novelty buoyancy aid.
