Well.... damn
News of the World, the paper that is linked to illegally 'eavesdropping' on the phones of not only politicians and celebrities, but at least one murder victim AND U.K. troops who were killed in action, is going to shut down.
Sunday's issue will be the last. Mind you, the same folks what own/run the paper (Rupert Murdoch/News Corp) think that (a) this scandal "sullied" the good name of the paper, and (b) it was wrong to pay out-of-court settlements to some of the victims. (You know, I really hope that I'm reading that part wrong.)
Mind you, News Corp is still, in the wake of this, trying to buy British Sky Broadcasting Corporation, so it's not like they're little one little scandal try to affect business.
