NEWS OF THE WORLD The paper that invaded YOUR WORLD!

The News of the World is NO MORE!!!!!! its a shame really, it was an excellent read on a Sunday.

 Breaking news story after breaking news story! Turns out it was at the expense of EVERYONE'S privacy. No one has escaped the phone hacking scandal that has hogged headlines all of the country and even the world! 

When it comes to the dealings at News of the World I share the same sentiment as everyone else(outrage!!!). However, I am not just going to sit here and talk about how morally incorrect the organisation is, how horrible and underhand the Murdoch family are, or even how wrong it was that the whole paper shut down resulting in many innocent people being made redundant. I believe that there is a sub story here that has been completely overlooked.

Were the NEWS OF THE WORLD simply doing what WE, THE PUBLIC WANTED!!???


The BLOOD THIRSTY PUBLIC simply being given BLOOD TO DRINK!?

I know, I know it seems outrageous BUT!  lets really think about it.

Long gone are the days where the quality of the writing was what sold a newspaper. Long gone are the days when people bought newspapers in order to read articles written by their favourite writers. Nowadays, newspapers are sold based on:

1) What exclusive insight into a celebrities private life is splashed all over the front cover.
2) What guest celebrity writer is writing a mini biography about their battle through drugs/alcoholism, divorce or pregnancy

This is what we want! and recently NOTW has prided itself on delivering this in abundance. Thinking about it, how didn't anyone realise what was going on. Every other story was "oh this person left this message on this persons phone" or this "this person sent this e-mail or text message." why didn't we ever ask, "HOW DO YOU BLOODY KNOW?" The truth is that we did not care! we were being given what we wanted!


Lets not forget that this story has been going on for a very long time. We have known about the celebrity hacking for a while. All we herd was, "enquiry this", "enquiry that" but the paper was still printing these stories and nothing was really being done. We must remember that public power is unstoppable. There is nothing that cannot be achieved if the masses really want it! we were happy for the paper to continue doing what it was doing as long as it only celebrities that were being hacked. 


LETS THINK ABOUT THE TURNING POINT OF THIS STORY!


It was only when it was discovered that ordinary people were being hacked that there was real public outrage. Victims of the phone hacking included murdered schoolgirl Millie Dowler, relatives of deceased British soldiers, and victims of the 7/7 Bombings.  Only after these revelations did we decide that heads needed to roll and something had to be done! It suddenly dawned on us that hacking was wrong! WHAT ABOUT WHEN CELEBRITIES WERE BEING HACKED! is it not wrong that we didn't care! Its that stupid "hating" attitude that we have in Britain! "They deserve it, they live their life in the public eye." NOOOOOO!! since when did being rich and famous rob you of your human rights. 


I believe that the News of the World was a victim of the public's blood thirsty desire for unauthorised access into the private lives of the rich and famous. They believed that what they were doing was what the public wanted and completely forgot about the illegality of it. Either that, or they just didn't care or  perhaps thought that they would not be caught.. 


WE THE PUBLIC SHOULD ALSO REVIEW OUR INPUT INTO THIS SCANDAL AND STOP BEING A NATION OF HATERS!
