This, from Shakesville, is about the most complete summary I've seen, and it's worth a read.
This, more than anything else I've heard about recently (give or take David Duke being considered a serious GOP presidential candidate) shows how deeply immoral the corporate world is.
Hey, all you Christianist assholes, you want to know what's immoral? Gay's not immoral. The things you do for money are immoral.
Update:
Here's a rather dramatic turn, via BBC World News:
This Sunday's issue of the News of the World will be the last edition of the paper, News International chairman James Murdoch has said.
In the past few days, claims have been made that the paper authorised hacking into the mobile phones of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler and the families of 7/7 bombing victims.
Mr Murdoch said proceeds from the last edition would go to good causes.
Downing Street said it had no role or involvement in the decision.
The News of the World, which has been in circulation for 168 years, is the UK's biggest selling newspaper and is famed for its celebrity scoops.
No advertisements will run in this weekend's paper - instead any advertising space will be donated to charities and good causes.
I would like to be able to take this at face value. Given the history of Murdoch and his "news" organizations, I can't.
