Of course this is not healthy for sure. But it shouldn't be surprising anyone around here.

This does nothing more then confirm the suspicion of governments and media outlets working together in order to paint the required picture for the public, covering up the actual scenarios.

Cameron had a deal with Murdoch. The deal was that Cameron let the BskyB takeover by Newscorp go ahead in return for newspaper support in the 2010 election. Coulson and Brookes were the minders. Its not suprising that they met 26 times. Its called corruption and I suspect the same was going on when Tony Blair was PM.

Its a shame that nothing will come of this. The people of this country have no balls when it comes to corporate and government corruption. Sure, a few people will complain, Panorama will show a report, but ultimately whatever happens to the corrupt? Nothing. They just make scapegoats of people who they forced into their mess. Things continue just as they are, and evil parasites like David Cameron know this.

This is zionism interfering with your "democratic'' country British people. Doesn't seem like a democracy to me.

With so much hacking and surveillance going on, who knows how many of our political class have been compromised and have little secrets that Murdoch and his cronies know about, and can threaten to make public if those politicians don't play ball? It's by no means outside the realms of possibility.
We have a situation where the highest levels of government are so close to the criminality, including senior police figures, that we must assume that most major players, from all 3 main parties are complicit in some way and knew what was going on, yet did nothing to stop it. As such, is it not reasonable to expect the desire of the public to see a house clearing and a new government formed to exclude the old guard?

I have said for years that the "News Entertainment" corporations are so powerful as to be able to create and make the news rather than merely reporting it. This power flies in the face of the democracy they push down our throats day in and day out. I expect we'll see a few lower staffers get thrown to the wolves whilst those that were in the know and authorised it all at the top will walk away, perhaps a little tarnished, but otherwise avoiding any personal jail time or fines. Case in point is Rebekah Brooks, who I see is likely to pick up a "severance package" of around £3.5 Million. Nice havig so much power that resigning from a post in disgrace carries with it any sort of severance package at all. I feel sure too that shareholders, seeing their dividends and share price shrinking by the hour, will be equally happy.

Hearing on Twitter a 43 year old woman has been arrested in connection with the scandal. Rebekah Brooks is 43 years old.

Why is this funny?

Routinely Fox News attacks Obama for meeting with GE executives and a whole other host of people.

You'll hear nothing but crickets on this one from them though.

These are their bro's! They won't bite the hand that feeds them.

Just more evidence of corruption...Murdoch was a strong backer of Cameron in the election and is a large reason why he won in the first place.
