With News of the World shutting down over the scandal, I wonder if the Sun will be heading for the same fate. 8 more people have been arrested and 5 of them are Sun employes:
Britain's Sky News and other British media reported Saturday that those arrested Saturday were The Sun's current deputy editor Geoff Webster, chief reporter John Kay, picture editor John Edwards, chief foreign correspondent Nick Parker and reporter John Sturgis. News Corp. would not publicly confirm the identities of those detained.
While no charges have been laid yet, it sounds baaaadddd for News Corp.
The five journalists from The Sun are being quizzed on suspicion of offenses of corruption and aiding and abetting misconduct in a public office. Police said the three public servants were being questioned on suspicion of misconduct in a public office and corruption offenses.
The three public servants were from the police department, armed forces and Ministry of Defence.
The part that gets me was this...
Police confirmed that the latest arrests came after information was provided to detectives by the management standards committee of Murdoch's News Corp., set up to investigate alleged malpractice.
News Corp. are turning on their own people to save their own skins. I wonder, as this progresses, how much information the employees have about News Corp. and how long it will take for them to start singing out against their former/current employers.
A staffer talking to the BBC said it the best, they are worried they are in the middle of a Whitch Hunt
More arrests
