All The News That's Fit To Print (Until Sunday, That Is)

The British Press is exploding with this so it's probably worth a mention:

After tabloid The News of the World was caught up in a phone hacking scandal, Media Mogul Rupert Murdoch, channelling his Inner Emperor from Star Wars has decreed that the paper will be shut down as of Sunday.

Staff members are pissed off. (Obviously, they're losing their jobs.)
A former Editor is facing arrest.

And the current editor- who helped get them into this mess, strangely enough, still has a job in the Murdoch Empire. (Probably also a contributing factor to all the rage.)
