How much stranger, then, that Peter King (the politician) appeared on Foxnews to chat about it?

Don't know that other US main-stream outlets couldn't seem to find him...in NYC.

Nothing strange about it that I can see, one would have thought he would have been keen to do just that. Though I am not even remotely aware of how your press work and to what extent they are agenda driven.

My only comment, and it remains the same, was that at that time the BBC were reporting that Fox weren't. That remains true, whether he has subsequently appeared or not. Clearly a lot has happened since then, for example at that time Mr Murdoch and his son had declined the invitation to appear before Parliament. They have subsequently reversed that position and now said that they will appear and answer question. Mr Murdoch has also released a statement, I believe in the Wall Street Journal, but I could have picked that up wrong.

Like I said at the time, this could grow and grow. That still remains the case.

And grow it does, with the resignation of Paul Stephenson, London's Police Commissioner and the arrest of Rebekah Brooks, the hounds are definitely baying for blood, and it seems many more heads will roll. It strikes me that the heads so far have been political heads though rather than the actual transgressors, in most cases it is managers who 'should have been aware' rather than the actual perpertrators.

If I'm honest it's the senior managers and responsible persons I would like to see get popped.

Don't get me wrong, anyone who was involved directly should get it.

However let's also get the people who either accepted or encouraged the whole culture.

How do you guys find out all this stuff. My local shop has been out of my regular Sunday paper recently, so i'm clueless.

I heard the Sun are launching The Sun on Sunday. Sun-Day would have been better, Shirley.

Alternatives:

News of the Pun.
Puns of the World.
The Punday Express.
The Puntastic Times.
Punter Gatherers

That is all.
