    An American politician, can't remember who, has asked the FBI to investigate it. I think he suggested he had intelligence to suggest it did happen but wouldn't elaborate.

    Ah, yes - Peter King (R)NY, a conservative.

    Who's he trying to impress, eh?

    Hopefully he is trying to get at the truth, mate.

    These people really need taken to task and punished if they are found to have done, or sanctioned, these things.

    Simple sarcasm, buddy.

    I'm sorry, but all I have atm is another baseball device, too stale to deploy, hang on a sec...oh, fuck it, I'm damned rusty, I'll tell you.

    Um, watch the attention he gets from anyone but Fox, eh?

    That ought to be instructive; they're not as familiar with him as they might be.

    I'll watch for him on Auntie tomorrow, if I remember.

    I am given to understand that Fox did not even mention any of this.

    However they just showed a bit of "off air" material on the BBC, where the newsreaders were saying to each other "So who is going to mention it first then".

    The general consensus was "Not me".

    Well, I normally have some sort of news on all day at work, but I have been multi-tasking like a truly superior specimen the last few days, and I can't say I've got anything substantial, yet; if I watch BBC America, it's pretty early in the am.

    I can't comment about Fox 'cuz I didn't watch, but if that's true, it's awfully suggestive, wouldn't you say.

    Awfully, awfully suggestive.

    It was certainly reported that way on the BBC, though it could have changed by now obviously.

    This had at least 24 hours on me, Jim.

    I watched a bit of FoxNews this AM, and saw scatterings, twice.

    There was an ownership disclaimer each time (not awfully curious - agreed?); the only news was the resignation of Rebekah Brooks.

    Early days.

    I'm guessing there is a shit-ton of legal money flying about just now.

    What I wouldn't give to have an ear to certain walls.

    At any rate, this morning I was distracted by a truck's collision with a light standard (480V single-phase) at the main entrance to one of my contracts, in a driving rain - really lucky to have caught any tube at all.

    Fox is saying we need to move on from the story. Nothing to see here.

    As far as I can tell they are equating the pentagon and banks being victims of hacking with the News of the world perpetrating hacking



    The other networks seem to have had an orgasm in their pants over this, I suppose Fox would too if it was a rival conglomerate.
    When I was a kid I was told "We do these things not because they're easy, but because they're hard"

    Now all I hear is " I won't do anything unless there's something in it for me"
