Just sent this to Drudge. He seems to be having a hard time getting the link up.

“Hoare, who worked on the Sun and the News of the World with Coulson before being dismissed for drink and drugs problems, is said to have been found dead at his Watford home.”

Full Disclosure: I am quite actually not a great fan of Rupert Murdoch.

That said, it would appear to me that heading into our 2012 elections, the Left worldwide is raising to a new level their sense of politically correct “justice”, where the important matter is the severity of the charge, not the validity of the evidence, in an attempt to totally discredit all aspects of Mr. Murdoch’s media holdings in the public mind.

One could say that they are following Obama and his attacks on Fox News, but like minds do not need to “follow” each other, and all of them being dominated by Leftists, they are one as far as a political agenda and need no generals to give orders.

Just heard this on MSNBC. They found him with the gun and two bullets in the back of the head.

They are reporting it as a suicide.

Who is? The Washington Park Police?

How do they know that within minutes without a full policeinvestigation?

When MSNBC says a Whistle Blower that could have possibly brought down a lot of people has committed suicide then you know it’s murder.

Speaking of phone hacking, what ever happened to, who was it, the Martins, were just driving to the mall to get their grandchild a toy or something, when they just happened to have a sophisticated electronic device which was able to tap into Newt Gingrich and Republican leader's phone conversations, tape them and send to high-level Democrat politicians and the New York Times?

What ever happened to them?

I don’t think they know that. It sounds like a rumor.

By the looks of the guy I’m guessing the boyfriend, with a small staff, in the bum. Repeatedly and amateurishly.

He’s just exercising his right to remain silent and somebody else just enforced it.

“...There’s also an Australian link to the growing scandal. Aussie supermodel Elle Macpherson and her former business manager Mary Ellen Field were victims. It led to a catastrophic falling out because Elle thought her employee was leaking to the press about her, never realising their phones were being hacked.
