oh yeah
I'll tell the truth over there in the attack AFL thread then shall I

You can say whatever you like about the AFL over on that thread.

On topic - of course the NRL is competent. Independant or otherwise. They have a history of it. Thanks to News Limited.

You said they weren't stupid, Raider. I gave you three very strong examples of stupidity, and all you could say was "so they're not one of the biggest media companies in the world ?" That's irrelevant. They can be THE biggest media company in the world for all I care. Reality is, they were stupid as well. Big time.

So being a global media empire is an excuse to be stupid and get away with it?

Who's digging a hole for themselves now?

This thread goes off its topic all the time

as I've suggested before it has little meaning and does not encourage discussion in the slightest.

I'm right again and TLPG knows it

So stay on topic. Easy to do if you really want to try you know. I challenge you to try.

> NRL is baaaaaad, mmkaay

If I say anything outside this then I am off topic and subject to TLPG deleting my post right?

I would stay on topic if this thread was not so narrow in its scope.

Both of you are wrong. It's not as narrow as that. You can defend the NRL if you like. You just can't attack the AFL (that's for the other thread), and you can't go off topic (like attack individuals - not just me).

So are you going to try? Or couldn't you be bothered?

It just keeps getting better for News Corp. Coming soon to Australia and the NRL.

The FBI has opened an investigation into allegations Rupert Murdoch's News Corp tried to hack into the phones of September 11 victims, a law enforcement official says.

The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak publicly. The FBI has yet to officially confirm an investigation is underway.
=D>
A number of powerful US congressmen had earlier demanded an inquiry after reports in the media that British newspaper News of the World had attempted to buy the phone records of victims of the 2001 terrorist attacks, British newspaper the Telegraph reports.

The reports claimed News of the World journalists tried to access the phone records by bribing US officials and also illegally tapping phone lines.

Murdoch was forced to close News of the World last Sunday after reporters were accused of trying to hack the phones of people in Britain, from murder victims to former prime minister Gordon Brown.

The FBI investigation means the News Corp scandal has spread to the company's most valuable market, the US, which is home to its hugely successful Fox News Channel.

The US inquiry could be disastrous for the media giant, which has already had to scrap its bid for British TV network BSkyB, and been faced with multiple criminal and judicial inquiries in the UK.

US Securities and Exchange Commission chairwoman Mary Schapiro said she was looking into written demands from six congressmen who want her to investigate whether News Corp breached America's Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

The US Department of Justice is also reviewing calls for an investigation into whether News of the World's phone hacking attempts could have affected US citizens.

It was reported last week that News of World had hacked into the phone of English murder victim Milly Dowler in 2002 and may have impeded a police investigation into the 13-year-old's disappearance.

More possible victims soon emerged, including other child murder victims, the families of dead solider, Gordon Brown and 2005 London bombing victims.

Murdoch has overnight caved in to pressure from Britain's parliament as he and his son James first refused, then agreed, to appear next week before UK MPs investigating phone hacking and bribery by employees of their newspaper empire.
