It just really pisses me off that while there is this article, so many other articles out there are focusing on how they listen to the voicemail messages of celebrities. And Boris going on about how "it's awful but everyone does it" in the Telegraph on the basis of that celebrity angle rather than focusing on the Milly Dowler aspect (about which these fuckers should be slapped). Don't even get me started on the comments the Telegraph op-ed is getting along the lines of "If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear" and "You're stupid if you discuss anything private on your own cellphone anyway!"
I wish they'd just focus on the Milly Dowler case, because it's clear that it's gone beyond celebrity muck-raking in a major way, and focusing on the celebrity muck-raking part of the NotW phone-hacking scandal just leaves avenues for "They're in the public eye and are thus asking for it" meebling and playing down its importance (presumably because of not wishing to upset the mighty Murdoch, who I sincerely wish would just SHUT UP). And apparently just considering not letting him have BSkyB is adequate punishment? Ahaha.
