Paul Burgin / Mars Hill:

Plus what are the chances of Conservative bloggers covering this this evening! They have sometimes accused Labour bloggers of a “Move along now…” attitude, its amazing how silent they are the moment a story against the Conservatives breaks out!

Sunder Katwala / Next Left:

Keeping Coulson may prove too difficult, But the attempt to do suggests that the only ethic that matters is one of convenience – and that different rules apply to the inner circle.

Brian Walker / Slugger O’Toole:

News Corp agents hacked into “two to three thousand” mobile phones including John Prescott’s and Tessa Jowell’s. Among the story sources – presumably unauthorised and indirect – seems to be the police and the Office of the Information Commissioner who regulates Freedom of Information and Data Protection.

Councillor Bob Piper:

Couldn’t happen to a nicer nest of vipers. The reaction of all those Tories who were so sickened by the behaviour of Damien MacBride, will be watched with some interest. Prepare for the Sound of Silence.

Columbia Journalism Review:

Now, we normally wouldn’t write about a tabloid scandal in Britain. But the executive who oversaw News’ UK papers at the time is Les Hinton, who is now CEO of Dow Jones & Company, parent of The Wall Street Journal. The Guardian writes that he has “misled” Parliament and the public, “albeit in good faith.” Basically, the exec ultimately responsible for News of the World at the time of the scandal is now the guy in charge of The Wall Street Journal.

Claude / Hagley Road to Ladywood:

What’s most depressing is the evidence that Murdoch’s clout on all aspects of British life is beyond the most pessimistic predictions. Aside from confirming the sheer ineptitude of the Press Complaint Commission, the revelations show awful practices on the part of the police and the Crown Prosecution Service for failing to investigate the repeated and criminal breach of the Data Protection Act.

Mark Thompson / Mark Reckons:

If Mr Cameron is smart (and we all know he is) he will be lining up a potential replacement as I write. He may claim to be “relaxed” about the situation but not so relaxed as to not have a Plan B I am sure.
