I'm Lotusblossom Knits. I knit, I dye yarn, I drink tea (and a lot of coffee) and I chase feral children. Occasionally I might ramble on about other stuff as well, like politics, religion and cake.

Un-fucking-believable Wall Street Journal editorial blames competitors and pols for threatening press freedom (not Murdoch); calls paying sources (including, presumably, corrupt police) standard journalism; robs the Journal of its last shred of self-respect and makes clear it is a mouthpiece for Murdoch.
Journalists there, if they have any self-respect left, rise up in protest.

The head of Scotland Yard just resigned.
That follows a story in the NYTimes yesterday that Scotland Yard not only knew about the News of The World phone hacking scandal for four years and did nothing about it, but actively worked to prevent the story from coming out. – http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/17/world/europe/17police.html
Brits tend to trust their institutions far more than people in the US do, but this is really going to shake that faith.
