I am catching up on the News of the World scandal, and it is seriously disturbing to see. Especially since News Corp is almost a monopoly. Who knows if its other papers are doing the same thing? It makes me sick.

I can't imagine condoning such actions, and the main company is still surviving of course. While they have have shut down News of the World, they are still printing The Sun (useless trash of a tabloid), Wall Street Journal and others. This of course means that Rupert Murdoch and his family are still sitting high at the top, not actually held accountable for their actions. How could they overlook something like that? And they just fired the journalists (vultures) all at one go. This leaves the police with no place to track them, if they decide to run. All of this is also mired with corruption.

I am so bored today. I never thought that I would say this, with Tumblr and shows before me. But I am. Nothing interest me. I need a good long piece of fiction to get into, rather than just floating around. 

I am just in a weird mood today.

ETA: I have just found something that brightened up my day (night, whatever). *grins*
