it is not so much a monday as a friday minus five
I did not believe News of the World hacking cellphones, of all things, would actually, y'know, be treated as a terrifyingly big deal.The more you know.
I mean, it's not that I assume a lot of moral outrage is causing the sudden respect for the law and non-dickery--Murdoch hatred combined with CYA is magic--but I'll take the cynical view for a few of the results.
Also, Concentrating Too Much Media Power == Abuse!, which is good to know. Had no idea monopolies or oligarchies are ripe for abuse. Don't say it's so.
In other news--god, I have none, work is evil. Send help. Or recommendations for historical fiction as good as Sharon Kay Penman's The Sunne in Splendour (That may not be possible, I know, but hope springs eternal).
