Unfortunate Word Choices

Hmm:
Mr Brooks said he had been used as a "scapegoat" to "ratchet up the pressure" on his wife, who he claimed was the victim of a "witch-hunt".

Mrs Brooks was editor of the News of the World (NoW) when voicemails on murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler's mobile phone were allegedly intercepted.

  2. Sometimes a witch-hunt is just a witch-hunt.

  3. Can't be arsed looking up the records to see whether Brooks was editing News of the World back when they instigated a campaign against anyone with a sex offense on their record (the one that resulted in attacks on pediatricians).

    IIRC it was Brooks' successor Coulson who introduced the phrase "privacy is for pedophiles". And, apparently, ex-NotW editors.

  4. It's not a real witch hunt until they bring out the duck and scales.
