The phoenix rises?

So it now seems probable that the News of the World did not in fact delete voice mail messages from Milly Dowler's mobile 'phone after all.  As it was this allegation, more than any other, that so disgusted the general population that the Murdochs felt they had no alternative but to close the paper down, where does that now leave things?  It doesn't alter the fact that they did hack into her 'phone, as they did into many other peoples', but this sort of behaviour is now being seen as no more than common practice among the red tops - however abhorrent it may be.  If I were Rupert Murdoch, I think I would at least be mulling over the possibility of resurrecting the paper, in view of these latest revelations.
