Exposed!

How ironic. The News of the World, with its habit of 'world exclusive' stories, exposing the salacious details of assorted people's lives, has now had a taste of its own medicine.
From the start, NoW reporters had very close relationships with the police, so that they could get the details which would feed the interest in the public which would sell the papers. But their modern methods (phone hacking) have been exposed, and their focus (murdered children) have been found to deeply disturbing.
Before any of us starts to feel smug, we would do well to recall the warning given to God's people in the time of Moses. 'You may be sure that your sin will find you out.' (Numbers 32.23)
While we may be appalled at the behaviour of some of Rupert Murdoch's employees, they like us are fallen human beings. We would do well to remember that his power and influence has risen because he feeds the world with the sort of stuff - some of it very nasty, in my view - which too many people find addictive.
We wait to see whether Government will try to muddle their way through this event, as many may not with another enquiry which may expose some of their dirty dealings.
Best wishes,
