The horrific events in Oslo, Norway today that started with a large city centre bomb blast shortly followed by a nearby shoot spree at holiday island of Utoya have resulted in at least 80 murders, most of whom are teenagers.

The Murdoch press so called professional journalists are once more exposed as being clueless, as illustrated by The Sun headline blaming Al-Qeeda for the Norway terror attack.

The Shooter Breaking News - Subject to Confirmation

The breaking news emerging facts are that the shooter is purported to be Anders Behring Breivik, a Norwegian citizen with affiliations to right wing extremists where his face book page lists him as a Christian Norwegian Conservative.

There is even further unconfirmed speculation that given the huge number of deaths on the Island, that there may have been more than one shooter.

The story illustrates that the Murdoch press (and most of the mainstream press) are running around like headless chickens without the ability to break the law by hacking phones. The News of the World has gone, and so, so will many more tabloids with the broad sheets not far behind to be replaced by the FREE PRESS.

Most got it wrong-

Most got it wrong initially as a right wing muslim event, but slapping labels of right wing, christian, etc. is premature as well.
