Moving on with todays post, with the help of some of my friends and some research of my own backed by hardcore proof from the true greats of the media world I will now expose exactly what News of the World is; an organization that is simply pathetic to the core. Their news is deceiving, their reporters are swindles and they rip off even their own people by bullying them in writing stuff that will add some 'spice' to their shallow journalism.
First of all I will detail the exact amount of times 'News of the World' has been sued for making false allegations and then have payed hefty amounts of money to the people who sued them. So here goes the long list:
* In 2005, England footballer David Beckham and his wife Victoria brought a legal action against the paper seeking libel damages over an article that carried the headline: “Posh and Becks on the Rocks.” The legal action was withdrawn in 2006 and “resolved on a confidential basis,” according to the couple’s spokeswoman Jo Milloy.
* In April 2006, England footballer Wayne Rooney received £100,000 in damages from the publishers of The News of the World and its sister paper The Sun over articles falsely reporting he had slapped his then-fiancée and now wife, Coleen. Both had always denied the reports.
* In June 2006, England footballer Ashley Cole received damages from the publishers of The News of the World over articles incorrectly alleging the footballer had used a mobile phone as a gay sex toy. Together with its sister paper The Sun, The News of the World paid Cole £100,000 to settle the case
* In July 2006, a libel action brought by the Scottish politician Tommy Sheridan came to court in Edinburgh. Sheridan denied allegations, made by the newspaper in November 2004 and January 2005, that he had an affair, engaged in group sex and attended a swinger’s club in Manchester. Sheridan won the case and was awarded £200,000 in damages. The newspaper intends to appeal against the jury’s decision,[12] and has refused to pay out the money; Sheridan and several associates have been charged with perjury, but the case has not yet reached the courts.
* In January 2010 Norwich City Football Club Started legal proceedings against the News of the World after they published an article, “Canaries on Brink” on 24 January 2010 claiming that the club had begun the processes of going into administration
*Main article: News of the World phone hacking affair
In 2006, the paper used private investigators to illegally gain access to the mobile phone messages of a variety of people of interest to the newspaper. In 2007 the paper's royal correspondent, Clive Goodman, was jailed for four months; the paper's then editor, Andy Coulson, had resigned two weeks earlier. In 2009/2010, further revelations emerged on the extent of the phone hacking, and how widely it was known about within the News of the World and its News International parent.
*Other famous false allegations published by News of the World:
- Caroline Cossey the transsexual "Bond Girl" in For Your Eyes Only (1981)
- Roman Catholic Bishop Roderick Wright, who eloped with a parishioner. (1996)
- Prince Harry underage drinking and drugs (January 2002)
- Angus Deayton and his indiscretion with a prostitute while under the influence of cocaine (2002)
- David Beckham and Rebecca Loos (2004)
- Mark Oaten and his relationship with a male prostitute (January 2006)
- Max Mosley's private sado-masochistic sexual acts with five prostitutes (2008). The News of the World posted a secretly filmed video on their website, and alleged that it involved Nazi role-playing. Mosley took legal action, and the High Court ruled in July 2008 that the News of the Worl had breached Mosley's privacy and awarded him £60,000 in damages and £450,000 in legal fees. The judge also ruled that there was no basis for the allegations of Nazism. (See Max Mosley#News of the World allegations.)
- 14 time Olympic Gold Medallist Michael Phelps smoking from a bong. (2009)
- Accusations that snooker star John Higgins had accepted bribes to throw frames in important snooker matches. (2010)

I was fortunate enough to see a talk show hosted by Mubashir Luqman on the very same topic. My oh my, i never knew that this guy used to write for News of the World and well I do not want to ruin the whole thing my writing what he said, I am instead providing links to the videos of his show which are an ABSOLUTE MUST WATCH !!
I hope you saw the videos but if not then I am highlighting certain very valid points that Luqman raised in his show wihch are as follows:
- He used to work for News of the World writing articles, he used to get paid 400-500 pounds but later he got to know his name has replaced by some writer of News of the world. Upon asking they told him that you get paid so why worry about the name therefore Luqman stopped working for them.
- He called up the reporter who has published the story of allegations on the Pakistani team to his show claiming that he will challenge the reporters credibility but guess what, the news of the world reporter refused to come to the show.
- He also addresses the fact that Majeed is associated with Indian bookies which raises more eyebrows on the whole matter.
- Another valid point he made was that 3 no balls do not decide the fate of the match so how can you punish players with life bans for something that is not high profile betting at all.
- Luqman also provides insight on how the editors and writers of News of the World used to provide fake news in order to sell.
His programme raises more questions about the lack of concrete evidence therefore making my belief even stronger that our team is not guilty and I am proud of taking a stand for them.
I urge people to stand up now and see the real truth behind this conspiracy. Start supporting your team before condemning them for things that have not been proven yet.
Some other links that you should read to further accept the fact that this is a big conspiracy made to shatter our team.
Stand Up. Speak Up.
Proud to be a Pakistani.
