Rebekah Brooks, Chief Executive of Rupert Murdoch's empire, and avowed feminist, investigated over hacking of murdered schoolchild's mobile phone

This is the woman who ran the News of the World's 'name and shame' campaign against (male) sex offenders.

"The paper took particular interest in the Dowler case, they have claimed, as part of their high-profile campaign against paedophile activity – a campaign launched and closely overseen by the paper's then editor, Rebekah Wade (now Brooks), and her deputy, Andy Coulson, who has already resigned from the paper (in 2007) and the prime minister's press office (in January this year) over his connection with previous phone-hacking scandals.

By deleting messages illegally retrieved from Milly Dowler's mobile phone, the paper misled her family into believing she had emptied her inbox herself and was still alive – when she was not. This gave the family hope, which was exploited by the paper in publishing optimistic interviews with them.

In deleting the earlier messages, the paper also removed information that would have had a direct impact on the police investigation of Milly's disappearance."

Is someone going to post every time some asshole criminal happens to be female?

This hasn't anything to do with feminism. Andy Coulson, Richard Wallace and Piers Moron and dozens of other editors and higher-ups on Fleet Street are also under suspicion for all this. You think those guys are feminists? The guy who did all of the hacking, Glenn Mulcaire, is having all of his legal fees paid up by News International to stop him from blabbing. It wouldn't surprise me if the people he can name go up much higher than Brooks.
