RUPERT MURDOCH, PAPER TIGER: Jack Shafer predicts the end of the media mogul's reign, comparing him to a 'paper tiger' -- all growl and no bite. "If there are anywhere near 4,000 phone-hacking cases, as one senior detective says, Murdoch could be bleeding slowly for as long as he lives. He no longer enjoys the friendship of the people he bought and has learned the hard way that real power is constrained by the truth. Like some discredited god, all the potency once ascribed to him is evaporating. The paper tiger is on fire."

THAT'S IT: Last ever News of the World proclaims: "The world's greatest newspaper."

LA TIMES: Rupert Murdoch visits a London that's turned on him. "Almost overnight, open season has been declared on Murdoch, with politicians once too afraid to criticize him now lining up to rail against the Australian-born billionaire and his vast media holdings. The effect has been of a dam bursting in a country whose people are famed for their reticence."

UPDATE: Labour bids to put off BSkyB takeover for years, according to the Telegraph.
