James Murdoch resigned as the chairman of News International on Monday . Tim Willis : Coming so soon after the closure of the News of the World -- in apparent contrition for its despicable and illegal snooping , but in fact because advertisers had withdrawn their support -- the publication of the new Sunday rag has been widely perceived as an act of breathtaking cynicism . His I - don't - know - nuthin ' stance was rendered untenable in the hacking scandal . Willis : Politicians are happy about the resignation and see it as a victory for the public . He says the public has far more interest in the death of Alan Jones than Murdoch news .
