Just watched one of her fellow Journo's talking about her on this morning gushing and saying how great she was as a journalist and how honest etc.. she was so great she apparently hadn't a clue what was going on under her on a Paper she was supposed to be editor of.. She should have been sacked for being a cack Boss if that was the case 
I'm finding some of the recent descriptions of her hilarious. For years, everyone in the business who doesn't work for her, or does but is able to speak in private, has described her as a poor journalist and businesswoman. However they would also agree that her one great ability was networking. That was her real value to Murdoch: her ability to smooze with Prime Ministers and the like.
No one's in the public eye's going to go anywhere near her now (or at least they won't be seen anywhere near her), so her usefulness (at least in the short term) is rather limited...
My dad is wetting himself at the descriptions too. He's heard first hand testimony about the shambles of an editorial team herself and Coulson (dep. ed. at the NOTW when she was editor) were in the 2000s. It was the sub-editors and art department that brought out that paper week in week out in spite of the incompetence of their bosses.
