Phone hacking? Isn’t it brilliant what members of the fourth estate have been up to in the name of the mighty ‘public interest?’ And the way they have all piled in to cover the story giving it maximum revs has certainly been an eye opener........
The silence has been deafening in some quarters. Daily Star: nothing, not a word. Daily Express: tucked away well behind the salacious stuff. Daily Mirror: rated about third in their priorities. The Sun ‘wot won it for Cameron’ : nothing. The Record: nothing. Daily Mail: nothing last night but weighed in with NewsCorps denial of further involvement this morning. All the broadsheets, including the Times, covered the story, albeit with different tacks.
One of the more interesting pieces from an insider stated that all of this nefarious stuff has been outsourced to private eyes - many on the continent - so a firewall exists between the news hound and the hacker. All deniable and all off the record.
Thanks to the plods willful mishandling of the case from the start all the hacks have had four years to delete their emails and scrub their offices clean. Giant magnet anyone?
Watch out for a fire in the evidence store at the Met.
Telling truth to power is what they are supposed to be about - not who is slagging/shagging who.
