Piers Morgan speaks at Leveson inquiry into media ethics

[@pieperkie]

...and yet he's now paid a LOT on GMB. Ridiculous. Should be criminally prosecuted.

[@marinman3551]

No surprise this man is largely disliked...he says its not unethical to listen to someone else's private messages....imagine opening someone's private mail....unethical or not?.....good job he lives in the world of celebrity and journalism....in the real world he wouldn't be so cock sure of himself he would soon learn to behave decently or would suffer the consequences

[@OrphanAnnie10]

@bina nocht He was hacking phones without any permission from the parties involved and even sung like a canary to witnesses of the levison inquiry to be careful what they leave on their voicemails. I will give him a bit of credit that after getting the sack, he left Murdoch and tried to be a better person, but when his career went down the toilet, while having enough money to live in luxury for decades, he sold his soul to Murdoch again. He's only got morals if he can earn good money with them...If he can't, he crosses over to being a turd who would say anything for a paycheck.

[@adamgrimsley2900]

Well it isn't it depends on the circumstances. If they are hacked yes if not maybe not.

[@monstersince]

the Leveson inquiry was just that, an inquiry by a retired QC with no legal backing. we can all surmise piers morgan was guilty as sin

[@paralegalcollege5502]

"What is your view of someone listening to a private message of another person? Isn't it unethical." "I have no ethical compass so I'm not in a position to say".

Why isn’t Piers Morgan in prison?

[@motorbikemumblings]

What a terrible human being.

[@mattbod]

P.S can’t stand Morgan: he was even more arrogant and evasive than Dacre. Both the Judge and counsel were soft on him IMHO.

[@magpiestudent9357]

Why is he famous? Why is he still a 'thing?' People have been cancelled for far less. This is disgusting.

[@DaddySingh83]

How is this main the face of daytime media and British tv

[@MaggotKing9]

Murdoch mate, and cause he sat there and kept quiet for this. How was he on Britain's Got Talent for years?

[@AEggidy]

@@MaggotKing9 ohh well for that, you could say his affiliation with a certain Simon Cowell... I'll let future evidence to his situation do the talking...

[@AEggidy]

@@MaggotKing9 but yes, spot on about Murdoch and his army of agents.

[@prf7237]

Morgan is despicable.

[@LifeOfRy]

Sleazier than a lot of politicians. Not all, mind. But a lot.

[@bec9255]

To present the concept of ethics to this pond life is like presenting the concept of humanity to Hitler.

[@livl5168]

Can u imagine having some rando listening to ur voice messages and rooting through ur phone like wtf

[@ishaqjaafar7520]

Legally is he allowed to deny the access of his source given that his source has broken the law

[@craigandrew1413]

It wasn't only voicemails. They had intelligence community personnel selling celebrities meta data.

[@susansmith6737]

Why wasn't he jailed?

[@Rob1nson]

Look at the body language and clipped and vague responses…now the Judge in the Prince Harry case has said he did know about it…what should we believe?

[@adamgrimsley2900]

Morgan played quite a good hand here.

[@Sparrowdean]

Not at all because Heather McCartney was called to testify. She stated that she didn't authorise Morgan or anyone else to listen to her voicemail messages.

[@adamgrimsley2900]

@Sparrowdean She has little credibility
