[@renukaviswanathan454]

This is the way to go. The Sun’s unequivocal apology means: 1) that persons contracted by newspapers broke the law; in any other profession, this would mean that those who used their services also need to be investigated 2) it’s the duty of the press to know everything that happens; is it believable that they were ignorant of what was happening under their noses with their own contracts? Isn’t that stupidity if not collusion? 3) in my experience, newspapers never publish anything without confirming the genuineness of the source material. Surely it’s inconceivable that they would have published this stuff without asking how the private detectives had got the information! The tabloid press reminds me of the thief you are chasing who points in a different direction and says: He went that way! Every time you focus on the criminal, he points to a royal squabble. That’s an obvious diversionary tactic. This is not about the royals. It’s about the press doing criminal acts against everyone.

[@rihanasaid9543]

The law needs changing in terms of being able to hold corporations/individuals to account via the court system. Brookes and Morgan shouldn’t be walking around free it’s shocking. The police with the CPS need to investigate…….as things stand our justice system is a joke.

[@tirednsleepy44]

They can literally call a private investigator “my source” and it’s their legally recognised right to reveal nothing about them, whilst simultaneously being able to print what they got them to criminally dig up.

[@paulbird3235]

I know Morgan has done even worse but back in the day Paul Gasgoine was having a mental breakdown and telling friends and family that people were listening to his phone calls. He was told he was just imagining it but Morgan was hacking him, disgraceful.

You just have to watch Morgan’s performance, available on KZbin, in the Leveson Inquiry to see that he was lying. Hardly an Oscar winning performance.
