BBC News: Reports that the Sunday Times used illegal methods to gain private information on the financial affairs of the then Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown. When looking at the hacking story folks one has to separate the real illegal threads and the those stories that could be illegal but there is no proof. Also the anti Murdoch left is getting off on the story, they want to cause as much damage as possible to the Murdoch Empire, but when the inquiry starts on the methods used by reporters in all papers expect the sea change, even the left wing media does not want Government regulation of the press, as long as it’s the Murdoch Empire coming under the fire the BBC, Guardian types will be in full attack mode, but when they come under investigation expect shouts of freedom of the press, that is the way it will happen folks, this blog lives in the real world.
