I agree that, in and of itself, I’m not eailcpsely worried by reporters using sharp methods to get stories. After all, I could hardly support Wikileaks coverage and the Pentagon Papers on the one hand, and decry the News of the World on the other.But.News of the World have pretty much never broken a meaningful story. The didn’t break the MP expense scandal, or the super-injunction scandal, or pretty much any other major story in UK politics in decades. All they do is dig around and fuck over mostly ordinary people or irrelevant celebrities.
