Will other newspaper turn on the 'news of the screws', now that they have upset the applecart?

Question

I have little respect for print media, having worked there myself... However, even I admit that some papers are better than others.

The 'News of the Screws'/ Mosley case has had some serious repercussions for the media and their ability to pursue sexual stories.

Do you think that other news media will blame the Murdoch press, and give them a hard time over this issue

Answer 1

I don't think they will but I doubt that Murdoch will notice if they do.

It was interesting to see that Mosley relied on EU privacy laws on this occasion.

Answer 2

As I gave up reading newspapers some years ago I would not be able to give an honest informed answer..

I gave them up because most of what was written was fabricated to suit the political view of the owners or political sponsors of the said paper....

If honest truthful journalsim existed there would be no newspapers worth reading....They can rarely if ever write the truth let alone print it..

Answer 3

The real problem is that we have a judge actually inventing a new law!! or did you miss that bit!!!

What the press and other media need to do is demand parliament makes a new law or we run the risk of paedophiles, rapist and s*x offenders being able to hide behind it too!!!!

This is one of the worst judgements ever made in such a case!!

But Max has proved that whilst sticks and stones might break his bones, whips and chains excite him!!!

Answer 4

The sheer hypocrisy of the NOTW etc is astonishing.  They purport to be guardians of morality then sell papers on the back of lurid revelations (which they pursue avidly lol).

''Let him who is without sin cast the first stone''

Answer 5

I gave up taking any notice of what rubbish they printed in the w***e's Gazette MANY years ago, and it's nice to see they got their come-uppance over this one. What the bloke does in his own time, in private and with his own money is nothing to do with the papers, and most people couldn't care less anyway.

Even more to the point - had anybody ever heard of this bloke before the W/G sent their spies in - and are we any better for knowing who he is now? - NO ! ! !

I noted that as per usual, they wheeled out all the usual 'suspects' to pass their opinion - Max Clifford & Co Ltd for instance, and as for the bloke from the NoW outside the Law Courts complaining about the judgement and how a public figure (WHAT PUBLIC FIGURE - HE ISN'T ONE!) ought to behave better than that - that's RICH coming from THEM ! ! !
