Depravity

The Gorse Fox has read with horror of the hacking of the mobile phone messages of the missing Millie Dowler, and cannot find the right words to describe the depths of depravity to which our media are willing to stoop. Obviously one individual will be the fall guy as the News of the World tries to limit the damage. But when you whole business model is based on exposing or alleging the most unsavoury behaviour in our society - not to heap opprobrium on it's perpetrators, but rather to lionise them and to titillate the morally destitute.

One wonders how much lower the media can go.

The Red Tops have always operated on the lowest moral level, but of recent years they have begun to operate - in keeping with the Blair Liebor government's example - entirely without any form of moral compass.

How much mower can they go? I'd say they have reached the bottom already, and those that read this trash are no better.
