It doesn't get more graphic and detailed than the revelations at the British inquiry into the media. A former editor of the News of the World lays all bare. And it confirms what a sleaze of an organisation the Murdochs head at News Limited.
"Former News of the World editor stuns UK media inquiry with a breathtakingly frank account of life at a British tabloid.
‘‘Privacy is for paedos,’’ declared former News of the World man and tabloid veteran Paul McMullan in the midst of his evidence at the British Leveson inquiry in the UK media.
He had only just observed that ‘‘in 21 years of invading people’s privacy I’ve never found anybody doing any good’’ - statements that together amounted to a credo for the brutal tabloid newspaper world of which McMullan, former deputy features editor of the now-defunct Sunday, became the chief spokesman in the otherwise stifled confines of courtroom 73 at the High Court in London.

The public interest, he said, added up to no more than the sheer number of copies the News of the World could sell."
