I think I read all the spite, Honey, and expected it after the story broke. No point in wishing a scorpion didn't sting. It's in its nature. |

Perhaps you missed some of the uncalled for spite in the papers?  (I hope you did) |

All the standard nasty stuff in the News of the Screws normal behaviour (the truly unpleasant behaviour Leveson SHOULD have examined if the Inquiry hadn't been on an agenda) is coming out in the hacking trial. And one name keeps being mentioned at the Old Bailey… Max Clifford.
Meanwhile in an unconnected Karma incident over in Southwark... |

Answering questions and points on other threads, I felt the media behaved as expected during my wrongful conviction; I had no problems with them covering the great story. That's what happens when you're famous.
So I don't blame them. I blame police and CPS for wanting to get a high profile conviction without caring about the truth.
Police should be only 100% dedicated to finding the truth, even if it means dropping cases where there is no evidence.
As for my point about the media hacking Milly Dowler's phone - given the incompetence of the police, direct action in trying to find and save a missing girl (and getting a great story) should be praised, not condemned.
When the worst that can be said is that it gave parents "false hope", which I cannot see as a bad thing anyway, the positive possibilities are far greater.
Yes, she was already dead but nobody (except Belfield) knew that at the time and I can see no negatives to their behaviour. |
