The ethics of the Murdoch press

The story of the use of illegal telephone taps by the Murdoch London Sunday tabloid News of the World keeps getting worse and worse. To the members of the royal family, models and sportsmen who were victims of the practice we can now add the former Cutlure Secretary Tessa Jowell. The London Daily Telegraph reports Ms Jowell as saying that she had been told by police that they had found evidence that her phone had been hacked by a private detective hired by the News of the World.
