Not only does the US have several sources of news that are on par with the BBC, most notably the frequent targets of right wing attack that are PBS and NPR, but also the British press is at least as tabloid, celebrity news driven as the American press. The scandal that brought down a chunk of the Murdoch empire wasn't due to hard hitting journalists hacking government officials' cell phones. It was hacking cell phones to get salacious celebrity information and irrelevant personal information on the families of murder victims. I now have the impression that this writer is on a mission to craft a diatribe rather than a story.Thommhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17179697516506456548noreply@blogger.com
