8. "CNN host Piers Morgan may be next target of hacking scandal"...

http://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/1026806--cnn-host-piers-morgan-may-be-next-target-of-hacking-scandal

British Prime Minister Tony Blair called him a slug. Oprah labelled him a tough cookie. Even his close friends admit he’s a “massive egotist.”

Now, as the British phone hacking scandal washes up on America’s shores, CNN celebrity host Piers Morgan may be the first trans-Atlantic casualty to be caught in its net.

Amid a flurry of high-profile firings, arrests and resignations, British MPs are calling for his questioning following allegations by a popular Irish political blogger writing as Guido Fawkes. The blog claimed that the former News of the World and Daily Mirror editor may have turned a blind eye to phone hacking while heading the Mirror in 2002.

It dates back to a “scoop” that TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson was having an affair with England’s football team manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, which, Fawkes suggests, was the result of hacking into her phone — an allegation the Mirror has denied.

Pardon the picture, maybe I should post a warning :)

10. reading that is nauseating

Piers Morgan, the former editor for Rupert Murdoch's now-defunct News of the World, dedicated a segment of his CNN show Monday to defending the media mogul.

Former New York Post reporter Vicky Ward, who is a personal friend of Murdoch's, joined Morgan.

"Piers, I just got a call an hour ago, and Rupert wanted to tell me personally that, you know, he's not okay," Ward reported. "Ever since he met with Milly Dowler, the murdered girl's parents, he hasn't felt the same. His voice has been cracking, people around him are very concerned, his children are very concerned. This is a man who is more devastated than he has ever been in his entire 80 years, and you know, he is appalled at what's gone on on his watch, and I think he's as anxious to get to the bottom of it as we all are."

"I just cannot accept -- although there is this huge witch hunt going on to bring him down personally -- I don't accept that he himself would be party to illegal activity," Morgan asserted.

13. Makes one wonder what Murdoch has on Piers Morgan & other media defenders

of Murdoch. I wouldn't be surprised if Murdoch has dossiers on many of them, and has let them know he'll leak their private information if he's so inclined.

14. covering for his former employer

[Sal Minella]

15. The video is just blazingly funny -- poor Rupert is the victim

of a witch hunt, and instead of jumping in "with our size 9 boots," we need to wait and hear what he has to say.

By the end of this segment, these two must have had cramps in their eyebrows from trying so hard to look sincere and earnest and concerned for their old friend.

16. Too late to CYA Piers, a little too late. But nice try.
