News of the World's already questionable ethics are revealed to be more like "non-existent" or "full-blown depraved."
The victims of the British tabloid phone-hacking scandal now include the relatives of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, in addition to the relations of victims of the London terror attacks and a murdered 13-year-old girl. So, basically some of the most vulnerable, grief-stricken people in all of Britannia, leading us to seriously worry about what other demographics have been targeted – children orphaned by drunk drivers? Widows of Second World War veterans? Morrissey fans? Either way, this does not bode well for News Corporation CEO Rupert Murdoch and his News of the World tabloid, which has skyrocketed from merely a tasteless gossip rag into just about the most hated institution in the U.K. British Prime Minister David Cameron says he will order inquiries into the ethics of the London press, which could be very well be even more stomach-turning.
