LEVESON INQUIRY:CULTURE, PRACTICE AND ETHICS OF THE PRESS

Example given by Sherborne of way Daily Mail described some of the Core Participants at the Leveson Inquiry :
"The Leveson inquiry into phone hacking will ask ‘core participants’ to give evidence.
The line-up looks set to include the get-your-clothes-off model Abi Titmuss, S&M spanker Max Mosley, prostitute procurer Hugh Grant, gold-digger Sheryl Gascoigne, John ‘Pants down’ Prescott and the rent-boy-loving former MP Mark Oaten.
Gerry and Kate McCann are also expected to appear, along with the parents of murdered Milly Dowler.
What sleazy, degrading company for those who have truly suffered."
