IS it not time the malpractices of journalism were checked? It appears newspaper editors and their owners can print whatever they desire.

One poor quality tabloid bugged a room and encouraged one of its journalists to pose as a foreign dignity.

It was a despicable and shameful act, perpetrated by the tabloid, its editor and owner. It was even more despicable that the Press Complaints Commission and the Government did not express their condemnation of the tactics used by the newspaper, if it can be called a newspaper. It is time the British Press got down to dealing with such malpractices.

On another occasion, a young lady was tricked into making remarks about others. Yet she, not the tabloid, its editor and owner was everywhere regarded as the villain, not the victim. Is it not time the readers of such filth turned on them and said enough!
