I was wondering when this was going to happen. The Mirror, who if you remember published photos of abuse on Iraqi’s, is to reveal the names of the soldiers who provided the fake pictures to the Royal Military Police. I love this quote
While we are committed as journalists to protecting our sources, that does not extend to people who have acted fraudulently in pursuit of money.”
Of course… no tabloid, especially the Mirror, has ever printed information for the sole purpose of increasing ratings or making money. No, that’d be wrong!
In a related note, the Mirror are taking suggestions in retracting their “Sorry.. We Were Hoaxed.” headline to “Sorry.. We Are Idiots.” That’ll please the “I told you so” section of their readership, or at least the double digit IQ readership… All 4 of them.
