		Piers Morgan's rediscovery that hard news sells newspapers and wins awards may be good news for lesser celebrities, who can now sleep easy in other people's beds, but it spells trouble for a government faced with big political problems.
		Morgan was at his self-confident best (or worst) in the cramped Courtroom 13 on the Strand as he defended his decision to splash the visits to Narcotics Anonymous by Naomi Campbell, the supermodel, over his paper's front page.
		Morgan did not like the taste of his own medicine, and appealed to other editors to get their journalists off his case when they doorstepped him at his home in London.

		Morgan, who bought a stake in the trade magazine Press Gazette after his dramatic departure from the editorship of the Daily Mirror two years ago as a result of the fake Iraqi prisoners picture scandal, is convinced that the venture cannot fail.
		Morgan is convinced that the recent demise of the cartoon-led Funday Times section of The Sunday Times is "massively to our benefit", and claims the section had a readership of 370,000, which he hopes to pick up.
		Morgan, who describes himself as the "editorial overlord and frontman" for the project, will write a weekly interview on a high-profile figure in the news who is of interest to children.

	Is Piers Morgan justified? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Morgan finally confessed he'd been taken in by the fake pics but insisted there was genuine evidence to suggest Iraqi prisoners had been ill-treated.
		Morgan cannot contest (well he can) that in the first instance a photograph was published in the Daily Mirror of alleged brutality taking place in the back of an MOD vehicle.
		Morgans and his newspaper, published without witness a false fabricated contrivance with the sole intention of (various, I shall not go into this) duping the readers, and indeed the Nation.

		MORGAN: This is a very sensible woman who has been on the throne for more than 50 years telling a royal butler to watch his back just after his boss has been killed in a car crash that was reportedly an accident.
		MORGAN: Diana was a massive threat to the monarchy in the sense that she had almost replaced the monarchy in public affection.

	The 'Daily Mirror's hate America and Bush campaign
		Piers Morgan, editor of the British tabloid the Daily Mirror, has been running an anti-American hate campaign that is motivated by his and Pilger's pathological hatred of America.
		That Morgan of the "City Slicker scandal" should take on the persona of a latter day Julius Streicher has much to do with hiring the demented John Pilger who still acts as a mouthpiece for the brutal Hanoi regime.
		To Pilger and the ethically challenged Morgan America is the terrorist state and al Qaeda, Hamas, the Taliban and Saddam, for whom this morally corrupt pair shills, are the real victims.

		Yet Morgan, the longest serving of the current crop of red-top editors, is widely portrayed in rival publications as being on the skids.
		Morgan believes that, to be successful, a modern British tabloid paper has to shout loud and long to stand even the remotest chance of being heard above the clamour of media voices that demand our attention every day.
		But Morgan continues to dismiss the doubters with a sweep of the hand: until proved fl, everything is white.

		And this is what is so staggering about the media's indifference to Morgan's sacking - even though the case had not yet been satisfactorily made, an editor of a major UK newspaper was sacked in response to pressure from, of all institutions, the army.

		It ought to be looked at by an independent body and my inclination would be to suggest that the MoD put the dossier to the Press Complaints Commission, which Morgan is bound to respond to.

		In the immediate aftermath, there was very little scepticism about the pictures; Jackson and others in the MoD were prepared to believe they reflected a reality; and military police are investigating similar allegations.

		Morgan was fooled by pictures alleged to be of British troops abusing Iraqis in the US-style.
		More than that, Morgan’s (albeit inadequate) defence that the fake pictures illustrated events that had happened is probably true.
		He did attempt to take the red-top tabloid into the realms of serious news with respected writers like Tony Parsons, who are equally at home in the broadsheets and, of course, John Pilger, who made his name when the Mirror was first a serious working class paper in the 1960s and ’70s.

		In a counter-attack authorised by Tony Blair, the Prime Minister, Adam Ingram, the armed forces minister, said both government investigators and independent experts agreed that the Daily Mirror photographs which shocked the country a fortnight ago were "not taken in Iraq".
		Mr Ingram launched his attack in the House of Commons as Donald Rumsfeld, the United States defence secretary, made a surprise visit to the Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad, where genuine pictures of abused Iraqi detainees were taken.
