Piers Morgan is under scrutiny in the United States as part of the phone hacking scandal backwash. The latest example, by the Daily Beast’s editor-at-large, Lloyd Grove, is headlined Morgan admits dodgy practices.

It begins by noting that the “embattled CNN host… has spent much of the past week denying any involvement in questionable journalistic tactics and lashing out at his critics.” The comes the “but”…

+++++

“But in a nearly forgotten interview on a BBC radio programme two years ago, Morgan admitted to knowing of some of the news- and gossip-gathering practices that are now under investigation by the UK government…

He did not specifically admit to the interception or ‘hacking’ of voicemail messages… But two years before the exposure of Fleet Street’s methods rocked the British body politic, Morgan didn’t disagree that that phone-tapping and other ‘down-in-the-gutter’ tactics might have been employed in attainment of sensational scoops.”

+++++

Mr. Grove is referring to Morgan’s 2009 appearance on Radio 4′s Desert Island Discs during which the interviewer, Kirsty Young, pressed the former Daily Mirror and News of the World editor about tabloid methods.

Young asked: “And what about this nice middle-class boy who would have to be dealing with, I mean, essentially people who rake through people’s bins for a living? People who tap people’s phones, people who take secret photographs… who do all that very nasty down-in-the-gutter stuff — how did you feel about that?”

Morgan replied:

“Well, to be honest, let’s put that into perspective as well. Not a lot of that went on… A lot of it was done by third parties, rather than the staff themselves. That’s not to defend it, because obviously you were running the results of their work.”

• Hmmmmm by third parties, did he mean private investigators?
• Was he admitting to it happening at both newspapers?

If he was referring to the Mirror, then it gives credence to the claims of James Hipwell, the financial journalist who has claimed that hacking used to take place at the paper.

The allegation was strenuously denied by the paper’s publisher, Trinity Mirror, as “unsubstantiated.”

But Morgan’s radio interview gives it more credence.

The denial came before the company announced a review into TM’s editorial controls and procedures.

Mr. Grove points out that the information commissioner’s 2006 report What Price Privacy Now? revealed that during Morgan’s period of editorship the Daily Mirror had entered into 681 transactions with private investigators, involving 45 staff.

This did not necessarily mean that hacking had been involved, but the report was specifically aimed at “halting the unlawful trade in confidential personal information.”

During his Desert Island Discs interview, Morgan added:

“I’m quite happy to be parked in the corner of tabloid beast and to have to sit here defending all these things I used to get up to, and I make no pretence about the stuff we used to do. I simply say the net of people doing it was very wide and certainly encompassed the high and the low end of the supposed newspaper market.”

• No pretence about the stuff we used to get up to?
• What stuff?

Morgan issued a statement to the Daily Beast in which he argued that there was “no contradiction” between his comments to Kirsty Young and his “unequivocal statements with regard to phone-hacking.” He went on:

“Millions of people heard these comments… and none deduced that I was admitting to, or condoning illegal reporting activity. Kirsty asked me a fairly lengthy question about how I felt dealing with people operating at the sharp end of investigative journalism. My answer was not specific to any of the numerous examples she gave, but a general observation about tabloid newspaper reporters and private investigators. As I have said before, I have never hacked a phone, told anyone to hack a phone, nor to my knowledge published any story obtained from the hacking of a phone.”

• So what stuff did he mean?

• Quite apart from that unknown “stuff”, Morgan’s record as an editor was punctuated by ethical blemishes.

Lyrics:

It’s Chris Crocker
Forgive me Father,
for I have sinned.
There’s just something inside of me that
I can’t hold back any longer.
Maybe the rumors are true.
Maybe I am crazy.

I got you thinkin’ all them bad things
I got you reachin’ for them body parts
I’m ’bout to make you do the walk of shame.
You never thought that you would…

Just start

Time is tickin’
Hearts are skippin’
Ready to go
Feels like my logic’s lifting
Head is spinning out of control
You’ve got my body twitchin’
Thirst is quenchin’
Ready to go
Crocker’s off his rock
Baby this is my show

You’ve got my mind in the gutter
When we’re touchin’ on each other
Rollin’ round under covers
Blowing kisses like we’re lovers
I like the way that you taste
When you’re all up in my face
Bodies touching, mind’s corrupted
‘Cause my mind is in the gutter

Chris Crocker’s on the loose
Are you scared yet?

I hear the freaks come out at midnight
I’ve got you working up an appetite
Now are you sure that you should take a bite?
(Take a bite)
‘Cause once you do then you are mine

Tired of waiting
Blood is racing
Out of control
I feel like chasing you to date me
Is a race of it’s own
You are my property now baby
So come fetch your bone
I’m the Crock ya rock ya sock ya baby
I’m in control

You’ve got my mind in the gutter
When we’re touchin’ on each other
Rollin’ round under covers
Blowing kisses like we’re lovers
I like the way that you taste
When you’re all up in my face
Bodies touching, uncorrupted
‘Cause my mind is in the gutter

I hear your body say
It wants more
But your scared you’ll be addicted boy
Now make the move
Before you lose the choice
I’ve got something that you might enjoy

You’ve got my mind in the gutter, baby
You’ve got me so twisted lately
I’ve lost my mind to another, baby
I’ve lost my mind
Mind in the gutter

I met you in a record store
You had slept in the clothes you wore
But I knew I’d seen you somewhere before

What happened to your guitar?
And what happened to the prettiest star?
Can you still play the songs that got you so far?

Hey you, with your shadow in the gutter
How low have you got to go before you’re through
High times, a butler in the morning
All your memories are coming out of your shoes
Black dog, sitting in the park
Odd looks from the mothers of the devil’s own
Shoplifting, getting your essentials
Gate crashing, christenings and funerals…
…And weddings too.

I used to see you all the time on MTV
Read your life story in a magazine
I guess you thought thats the way it’ll always be.

But I believe in you
Cause I think that you’d want me to
Though I never really liked your songs, its true

Hey you, with your shadow in the gutter
How low have you got to go before you’re through
High times, a butler in the morning
All your memories are coming out of your shoes
Black dog, sitting in the park
Odd looks from the mothers of the devil’s own
Shoplifting, getting your essentials
Gate crashing, christenings and funerals…
…And weddings too.

Hey you, with your shadow in the gutter
How low have you got to go before you’re through

Shoplifting, getting your essentials
Gate crashing, christenings and funerals…
…And weddings too.
