The Daily Star today went with the headline, 'Maddie' found in Ireland after yesterday going with 'Maddie' found in Greece while printing pictures of the missing 10-year-old alongside the articles.
Has the British Press yet again shown themselves to be totally out of control and unfit to practise self regulation?
Was Leveson a useless exercise and a complete waste of money after all?
reached an all time low by printing such a headline?
I would guess that no, the Daily Star hasn't plunged to new depths, because they've probably attained such depths before. But I don't read it so I can't really comment.
But the Leveson question is interesting and that's a saga that's still ongoing. Leveson could only recommend, he couldn't implement, so whether or not it was a waste of money will very much depend on what's finally put in place. I think the all party "carrot and stick" proposal is a good one myself, but the press barons may well yet succeed in derailing it.
