Homophobic Mirror
The Daily Mirror’s Sunday sister title, the Sunday People, was mentioned in the other news story regarding the libel case of leading singer and performer Robbie Williams who has accepted substantial damages over claims that he is secretly homosexual.
The People newspaper, “Star” and “Hot Stars” magazines in 2004 published stories alleging Mr Williams had engaged in casual homosexual sex.
The publications' owners, MGN Limited and Northern & Shell plc, now accepted the stories were untrue and had agreed undisclosed damages, the court heard.
Faked pictures
This scandal follows an earlier scandal where Piers Morgan, the editor of the Daily Mirror, was forced to resign for printing false pictures in the paper that showed fake images of ' Iraqis' being tortured by British soldiers. The fact that because of Piers Morgan and the Daily Mirror our British soldiers may have died as a result of this.
