The Telegraph’s attacks on the BBC are breathtakingly hypocritical The Telegraph holds the BBC to standards they fail to meet themselves, the hypocrisy speaks for itself.

Earlier this year The Telegraph shared misleading statistics about London's migrant population and faced no serious sanctions from IPSO. Accuracy is fundamental to our media landscape and the Government must act to ensure that newspapers are subject to standards of ethics and accountability. 2/2

The Telegraph has published its "editorial view" on the recent BBC resignations, claiming that they want "to ask legitimate questions about the accuracy of its journalism". If only The Telegraph would hold their own reporting to the same standards. 1/2

The Hack: What next? Jack Thorne, Patrick Spence and Joe Williams are joined by Kerry Katona, Lisa Moorish and Jacqui Hames for 10th Leveson lecture "The Hack".

Join us on November 25th for this very special Hacked Off event with the makers of ITV's "The Hack", including Bafta-winning writer Jack Thorne, and campaigners on press abuse Kerry Katona, Jacqui Hames and Lisa Moorish.

...after #TheHack - we highly recommend listening to 'After The Hack' podcast!

final note for this shocking episode: Rebecca Brooks might have resigned at the time, but she didn’t stay gone for long… she’s now the CEO of News UK, i.e., in charge of Rupert Murdoch's media empire in the UK.

It should have finished Murdoch.. it didn’t. #theHack

“Decent people are out of a job”
There were no decent people at the News Of The World. Fuck them all. #TheHack

Read the original article exposing #TheHack of murdered schoolgirl Millie Dowler’s phone by @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/uk/2011/jul/...

#EnormousDeletion - could that be the more than *30 million* emails that were deleted by Rupert Murdoch's UK company, News Group Newspapers, during the phone-hacking scandal? #TheHack

“I believe that powerful forces are involved in a cover up” You don’t say. #TheHack

Referring to Nick Davies #TheHack

Too many. Media reform is the only way to regain a functioning country. With big name 'quality' papers spewing out this drivel daily no wonder we aren't a serious country anymore. Misinformation is rotting our brains. I support @hackedoff.bsky.social & their call for reform & accountability.

Spot on. Thank you Liz.

Jacqui Hames - “I don’t think anyone’s understood the depth of criminality here, destabilising police investigations, I mean we’re talking about a murder charge.” #TheHack

Gordon Brown “Correct me if I’m wrong but the problem that we have is that the police, politicians and press are all collaborating under Murdoch’s aegis”

No correction. #TheHack

Nick: "The whole industry turned away like a complicit snake"

Sounds about right. #TheHack

Jacqui: "Someone from within the Met - sold him my information"

Corruption and collusion going back decades. #TheHack

BSkyB explainer - another media mega corp that Rupert Murdoch wanted control of - to add to his long list. It would have reduced the choice of UK TV news providers. Less choice, more Murdoch. Sound familiar? #TheHack

Gordon Brown: “I think this country has become polluted - and I think that we could all, should all, try to do something about it, don’t you?”

Still true. #PressAbuse #Corruption #TheHack

Episode 6 #TheHack now coming up on ITV. Live posting with Liz 👋.
