8. I wonder if CNN is a little sorry that their employee is now in the mix
The last thing that they would want is the story coming close to home.

10. Here are the details in his book:
The phone hacking scandal that forced the closure of Rupert Murdoch’s News of the World is drawing in television celebrity Piers Morgan. The former editor of the paper known in the United States as a judge on “America’s Got Talent” allegedly condoned similar tactics while editor of News of the World rival the Daily Mirror, New York magazine reported.

The host of CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight” wrote in his book, “The Insider,” “Apparently if you don't change the standard security code that every phone comes with, then anyone can call your number and, if you don't answer, tap in the standard four digit code to hear all your messages. I'll change mine just in case, but it makes me wonder how many public figures and celebrities are aware of this little trick."

16. wow....that spells "guilty" on so many levels to me
"Move along, nothing to see here" when said by a politician or a Murdoch employee usually means the skeletons in the closet are extra bad.

13. Piers Morgan defines invasive, gotchya journalism.
To say he is a snake is really quite unfair to the poor, slithering creatures.
