Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 8:19pm on Friday, July 10th, 2009 | Journalists working for Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers used criminal methods to get stories, The Guardian newspaper reported on July 8, 2009:
"Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers has paid out more than £1m to settle legal cases that threatened to reveal evidence of his journalists' repeated involvement in the use of criminal methods to get stories.
The payments secured secrecy over out-of-court settlements in three cases that threatened to expose evidence of Murdoch journalists using private investigators who illegally hacked into the mobile phone messages of numerous public figures to gain unlawful access to confidential personal data, including tax records, social security files, bank statements and itemised phone bills. Cabinet ministers, MPs, actors and sports stars were all targets of the private investigators.

Eric Kallgren Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 3:08pm on Monday, February 2nd, 2009 | Swimming superstar Michael Phelps’s many endorsements could soon go up in smoke. A photo of Phelps inhaling from a marijuana pipe was published in Britain’s News of the World on February 1, 2009, and the swimmer didn’t deny it. In a statement, Phelps said, “I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I’m 23 years old and despite the successes I’ve had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.” This isn’t Phelps’ first time in the dog house. Shortly after the 2004 Olympics, he pleaded guilty to drunk driving.
