This Is Awkward

A prominent British TV presenter said Wednesday that CNN talk show host Piers Morgan gave him a primer on phone hacking, a revelation that suggests he knew a fair amount about how the shady practice was carried out.

Piers Morgan is an expert at hacking.

Look what he has done to CNN's ratings.

That's how Apple Computer started out...in fact one of their first "products" was a tone generator that could be used for phone phreaking.

This is quite a surprise to me. I wouldn't have supposed that Piers Morgan knew a fair amount about anything other than being an obnoxious twit.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
