Choughworld Journalists in Hacking Scandal

A journalist, earlier today.

The Blogosphere has been rocked by allegations that Choughworld journalists are being investigated by the Metropolitan Police over allegations of Twitter Hacking.

In the first example of prosecutions outside News International and Trinity Mirror Group, our Chip Pan Fire correspondant, Mr Chough, has been interviewed under caution.

"I had no idea that reading Twitter and then reporting it as news was illegal," he protested.  "Journalists at the MEN have been doing it for years."

A source at the Metropolitan Police countered this argument.  "Ignorance of the Law is no excuse," said an unnamed source.  "Off the record," he continued. "If Mr Chough wants to continue doing this, I can tell him where to leave the plain brown padded envelopes."
