I don't know how much of the Mosley affair has been reported on your side of the pond but the newspaper editors are a bit of a sore point right now. The News Of The World paid someone to record his BDSM session, went public, and has just lost the ensuing privacy case to the tune of £60,000 in damages and several times that in costs.

The result, and the immediate cause of my poll, is a bunch of papers whining about press freedom and the public interest (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7525103.stm), which it seems to me (and by the looks of it most of my readers) they have thoroughly confused with what the public is interested in.
