It is clear from the article that the paper was desperate for a public interest angle.</STRONG></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.brandrepublic.com/News/893817/Just-public-interest/"><P>Griffiths’ position as an MP, it could be argued, makes him fair game – sufficient for a public interest defence – but NotW really made sure. Not only was the ‘louse’ Griffiths unfaithful, but his infidelity took place in the House of Commons. They even dredged through the MPs’ code of conduct to find a spurious breach, suggesting he had brought the Commons into disrepute.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.brandrepublic.com/News/893817/Just-public-interest/"><P>Griffiths himself seems to have had a ‘head in the sand’ approach when he should perhaps have been more proactive, maybe by giving an interview to the Saturday edition of the Daily Mirror to spike the NotW guns. You might be laughing at Griffiths’ embarrassment now, but take a pause to consider how NotW might find your life publicly interesting.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/AA1F279A-EDF8-4426-864A-E651C2F4394A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
