Piers Morgan Tries, Fails to Extricate Himself From U.K. Phone-Hacking Scandal

Well this doesn't look good.

Testifying before a government inquiry today in Great Britain about his alleged involvement in the phone hacking scandal, CNN talk-show host Piers Morgan didn't do himself any favors when he refused to answer questions about the illegal activities said to have occurred on his watch as the editor of the Daily Mail between 1995 and 2004.

"I have no reason...to believe [hacking] was going on," he told the London-based panel via video link.

...
...

But he declined to reveal who played the tape for him or how he even came to hear it on the grounds that "it would compromise a source."
