Did she ‘fail’? She obviously did by the moral standards of the general public, but since the organisation she worked for was completely complicit with everything that was going on her bosses probably thought that she did a great job so have re-hired her. In fact no probably about it, the fact they’ve re-hired her proves it.
This is where I think the press have lost it. They have become conceited and arrogant and think they are untouchable and can just treat people like crap, take a slap on the wrist and a fine from court, then carry on as if nothing happened.
But we, the general public, still buy our papers whilst whinging about the underhand tactics of the press. Maybe if we actually acted with conviction and stopped buying papers then they might start revising their behaviours.
