    My opinion: such an awful practice. So glad I've never read the NoTW.

    Yeah, its pretty crappy journalism. In my opinion he's not an undercover journalist, not even a journalist. He just tricks people into doing things they wouldn't usually do for a headline. Its really nasty stuff, but what was to be expected from the NoTW tbh?

    Exactly.

    Nothing surprises me.

    It just makes me hate the NoTW even more, and I didn't even think I could hate the paper even more.

    So glad George Galloway outed the Fake Sheik.

    Well it's been scrapped by murdoch for several months, I'm not going to get excited about a paper that doesn't exist anymore.
