CNN Host Piers Morgan Denies Phone Hacking Allegations

Before American audiences knew him as Larry King’s replacement on CNN and a panelist on “America’s Got Talent,” Piers Morgan had a long career as a British tabloid journalist, during which he served as an editor at The News of the World  and  The Daily Mirror. The News of the World  was closed in the fallout from the phone hacking and police bribery scandal that continues to envelop parent company News Corporation, and the Mirror’s corporate parent  announced this week that it is  opening an investigation into whether hacking took place at it’s newspapers. Last week, Conservative MP Louise Mensch alleged that Morgan was aware of hacking during his tenure at both tabloids. The BBC’s Jon Manel  reports on the latest.
