    I believe in a free press and I've made that perfectly clear.

    I believe in a lot of things also but you seem especially passionate in your defending of a corrupt profession

    Personally I feel the punishment for these fraudsters should be to have to perform community service with someone who is genuinely very ill and deserving of benefits, a bit like a way of an apology, it must hurt to be mocked by fraudsters and i am quite sure many would glady swap places if they want the benefits that badly .

    How can you be so sure?

    If he isn't then he is just clearly trolling to get some attention as he obviously has nothin better to do.

    The profession isn't corrupt. What kind of totally corrupt profession exposes its own corruption? If it hadn't been for journalists, you wouldn't know about phone-hacking.
