Kelvin Mackenzie at the Leveson Inquiry

Bullish and unpleasant as per usual, Mackenzie was successfully routed on the Anne Diamond case and his role as Sun Editor during most of his time there. I say most of the time because he did say he was more restrained towards the end because of the commercial changes and this is where I have real problems with this sort of Journalism is that it has a "give the people what they want!" attitude and to grab their attention it goes for sensationalist muckraking, rather than to educate, entertain, and inform which is better. Why because the latter tends to be more predisposed to the truth, the former by being sensationalist is more inclined to slide off the rails, and many people expect to, or feel it is an ideal, to believe most of what they read in newspapers
