S, F and C words are being dropped with abandon live on BBC News (COVID inquiry). What would Mary Whitehouse say?

I thought a thread about the legacy news media could be quite interesting.
I couldn’t believe how exposing this story is that ran on the Sun website recently
I got curious if the lady in question was even a real person, so I looked up her social media. She is real, and seems incredibly vulnerable, her social media has references to a serious mental disorder. How can it possibly be ethical to publish a story like that? Also who approached her and how did it come to be? She says she is unemployed, I’m thinking she was so desperate for the cash, she just agreed without thinking through the consequences, possibly she isn’t able to understand how her story has been used.
The story seems to be aggregated via a media agency SWNS and appears on a good few news sites. I mean it’s devastating for this poor woman isn’t it? How can anyone live it down?
The Sun Fabulous section seems to churn out what seems like hundreds of these types of stories every day. Imagine training for years as a journalist and then having to do that

”REVEALED - A terror attack has ALREADY been carried out in the UK 'because of Gaza': Asylum seeker in custody over alleged crime 'told police they wanted to avenge deaths of Palestinians'
Details of the terror attack in question can't be reported for legal reasons because the case is active.”

It didn’t take long for the Ukrainian flag to quietly disappear from every single masthead as soon as a new war came on the scene. This is just todays Express but it’s gone from every single one.
I will say all of them are doing a good job at reporting the facts and giving each side a fair hearing so far imo. BBC reportages have been excellent with a fraught sounding Lyse Doucet capturing the mood very well indeed. I’ll always have a soft spot for Channel 4 news war zone reports too.
