Actually it was the New York World. So actually imho it was originally
perfectly legit.
As usual, however, things change, meanings change, and now it gives
completely the wrong impression.
[3rd random OT factoid]
The News Of The World was a British tabloid, which shut down after the
phone hacking scandal - a lot of their stories were obtained by hacking
into celebrities, politicians, royals voicemails, and while it was very
hard to prove it was also blatantly obvious that journalists were acting
under pressure, if not actual orders, from the very top.
Cheers,
Wol
