Hugh Grant, Piers Morgan Feud over Murdoch Links

Hugh Grant and Piers Morgan have reignited their long-standing feud following the UK government's decision not to reopen the Leveson Inquiry into press ethics. Grant criticized politicians for being intimidated by Rupert Murdoch, prompting Morgan to call him a 'hypocrite' for allegedly profiting from Murdoch-owned companies. Grant vehemently denied recent involvement, stating his last work with a Murdoch company was in 1994, while Morgan pointed out the distribution of Grant's film through Murdoch-owned 20th Century Fox. John Cleese supported Grant, criticizing Morgan's tabloid-style arguments. This clash highlights ongoing tensions around media ethics and the influence of powerful media figures like Murdoch. The conflict has kept both Grant and Morgan in the public eye, underscoring their opposing views on media practices.
