CNN Ignores Allegations Against Piers Morgan While CBS, MSNBC Report

For a second straight day CNN ignored the newest phone hacking accusations made against its 9 p.m. host Piers Morgan. Major media outlets, including Bloomberg News , msnbc.com , and CBS have reported the story, but Morgan's current employer, CNN, has remained mum on the allegations. On Wednesday, the ex-wife of Paul McCartney accused a journalist from a British newspaper group of hacking her phone back in 2001, while CNN's Piers Morgan was the editor of one of the group's papers. That prompted a statement by Morgan labeling her claims as “unsubstantiated” and again denying that he hacked phones or ordered anyone else to do so during his time as editor.
