tabloid hack in train wreck moment
Paul McMullen was deputy features editor at the News of the World. He was the subject of an expose by Hugh Grant of all people in the New Statesman,
Lat night he appeared on BBC2's Newsnight where he was faced by Greg Dyke, former BBC Director-General and comedian Steve Coogan.
McMullen came across as a pathetic sleazebag - Lunchtime O' Booze made flesh -, and took a hammering off Coogan and Dyke for his pains.
I can only conclude that McMullen is a glutton for punishment.
